Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis produces glucose using sunlight
Produces glucose for plants food
Happens in the leafs of all green plants
Happens in the chloroplasts- absorb sunlight and produce oxygen
Equations
Carbon dioxide+water----> glucose+oxygen
6CO2+6H2O-----> C6H12O6 +6O2
Converts light energy to chemical energy
Aneroid Respiration
Leaves are adapted for efficient photosynthesis
Large surface area exposed to light
Most of the chloroplasts are in the PALISADE LAYER
The upper epidermis is transparent
Leaves have a network of vascular bundles
Deliver water and nutrients to the leaf
The WAXY CUTICLE helps reduce water loss
Leaves are designed for making food by photosynthesis
Mesophyll
Middle of the leaf
Palisade mesophyll
Their chloroplasts absorb most of the light
Spongy mesophyll
Circulate the air and exchange gases
Stoma
Allows movement of gases
