photosynthesis converts (1) __________ into (2) ____________ in the form of glucose?
( 1) light energy (2) chemical energy
what is used up in photosynthesis and what is produced?
Carbon Dioxide and Water are used up while Oxygen is produced
in order for leaf to function what does it have?
different types of cells within it that perform specific tasks for the leaf and therefore the whole plant
Epidermal Tissue Cells
cover top and bottom layers of leaf
Flattened cells
Create protective layer for leaf Covered by a waxy cuticle (less water loss)
have no Chloroplasts
are transparent to allow light to pass through
Palisade Tissue Cells
Found just beneath Epidermal Cells
Long and narrow cells (column-like)
Tightly packed layer
Main type of Photosynthetic cells in leaf exchange
Packed with Chloroplasts
Spongy Tissue Cells
Layers of cells beneath Palisade Cells
Round shape
Very loosely packed with many air spaces between them
contain Chloroplasts to carry out photosynthesis
Structure allows gas and water exchange with outside environment
what does the structure of spongy tissue cells allow?
gas and water exchange with the outside environment
Stomata and Guard Cells
Allow Carbon Dioxide to enter the underside of the leaf
Allow Oxygen and Water Vapour to exit the underside of the leaf
Surrounded by two guard cells that regulate how the Stomata open and close
the stomata is surrounded by?
Surrounded by two guard cells that regulate how the Stomata open and close
Vascular Tissue Cells
Form series of tubes allowing Water and Sugars to be transported in and out of leaf
Visible as Veins in a leaf
Made up of Xylem and Phloem Tissues
Xylem carries water and minerals from the roots to the leaves
Phloem carries sugars from the leaves to the rest of the plant
what do Xylem tissues do?
carries water and minerals from the roots to the leaves
what do phloem tissues do?
carries sugars from the leaves to the rest of the plant
the vascular tissues cells are made of of?
Xylem and Phloem tissues
what does the stomata do?
Allow Carbon Dioxide to enter the underside of the leaf and Oxygen and Water Vapour to exit the underside of the leaf
advantages of multicellular organisms
A larger size
A variety of specialized cells
An ability to thrive in broader range of environments
what's the organization of multicellular organisms
-Atoms -Molecules -Organelles -Cells -Tissues -Organs -Organ Systems -Organisms
what's the chemical equation for cellular respiration
C6H12O6+602 ---> 6H2O + 6CO2
what's the chemical equation for photosynthesis?
H2O + CO2 + light energy ---> C6H12O6 + 02
when does photosynthesis occur
at day because it needs sun energy
when does cellular respiration occur?
during night and at the day
how many tissue cells are there
there are 4 tissue cells: Epidermal, Palisade, spongy and vascular
what tissue cells contain chloroplasts?
palisade tissues, spongy tissue cells contain chloroplasts
what does the cuticle do?
prevent evaporation of water
what do the vascular tissue cells do?
the vascular tissues transport fluids throughout the plant
what does the stomata allow?
the stomata allows gases to enter and exit the leaf
what do the upper and lower epidermal tissues do?
they protect the top and bottom of the leaf
what two tissues help to carry out photosynthesis
palisade and spongy tissue help to carry out photosynthesis
