Plant Tissues

Question 1

what process do plants use to produce food

Answer 1

photosynthesis

Question 2

putting together w light

Answer 2

photosynthesis

Question 3

word equation for photosynthesis

Answer 3

water + carbon dioxide —> (chlorophyll/light) glucose + oxygen

Question 4

balanced photosynthesis equation

Answer 4

6H^20(l) + 6CO^2(g) —> (Chlorophyll +light) C^6H^12O^6(aq) + O^2(g)

Question 5

where is glucose stored in plants

Answer 5

roots
leaves
stems
(dependent on plant)

Question 6

in what form is glucose stored

Answer 6

starch

Question 7

what’s cellular respiration

Answer 7

process used to obtain energy to fuel cells activities

Question 8

what does cellular respiration produce

Answer 8

ATP

Adenosine Triphosphate

Question 9

where does cellular respiration occur

Answer 9

mitochondria

Question 10

where does photosynthesis occur

Answer 10

leaves

Question 11

word equation for cellular respiration

Answer 11

glucose + oxygen —> water + carbon dioxide + energy

Question 12

balanced chemical equation for cellular respiration

Answer 12

C^6H^12O^6(aq) + O^2(g) ) —> 6H^20(l) + 6CO^2(g) + ATP

Question 13

do both animals and plants do cellular respiration

Answer 13

yes

Question 14

how do plants obtain glucose? animals?

Answer 14

plants - produce through photosynthesis

animal - eating plants or animals that eat plants

Question 15

green pigment chloroplasts contain

Answer 15

chlorophyll

Question 16

what does chlorophyll allow plants to do

Answer 16

carry out photosynthesis

Question 17

cells containing chloroplasts found where

Answer 17

leaves + sometimes stems

Question 18

surface of leaf

Answer 18

upper + lower epidermis (epidermal layer)

Question 19

layer in-between epidermis layers

Answer 19

mesophyll

Question 20

mostly contains chloroplasts

Answer 20

palisade tissue layer

Question 21

space for gas exchange

Answer 21

spongy tissue layer

Question 22

epidermal tissue function

Answer 22

prevents physical damage

protection from disease

Question 23

waxy cuticle function

Answer 23

conserves water

found on outer side of epidermal tissue

Question 24

long, narrow, column-shaped cells packed closely together

Answer 24

palisade tissue

Question 25

where does photosynthesis mostly occur + why

Answer 25

palisade tissue
maximum light exposure
(cytoplasm streams in circle so chloroplasts take turn near top)

Question 26

round cells w very few chloroplasts

many spaces between to collect gases

Answer 26

spongy tissue

Question 27

guard cells function

Answer 27

control opening/closing of stomata

Question 28

stomata function

Answer 28

allow gas exchange between external environment an interior photosynthetic cells

Question 29

when r guard cells typically open + why

Answer 29

day

allows CO^2 to enter so photosynthesis can occur which need slight

Question 30

what process does CO^2 use to enter leaves

Answer 30

diffusion

Question 31

r stomata closed at night + why

Answer 31

yes

prevent water loss

Question 32

transpiration

Answer 32

plants giving off water vapour

Question 33

light strikes leaf
stimulates guard cell to use active transport to pump K+ ions into cell
this lowers water concentration
cell swells up cuz of osmosis
increased pressure causes guard cells to open stomata

Answer 33

photosynthesis process

Question 34

pores in plant stems allowing gas exchange

similar to stomata in leaf

Answer 34

lenticels

Question 35

series of tubes that transport nutrients

Answer 35

vascular tissue

Question 36

xylem

Answer 36

carries water + mineral from roots to leaves

down –> up

Question 37

phloem

Answer 37

carries sugars produced in leaves to other parts if plants

up –> down
