Palisade
________ at the top: More light absorption and more chance that light does hit the chlorophyll within the chloroplasts.
New cards
2
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.
New cards
3

________: Protects from water evaporation and other harmful factors while allowing light to enter.
New cards
4
Vascular bundle
________: Xylem, which transports water, and Phloem, which transports mineral ions.
New cards
5
Oxygen
________: Diffuses through the stomata to the outside, also used for aerobic respiration within the plant.

8
Water
________: Is gotten from the soil through the roots and principally through the xylem.
New cards
9
transparent epidermis
Thin and ________: More light entrance and further absorption.
New cards
10
Minerals
The ________ (inorganic substances) needed to produce nutrients and chlorophyll are actively absorbed by the root hair cells from the soil.
New cards
11
Spongy mesophyll
________: Facilitates diffusion of Carbon Dioxide and increases the surface area.
New cards
12
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.
New cards
13
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.
New cards
14

New cards
22
Vascular bundles
________: They are thick to provide further support.
New cards
23
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.
New cards
24
Spongy mesophyll
________: Provides surface area, required for diffusion.
