Q

What is photosynthesis

A

Plants get their energy from the soil, air, and su

Plants need carbon dioxide, sun, water

Plants take in water from soil through its roots

  • Xylem: interior
  • Phloem: exterior

Leaves breathe in air from stomata pores (underside)

Mesophyll cells are soft a squishy

  • chloroplasts are the tiny notes
  • chlorophyll makes the leafs green

Sunlight is stored in the Granum in the thylakoid membrane and photosynthesis takes place

Carbon +sunlight +water = glucose +oxygen

Glucose is the food

Oxygen is the waste gas

Q

Chlorophyll

A

Chlorophyll they can absorb light which you can think of is little packets of energy and he uses his energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen

Equation: 6CO2+6H2O~C6H12O6 +602

Transferred to the chloroplasts by light

Carbon dioxide diffuses into the leaves through the stomata. And then the water is taking up from the soil by the roost and transported to the leaves of the xylem

Clore cell is the pigment with in the chloroplast out of sorts to lay energy needed for photosynthesis

The less chlorophyll still the less photosynthesis done

Light intensity increases so does photosynthesis

Carbon dioxide increases is a limiting factor

Q

Glucose:

A
  1. Solar respiration breaks glucose apart to release energy
  2. A lot of glucose can be combined to make cellulose which plants use to strengthen their cell wall
  3. They can also be merged to make starch
  4. Amino acids can combine the glucose molecules with nitrate ions which they get from the soil and they can combine these amino acids to make proteins
  5. They can make oil’s and found that can be stored as future energy

Q

Calvin cycle

A

The Calvin cycle is a process that plants and algae use to turn carbon dioxide from the air into sugar, the food autotrophs need to grow. Every living thing on Earth depends on the Calvin cycle. Plants depend on the Calvin cycle for energy and food.
