Leitner-SystemStudy WorldReview All

most water enters through ___and then moves up through the plant.

roots

water vapor exits through _____.

leaves

____ & _____ enter and exit the leaves.

carbon dioxide and oxygen

outer layer containing many stomata

epedermis

contains carbon dioxide and water needed for plant production

spongy layer

food is produced in the ___ layer.

palisade

cell structures in which photosynthesis occurs

chloroplasts

a green pigment in chloroplasts

chlorophyll

____ help plant absorb light and energy

pigments

plants use carbon dioxide, water, and light energy in the presence of chlorphyll to make gluglose and oxygen.

photosynthesis

light energy splits water into oxygen and hydogen; oxygen is relesed as a waste product.

light dependent reactions

carbon dioxide and hydrogen combine to make ___.

gluglose

_____ is used in a plants stucture and growth.

gluglose

extra glugose is stored as ___ and ___.

sugars and starches

photosynthesis directly or indirectly produces food for almost all organisms. true or false?

true

chemical reactions that break down food molecules and release energy

respiration

glugose is broken into smaller molecules in a cells ___.

cytoplasm

uses oxygen to break down smaller molecules and occurs in a cells mitochandria

aerobic respiration

water + carbon dioxide + energy --> food + oxygen

photosynthesis

food + oxygen --> water --> carbon dioxide --> energy

resperation

food + oxygen --> water --> carbon dioxide --> energy

resperation
