Term
autotrophs
Definition
Plants make FOOD & ENERGY
Plants are producers
Term
Where do plants get energy & food?
Definition
Sunlight
Use energy from sun to make ATP
Air
Use CO2 from air to make sugars
Term
How do plants get energy & food?
Definition
Photosynthesis
Term
Photosynthesis
Definition
Process where the sun’s energy is used to build sugars
Only plant cells carry out photosynthesis!
Term
Photosynthesis – the reaction
Definition
carbon dioxide + water + sun energy glucose and oxygen

6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2
Term
Photosynthesis – the process
Definition
2 separate processes
Light reaction
Dark reaction
Occurs in the chloroplast
Allows plants to grow
Term
Light Dependent Reaction
Definition
1. Occurs in thykaloid membranes
2. Collect light energy
3. Using chlorophyll!
4. Energized electrons go through an electron transport chain to make ATP
4. Water is split to make oxygen
ATP is made
Term
Light Independent Reaction
Definition
1. Occurs in the stroma
2. Uses ATP made in light reaction to make glucose
3. CO2 (from air) and H2O (from ground) make sugar
4. Reactions controlled by enzymes
Term
So what does a plant need for photosynthesis?
Definition
Bring In
1. light
2. CO2
3. H2O
Let Out
1. O2
Move Around
1.sugars
Term
cuticle
Definition
waxy coating of leaf to reduce water loss
Term
Epidermis
Definition
skin protecting leaf tissues
Term
Palisades layer
Definition
1. high concentration of chloroplasts
a. collects sun’s energy
2. photosynthesis
b.makes ATP & sugars
Term
Spongy layer
Definition
1. air spaces
a. gas exchange
b. CO2 in for sugar production, remove waste O2
Term
Label the parts of the leaf.
Definition
[image]
Term
Xylem
Definition
carry water up from roots
Term
Phloem
Definition
1. carry sugars around the plant wherever they are needed
a.new leaves
b.fruit & seeds
c.roots
Term
stomates
Definition
CO2 in
O2 out
H2O out
gets to leaves for photosynthesis
Term
Function of guard cells
Definition
open & close stomates
