Plant System
Parts of a Plant
Roots
Anchor the plant firmly into the soil
Absorbs water and mineral salts from soil
Stem
Holds up plant from ground
Transports water, mineral salts and food from place to place within the plant
Leaf
Has chlorophyll to capture sunlight to make food
Allow exchange of carbon dioxide gas and oxygen gas (stomata)
Fruit
Protects the seeds
Flower
Attract animals to help in reproducing fruits and seeds
Photosynthesis
Variables needed
Carbon Dioxide
To enter the leaf during gaseous exchange
Water
Absorbed by the roots so the leaves can make food
Chlorophyll
Traps energy from sunlight
Sunlight
To be absorbed by the leaf
Process
Carbon dioxide + Water -> Glucose + Oxygen
Exchange of Gases
Stomata
Carbon dioxide enters the leaf
Oxygen leaves the leaf
Starch Test
Results
Have Starch
Photosynthesis takes place
No Starch
Photosynthesis does not take place
