Plant Growth Lab (Elephants Lesson 8)

Front

What gas is released by plants from the process of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen is released by plants during photosynthesis.

Front

As light intensity increases, what happens to the rate of photosynthesis?

Back

The rate of photosynthesis increases then stays steady as light intensity increases.

Front

What is wrong with the graph if it lacks an axis label?

Back

A missing axis label can lead to misinterpretation of the data presented in the graph.

Front

What part of the seed provides food until the plant can make its own?

Back

The cotyledon provides food to the developing plant until it can photosynthesize.

Front

What is the tiny, undeveloped plant found in the seed?

Back

The embryo is the baby plant found within the seed.

Front

Define photosynthesis.

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What role does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the pigment that absorbs sunlight, allowing plants to convert light energy into chemical energy.

Front

Explain the importance of light in photosynthesis.

Back

Light is essential for photosynthesis as it provides the energy needed for plants to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the function of the seed coat?

Back

The seed coat protects the seed from physical damage and prevents water loss.

Front

What is the difference between a seedling and an embryo?

Back

A seedling is a young plant that has developed from a seed, while an embryo is the undeveloped plant within the seed.
