- Photosynthesis
- Basic Facts
- Reactants
- Water
- Carbon Dioxide
- Products
- Glucose
- Oxygen
- It is an endothermic reaction
- Needs energy from the environment
- Energy comes from sunlight
- Needs energy from the environment
- Reactants
- Uses of Glucose
- Lipids/oils
- Used for cell membranes
- Respiration
- Amino Acids
- Makes proteins
- Other Sugars
- Such as fructose in fruit
- Cellulose
- Strengthens cell walls
- To make starch
- Insoluble
- Used for respiration at night
- Lipids/oils
- Transpiration
- Carries water and minerals
- Water needed for photosynthesis
- Minerals needed for making proteins
- Water needed to keep cells turgid
- Cells can then support the plant
- Evaporation of water in the Summer keeps the plant cool
- Root hairs take in the water by the process of osmosis
- Water moves from cell to cell until it reaches the xylem vessels
- Water is sucked up through the vessels. It passes into the leaves through the leaf veins. Water evaporates from leaf cells and escapes through the stomata.
- Water moves from cell to cell until it reaches the xylem vessels
- Carries water and minerals
- Translocation
- The movement of substances around the plant.
