What happens during photosynthesis?
• Carbon dioxide enters the leaf
through holes called stomata. It is
a tiny opening or pore, found
mostly on the undersurface of a
plant leaf, and used for gas
exchange.
11
Stomata and Guard Cells
•They are located on the underside
of the leaves.
•In the presence of sunlight, the
guard cells swell and this causes
the stoma to open up.
•CO2 gas moves into the leaf and
water vapor diffuses from the leaf.
•In dark conditions, the guard cells
do not swell and the stoma remain
closed and photosynthesis does
not take place.
12
What happens during photosynthesis?
• Water is brought up through the roots
to the leaves
• Some of the Glucose is used right
away by the plant for energy; some is
stored as starch; and some is built
into plant tissue.
• Oxygen is released into the
environment.
13
Factors Influencing Photosynthesis
1.Temperature
It should be between 0° – 35° C due to
the need for enzyme activity.
2.Light Intensity
Some plants need more light.
3.Water Availability
Some plants need more water.
14
Regents Practice Question #3
In some land plants, guard cells are found only on the lower
surfaces of the leaves. In some water plants, guard cells are
found only on the upper surfaces of the leaves.
Explain how guard cells in both land and water plants help
maintain homeostasis. In your answer be sure to:
• identify one function regulated by the guard cells in leaves [1]
• explain how guard cells carry out this function [1]
• give one possible evolutionary advantage of the position of the
guard cells on the leaves of land plants [1]
15
Regents Practice Question #3 (Answers)
•Control the entrance of gases into and out of the
leaves of the plant.
•Depending on the amount of light present, the
guard cells will swell or contract causing the
stomata to either open or close.
•If the guard cells were located on top of the
leaves they would remain open most of the time
and the plant might dehydrate because the water
vapor would constantly be leaving the plant.

Regents Practice Question #4
A student performed an experiment to demonstrate that a plant needs
chlorophyll for photosynthesis. He used plants that had green leaves
with white areas. After exposing the plants to sunlight, he removed a
leaf from each plant and processed the leaves to remove the
chlorophyll. He then tested each leaf for the presence of starch. Starch
was found in the area of the leaf that was green, and no starch was
found in the area of the leaf that was white. He concluded that
chlorophyll is necessary for photosynthesis.
Which statement represents an assumption the student had to
make in order to draw this conclusion?
(1) Starch is synthesized from the glucose produced in the green areas
of the leaf.
(2) Starch is converted to chlorophyll in the green areas of the leaf.
(3) The white areas of the leaf do not have cells.
(4) The green areas of the leaf are heterotrophic

Regents Practice Question 5 & 6
A small water plant (elodea) was placed in bright sunlight for five hours as indicated
below. Bubbles of oxygen gas were observed being released from the plant.
Since oxygen gas is being released, it can be inferred that the plant is
(1) producing glucose
(2) making protein
(3) releasing energy from water
(4) carrying on active transport
What substance did the plant most likely absorb from the water for the process that
produces the oxygen gas?
(1) dissolved nitrogen
(2) carbon dioxide
(3) an enzyme
19
(4) a hormone

What is Cellular Respiration?
• It is a process that is opposite to the process of
photosynthesis.
• Photosynthesis is a process that stores up
energy and cellular respiration is a process that
allows that stored up energy to be released for
use by the cells
• The release of chemical energy for use by cells
is called cellular respiration.
25
What is the chemical equation
for cellular respiration?
The chemical equation for Cellular Respiration is:
C6H12O6 + 6O2
6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP Energy
Glucose
Carbon Water
Dioxide
Oxygen

27
When and where does Cellular Respiration Occur?
•All Eukaryotic cells and most Prokaryotic Cells.
•24 hours a day, 7days a week, 365 days a year
•In other words, it is going on constantly
because cells are alive and have a constant
need for energy.
28
What is ATP Energy ?
•A Glucose molecule has too much energy for a cell
to release and use all at one time.
(Think of it as a $100 bill)
•Glucose actually gets broken down into a much
smaller molecule called ATP.
(Think of ATP as a $1 bill)
•One glucose molecule breaks down into about 90
ATP molecules.
•ATP is the chemical fuel that a cell is able to
handle, it is called Adenosine Triphosphate.
