Palisade
________ at the top: More light absorption and more chance that light does hit the chlorophyll within the chloroplasts.
carbon dioxide
When the ________, sunlight, and water are unlimited, in a warm environment the limit for photosynthesis is the plants own capacity to absorb and react to them.
Wax cuticle
________: Protects from water evaporation and other harmful factors while allowing light to enter.
Vascular bundle
________: Xylem, which transports water, and Phloem, which transports mineral ions.
Oxygen
________: Diffuses through the stomata to the outside, also used for aerobic respiration within the plant.
Magnesium
________: Needed to produce chlorophyll.
Photosynthesis
________ is considered an endothermic reaction, ar it takes and uses energy from the environment.
Water
________: Is gotten from the soil through the roots and principally through the xylem.
transparent epidermis
Thin and ________: More light entrance and further absorption.
Minerals
The ________ (inorganic substances) needed to produce nutrients and chlorophyll are actively absorbed by the root hair cells from the soil.
Spongy mesophyll
________: Facilitates diffusion of Carbon Dioxide and increases the surface area.
Lower epidermis
________: Guard cells, absorb and lose water when opening or closing for gas flow, and Stomata, are in charge of gas exchange, and some water evaporation.
net gas exchange
The ________ can be tested on an aquatic plant with the hydrogen carbonate indicator, which works due to the acidity of Carbon Dioxide in water, which shows the concentration of Carbon DIoxide.
Veins network
________: Transportation of water and glucose.
Nitrates
________: Needed to produce amino acids.
Upper epidermis
________: Allows entrance of light.
Glucose
________: Used for the different cellular processes like respiration.
Amount of chlorophyll
________: The level of chlorophyll within an individual plant depends on:
bonds of glucose
Light: Transformed into chemical energy in the ________.
Carbon dioxide
________: Gathered through diffusion across the stomata inside the leaf.
Wax cuticle
________: Avoid water evaporation with light.
Vascular bundles
________: They are thick to provide further support.
Photosynthesis
________ occurs in leaves, more specifically in chloroplasts, within chloroplast there is chlorophyll, a pigment that absorbs blue and red light and reflects green light.
Spongy mesophyll
________: Provides surface area, required for diffusion.
Word equation
Water + Carbon dioxide → Glucose + Oxygen
Balanced chemical equation
6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2
