Photosynthesis,Respiration,And Transpiration

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy, usually from the sun, into chemical energy in the form of glucose (food) using carbon dioxide and water.

What are the requirements for respiration?

Back

The requirements for respiration are oxygen gas and simple sugars (glucose).

Front

What is transpiration?

Back

Transpiration is the process by which water vapor is released from the plant's leaves into the atmosphere.

Front

Why is transpiration important for plants?

Back

Transpiration helps in nutrient uptake, cooling the plant, and maintaining the flow of water and minerals from the roots to the leaves.
