1
New cards

Photosynthesis

metabolic reaction that produces glucose using sunlight in plants

2
New cards

Chlorophyll

green pigment that allows plants to trap sunlight

3
New cards

turgid

A cell full of water and swollen

4
New cards

flaccid

A cell that has lost water and gone limp

5
New cards

waxy cuticle

repels water to prevent the weight damaging the plant and prevent too much water getting into leaf

6
New cards

Upper epidermis

transparet - allows sunlight to reach palisade cells, contains few/no stomata

7
New cards

palisade mesophyll

packed with chloroplasts for photosynthesis

8
New cards

spongy mesophyll

air spaces enable gasses to diffuse in and out of cell (cells require less chloroplasts; further away from sun)

9
New cards

Lower epidermis

contains guard cells

10
New cards

Guard cells

control the opening and closing of the stomata

11
New cards

Stomata

small pores that allow gas exchange
