photosynthesis

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
