1
New cards

Leaves

Essential organs for photosynthesis, absorbing sunlight energy.

2
New cards

Chloroplasts

Contain chlorophyll for absorbing sunlight in photosynthesis.

3
New cards

Photosynthesis Equation

sunlight + carbon dioxide + water → oxygen + glucose.

4
New cards

Adaptations of Leaves

Flat and thin with large surface area for sunlight and carbon dioxide absorption.

5
New cards

Vessels (xylem and phloem)

Transport water, minerals, and glucose within plants.

6
New cards

Guard Cells

Regulate gas exchange through stomata, opening and closing as needed.

7
New cards

Factors Affecting Photosynthesis

Temperature, light intensity, and carbon dioxide concentration.

8
New cards

Practical Investigations in Photosynthesis

Using Elodea for observing oxygen bubbles, experimenting with light intensity, and testing carbon dioxide effects.

9
New cards

Starch Production

Indicates photosynthesis occurrence, tested with iodine solution on leaves.

10
New cards

Stomata Function

Small openings on leaf undersides regulating water loss and gas exchange.
