Plant Structure and Photosynthesis

Question 1

Name 3 plant organs.

Answer 1

Stems, roots and leaves.

Question 2

Leaves are made of which 3 tissues?

Answer 2

Mesophyll Tissue
Xylem & Phloem Tissue
Epidermal Tissue

Question 3

What’s the function of the mesophyll tissue?

Answer 3

Most of the photosynthesis in a plant occurs in the mesophyll tissue.

Question 4

What’s the function of xylem and phloem tissue?

Answer 4

These tissues transport water, mineral ions and sucrose around the plant.

Question 5

What’s the function of the epidermal tissue?

Answer 5

This covers the plant.

Question 6

What ‘food’ does photosynthesis produce?

Answer 6

Glucose.

Question 7

Photosynthesis occurs inside which part of a plant cell?

Answer 7

Chloroplasts.

Question 8

Which green substance do Chloroplasts contain and what is the function of this substance?

Answer 8

Chlorplasts contain chlorophyll.
Chlorophyll absorb sunlight and use the sun’s energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose.
Oxygen is produced as a by-product.

Question 9

What does sunlight provide in the photosynthesis process?

Answer 9

Energy.

Question 10

How does carbon-dioxide get into the leaf during photosynthesis?

Answer 10

Through the process of diffusion.
