(01-20-2026)

Photosynthesis

is the process by which green plants make their own food using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water, with the help of chlorophyll, producing glucose and oxygen.

Leaves

Chloroplasts

Where it Happens (photosynthesis)? in the - - - - , specifically in the ________

Transpiration

-Is the process by which plants lose excess water vapor through small openings in the leaves called stomata.

Stomata

Where does transpiration happen?

Lenticular, Cuticular, Stomatal, and Bark type

(4) Types of Transpiration

Temperature, humidity, wind, light, and leaf size

(5) Factors affecting transpiration

Temperature

higher _______ increases transpiration

Humidity

low _______ increases transpiration

Wind

increases rate of water loss

Light

opens stomata, increasing transpiration

Leaf Size

larger ________ transpire more
