Equation for photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide + Water ----> Glucose + Oxygen
1 of 8
How does lower epidermis increase photosynthesis?
Allows carbon dioxide to come in and oxygen to go out
2 of 8
How do palisade cells increase photosynthesis?
Absorbs a lot of light energy
3 of 8
How do chloroplasts increase photosynthesis?
Allows some light to reach mesophyll cells
4 of 8
How do air spaces increase photosynthesis?
Allows gases to diffuse easily and reach all cells
5 of 8
How do mesophyll cells increase photosynthesis?
Increases surface area to volume ratio so large amounts of gases can enter and exit cells
6 of 8
How do leaf veins increase photosynthesis?
Brings water and minerals to the leaf. Takes away substances that it makes and delivers to other parts of the plant
7 of 8
How are roots adapted for maximum water uptake?
Large surface area and thin walls
