Plant Tissues Flashcards
what process do plants use to produce food
photosynthesis
putting together w light
photosynthesis
word equation for photosynthesis
water + carbon dioxide —> (chlorophyll/light) glucose + oxygen
balanced photosynthesis equation
6H^20(l) + 6CO^2(g) —> (Chlorophyll +light) C^6H^12O^6(aq) + O^2(g)
where is glucose stored in plants
roots
leaves
stems
(dependent on plant)
in what form is glucose stored
starch
what’s cellular respiration
process used to obtain energy to fuel cells activities
what does cellular respiration produce
ATP
Adenosine Triphosphate
where does cellular respiration occur
mitochondria
where does photosynthesis occur
leaves
word equation for cellular respiration
glucose + oxygen —> water + carbon dioxide + energy
balanced chemical equation for cellular respiration
C^6H^12O^6(aq) + O^2(g) ) —> 6H^20(l) + 6CO^2(g) + ATP
do both animals and plants do cellular respiration
yes
how do plants obtain glucose? animals?
plants - produce through photosynthesis
animal - eating plants or animals that eat plants
green pigment chloroplasts contain
chlorophyll
what does chlorophyll allow plants to do
carry out photosynthesis
cells containing chloroplasts found where
leaves + sometimes stems
surface of leaf
upper + lower epidermis (epidermal layer)
layer in-between epidermis layers
mesophyll
mostly contains chloroplasts
palisade tissue layer
space for gas exchange
spongy tissue layer
epidermal tissue function
prevents physical damage
protection from disease
waxy cuticle function
conserves water
found on outer side of epidermal tissue
long, narrow, column-shaped cells packed closely together
palisade tissue
