1 of 11
What is the word equation for Photosynthesis?
Carbon Dioxide + Water > Glucose and Oxygen
2 of 11
Describe the Structure of a leaf
Waxy Cuticle, Upper epidermis, palisade cells,spongy mesophyll,lower epidermis,guard cells,stomata.
3 of 11
Name 3 limiting factors
Light Intensity, Temperature, CO2 Concentration
4 of 11
How is a leaf adapted to carry ot its function?
wide and flat, thin, stomata, xylem & phloem
5 of 11
What does the waxy cuticle do?
a layer of wax that coats the leaf to prevent water loss, it is also transparent to let the light into the cells below.
6 of 11
What do the Xylem & Phloem do?
Tubes that carry water and minerals into the leaf
7 of 11
What do the stomata do?
They are holes on the underside of the leaf (guard cells protect them) that let gases in and out.
8 of 11
What do the Epidermis' do?
They are a protective layer of cells and they are transparent to let the light through.
9 of 11
What do the palisade cells do?
Where majority of the photosynthesis happens.
10 of 11
What does the spongy mesophyll do?
A spongy layer with lots of space to let gases diffuse.
