plant nutrition Flashcards
photosynthesis
a process which green plant use carbon dioxide and water to produce oxygen and glucose with the presence of sunlight
chemical equation
6co2+6h2o=c6h12o6=6o2
carbon enter leaf and water enter root
by diffusion and osmosis
chlorophyll
green pigment found in chloroplasts
which trap light energy and convert it into chemical energy
light energy breakdown water into h atom and o atom the o atom diffuse out
use of glucose
to releases energy during respiration
form cellulose cell wall
convert sucrose into starch in leaves
reacts with nitrate to for amino acid
form fats
importance of photosynthesis
oxygen supply and source of energy
external part of leaves
lamina petiole branch and mid rib
internal part of leaves
upper epidermis- cuticle epidermal cell
mesophyll- palisade mesophyll cell spongy mesophyll cell vascular bundle
lower epidermis- guard cell stomata
element for growth
carbon hydrogen oxygen phosphorus and potassium
use of nitrogen and magnesium
nitrogen-synthesis of protein by mixing with glucose
magnesium-produce chlorophyll
