Photosynthesis Review
A series of chemical reactions that produces
glucose for plants
Photosynthesis
The transport tubes that move water from the
roots all the way to the leaves
Xylem
The main sugar produced in photosynthesis
Glucose
The gas taken in and used in photosynthesis
Carbon Dioxide
The gas produced through the reactions of
photosynthesis
Oxygen
The parts of the plant that absorb the light
Pigments
“Mouths” or pores on the bottom of the leaves
that allow carbon dioxide into the leaf
Stomata
The cell structure that makes plants “hard”
Cell Wall
The cell structure that carries out
photosynthesis
Chloroplast
Is water used or produced in photosynthesis?
Used
Plants get their mass (which is mostly sugars)
from what reactant of photosynthesis?
Carbon Dioxide Gas
How do plants use glucose?
For building material (cell wall) or
energy
If a plant absorbs a color of light, is it using the
light or not using the light?
Uses
If we see a plant as green, it is reflecting
_______ light
Green
If a color of light is reflected, the plant will
Not use that color of light
A red plant (use your imagination) will reflect
what color of light?
Red
When performing the leaf chromatography, we
were looking at what?
The Pigments
If there is more light available, the rate of
photosynthesis will
Increase
If the level of carbon dioxide decreases, the rate
of photosynthesis will
Decrease
