Q

How can you test whether the plant produces oxygen?

A

When a piece of plant is placed in a test tube of water under bright light, it produces a stream of small bubbles meaning that it produces oxygen.

24
Q

What is the function of a waxy cuticle?

A
  • It reduces water loss through evaporation
  • It acts as a barrier to the entry of pathogens.
25
Q

What does the lower epidermis have?

A

Stoma

26
Q

What is the function of a stoma?

A

It

  • allow carbon dioxide to diffuse into the leaf
  • oxygen and water vapor to diffuse out.
27
Q

How each stomata formed?

A

It is formed as a gap between two guard cells.

28
Q

Which change the shape of stomata?

A

Guard cells

29
Q

What layer is in the middle of the leaf?

A

palisade mesophyll layer, a tissue made of long, narrow cells, each containing hundreds of chloroplasts, and is the main site of photosynthesis.

30
Q

How upper epidermis allow light to pass through?

A

It is relative transparent

31
Q

What is below palisade layer?

A

Spongy mesophyll layer

32
Q

What is the function spongy cells?

A

They form the main gas exchange surface of the leaf, absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen and water vapor.

33
Q

Which allows the gases to diffuse in and out of the mesophyll?

A

Air spaces

34
Q

How are the water and mineral ions supplied to the leaf?

A

By xylem

35
Q

How the water get into mesophyll cells?

A

Water is absorb by the roots and passes up through the stem and through veins in the leaves.

36
Q

Which carry the products of photosynthesis by mesophyll cells?

A

The phloem

37
Q

What does the veins in the leaf contain?

A

xylem and phloem tissue

38
Q

Which supplies other parts of the plants with products of photosynthesis?

A

phloem

39
Q

How are water and minerals ions supplied to the leaf?

A

By xylem

40
Q

What does phloem carry?

A

Phloem carries only soluble substances such as sugars (mainly sucrose) and amino acids.

41
Q

What does the plant do when light intensity is high?

A

It carries out photosynthesis at a much higher rate than it respires.

42
Q

How carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere change throughout the day?

A
  • Air contained the least carbon dioxide in the afternoon when photosynthesis was happening at the highest rate.
  • The level of carbon dioxide rose at night time when there was no photosynthesis
43
Q

What is used to indicate the changes in carbon dioxide concentration?

A

Hydrogen carbonate indicator solution

44
Q

What are the changes to hydrogen carbonate solution with different concentrations of carbon dioxide?

A
  • High concentration of CO2 - yellow
  • CO2 in normal air - orange
  • Low concentration of CO2 - purple
45
Q

What are limiting factors of photosynthesis?

A
  • Light intensity
  • Carbon dioxide concentration
  • Temperature
46
Q

What happen if the limiting factor is short supplied?

A

It will affect its reaction rate

47
Q

What is the main sugar carried in the phloem?

A

Sucrose

48
Q

Plant can convert glucose into what?

A

Lipids

49
Q

How does lipid used in plants?

A
  • It is used for the membranes of the cell
  • For energy stored in many seeds and fruits
50
Q

What is another name for soil-free culture?

A

water culture

51
Q

Can plants be grown without soil?

A

Yes, if the correct balance of minerals is added to the water.

52
Q

What is a complete culture solution?

A

The solution contains chemicals that provide all the main elements the plants need to make proteins, DNA, chlorophyll, and other components from glucose.

53
Q

What does a shortage of a particular mineral result?

A

Mineral deficiency disease

54
Q

What are uses and deficiency symptoms of nitrate?

A

Uses - making amino acids, proteins, chlorophyll, DNA

Deficiency symptom - Limited growth of plant, older leaves turn yellow

55
Q

What are uses and deficiency symptoms of phosphate?

A

Uses - making DNA; part of cell membranes

Deficiency symptoms - poor root growth, younger leaves turn purple

56
Q

What are uses and deficiency symptoms of potassium?

A

Uses - needed for enzymes for respiration and photosynthesis to work

Deficiency symptoms - leaves turn yellow with dead spots

57
Q

What are the uses and deficiency symptoms of magnesium?

A

Uses - part of the chlorophyll molecule

Deficiency symptoms - leaves turn yellow

58
Q

What does a plant use to absorb mineral ions?

A
