1
New cards

Palisade cells

Cells in the leaf that contain many chloroplasts for maximum light absorption and fast photosynthesis.

2
New cards

Waxy cuticle

A transparent layer that allows light to pass through to the palisade cells.

3
New cards

Spongy layer

A layer in the leaf with air spaces that allow for quick diffusion of carbon dioxide.

4
New cards

Stomata

Pores in leaves that allow gases to diffuse in and out and help control water loss.

5
New cards

Sugar in plants

Used for energy for growth, building structures, and storing excess sugar as starch.

6
New cards

Function of Palisade layer

Maximizes photosynthesis by packing chloroplasts tightly in columnar cells.

7
New cards

Importance of air spaces in spongy layer

Facilitates the rapid diffusion of carbon dioxide into the leaf.

8
New cards

Role of stomata

Regulate gas exchange and minimize water loss in the plant.

9
New cards

Structure of Palisade cells

Columnar shape allows for tighter packing, enhancing light absorption.

10
New cards

Function of chloroplasts in palisade cells

Conduct photosynthesis by absorbing sunlight.

11
New cards

Energy for growth (usage of sugar)

One of the primary uses of sugar produced in plants.

12
New cards

Building cell structures (usage of sugar)

Sugar is essential for constructing cell walls in plants.

13
New cards

Excess sugar storage

Excess sugar is stored and converted into starch in the plant.

14
New cards

Photosynthesis

The process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of sugar.

15
New cards

Light absorption in leaves

Enhanced by palisade cells due to their structure and chloroplast content.

16
New cards

Function of air spaces in leaves

Allow for effective gas exchange during photosynthesis.

17
New cards

Stomata's role in water regulation

Helps to control the loss of water vapor from the leaf.

18
New cards

Chloroplasts

Organelles in plant cells responsible for photosynthesis.

19
New cards

Columnar structure of palisade cells

Optimizes light absorption by being tightly packed.

20
New cards

Role of the waxy cuticle

Protects the leaf while allowing light penetration.

21
New cards

Carbon dioxide diffusion

Essential for photosynthesis, occurring in the spongy layer of the leaf.

22
New cards

Starch

Storage form of excess sugar in plants.

23
New cards

Photosynthesis efficiency

Maximized by the structural adaptations of the leaf.

24
New cards

Gaseous exchange

The process involving the intake of carbon dioxide and release of oxygen through stomata.

25
New cards

Leaf structure importance

Determines efficiency of photosynthesis and gas exchange.

26
New cards

Light penetration in leaves

Facilitated by the transparent waxy cuticle.

27
New cards

Photosynthesis byproducts

Oxygen and glucose produced during the process.

28
New cards

Factors affecting photosynthesis rate

Light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration, and temperature.

29
New cards

Leaf adaptations for photosynthesis

Include a thin structure, large surface area, and specialized cells.

30
New cards

Water loss control in plants

Managed through the opening and closing of stomata.

31
New cards

Gas exchange in leaves

Occurs mainly through stomata, allowing for efficient photosynthesis.

32
New cards

Palisade layer density

High density of chloroplasts enhances light capture.

33
New cards

Photosynthesis by daylight

Crucial for plant growth and energy storage.

34
New cards

Structure and function of spongy mesophyll

Adapted for gas exchange with plenty of air spaces.

35
New cards

Roles of leaves in plants

Photosynthesis, transpiration, and gas exchange.

36
New cards

Importance of leaf architecture

Optimized for maximum efficiency in photosynthesis.

37
New cards

Plant growth energy source

Mainly derived from sugars produced during photosynthesis.
