Photosynthesis General & Process Flashcards
What do plants need to make food?
CO2 (Carbon Dioxide), H2O (Water), Sunlight, Chloroplast via photosynthesis
Almost all life depends on?
Algae & Plants
Order of Life
Photosynthesis = Consumption (to function) = consumer = consumer = etc
Formula for Photosynthesis
6CO2 + 6H2O = C6H12O6 + 6O2
Soil is made via
Animal Exercetion, Fungi, Worms, etc
CO2 is from
Air
H2O is from
Soil
Plant energy =
Sunlight from sun
What plant pigments are involved in photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll
Why does chlorophyll look green to us
Reflects green light = absorbs red and blue light
Where does water enter the plant?
Roots = Xylem = tissue that carries water
What is oxygen used for?
Cellular Respiration
Reactants & Products of photosynthesis =
Reactants = Carbon Dioxide & Water
Products = Glucose & Oxygen
