Chlorine is a
green gas
is produced in
presence of
sunlight
Captures
sunlight during
Photosynthesis
Radiant energy
The source of most
light on Earth
Chlorophyll
is a green
pigment in
leaves
chlorophyll
Necessary for
glucose to
form
Energy source
for
photosynthesis
sunlight
Needs
sunlight to
form
Is made in
chloroplasts
Chloroplasts
are only in
plant cells
Absorbed by
chlorophyll in
chloroplasts
CO2 =
molecular
formula
Combines with water in the
presence of chlorophyll and
sunlight & makes glucose
Is exhaled by
humans and
animals
carbon
dioxide
Contributes to
global
warming
Greenhouse
gas
Open and
close for gas
exchange
Open for CO2
to enter leaf
stomata
Small gaps on
leaves
surfaces
Are necessary
for
photosynthesis
Enters through
stomata
combined with
H atoms to
make sugar
Open for O2 to
exit
Open for H2O
vapor to exit
leaf during
transpiration
H2 joins CO2
to form
glucose
Sun = 1 AU
from Earth
Is captured by producers and is
changed into chemical energy (sugar)
chlorophyll
sunlight
water
carbon
dioxide
Photosynthesis
producers
stomata
glucose
(sugar)
Product of
photosynthesis
Separates into
H2 and O
when
combined
with CO2,
chlorophyll
and sunlight
Make their
own food
during
photosynthesis
release H2O
vapor during
photosynthesis
O2 leaves leaf
through
stomata
H20 =
molecular
formula
water
Is a reactant
and product of
photosynthesis
(exits as
vapor)
Absorbed by
roots
Green plants
Cannot live
without air or
H2O
producers
Any
organisms that
make their
own food
roots
Release O2
during
photosynthesis
Take in
CO2during
photosynthesis
C6 H12 O6 =
molecular formula
Is a simple
sugar
Absorb water
for
photosynthesis
Absorb water
for
photosynthesis
Taproots &
fibrous
Chemical
energy made
& stored
glucose
(sugar)
Store glucose
& starch
roots
Taproots =
carrots;
Primary root,
longest
Provides
energy for all
organisms
All cells need
glucose
Can join
together to
make more
complex
carbohydrates
called starches
Rhizoids =
thread-like
hairs that
absorb H2O
Anchor plant
Fibrous =
grass; all roots
same length
