Advanced Photosynthesis, Transpiration and Stomata Practice

Front

In what part of the plant does photosynthesis occur?

Back

Photosynthesis occurs primarily in the leaf of the plant.

Front

What process do plants use to make their own food from the sun's energy, carbon dioxide, and water?

Back

The process is called Photosynthesis.

Front

What are organisms that collect energy from the sun and turn it into organic compounds called?

Back

These organisms are called Autotrophs.

Front

Which form of energy is produced during cellular respiration that is usable by cells?

Back

The usable form of energy produced is ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate).

Front

What are stomata?

Back

Stomata are small openings located in the leaf that allow carbon dioxide to enter and oxygen to exit.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that captures sunlight for photosynthesis.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

The equation for photosynthesis is: 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What is transpiration in plants?

Back

Transpiration is the process by which water vapor is released from the plant into the atmosphere through stomata.

Front

How do plants absorb water?

Back

Plants absorb water through their roots from the soil.

Front

What is the significance of ATP in cellular processes?

Back

ATP serves as the main energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various cellular activities.
