Topics 2.3 + 6.1 - Plant Tissues, Organs and Systems and Photosynthesis

Examples of plant tissues include:
- Epidermal tissue- which covers the plant
- Palisade Mesophyll- which carries out photosynthesis
- Spongy Mesophyll- has air spaces in order to facilitate gas diffusion
- Xylem and Phloem- which transport substances around the plant
Plant organs include the stem, the roots and the leaves
Photosynthesis is summarised by these equations:
- carbon dioxide + water (+ light energy) → glucose + oxygen
- 6 CO2 + 6 H2O (+light energy) → C6H12O6 + 6 O2
Light energy is absorbed by a…
