Plant anatomy and Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis occurs in:

• flower

• leaves

• stems

• roots

What are the reactants (input) in Photosynthesis?

• Sun, CO2, glucose

• glucose and oxygen

• sun, carbon dioxide, water

• water, glucose

How do humans get glucose so they can live?

• breathe it in

• photosynthesis

• eat food

• drink liquids

For photosynthesis, a plant needs water, sun, and...

• oxygen

• carbon dioxide

• glucose

• mitochondria

Darcy put three healthy plants in pots. She put them in three places. Each plant had good soil, air, and water. After three weeks, Darcy checked on the plants. Based on the results, where do you think Darcy put plant #2?

• in the dark shed

• under a tree

• on the back deck

• in the front yard

Photosynthesis is used to produce food for plants in the form of glucose. In the process, oxygen is released. As shown in the diagram, plants require water and carbon dioxide (from the air). What else is required for photosynthesis and what role does it play?

• Light is required to provide energy for photosynthesis.

• ATP is required as an energy source for photosynthesis.

• Glucose is required as an energy source for photosynthesis

• Oxygen is required to split water molecules in photosynthesis.

What is the green pigment that gives plants their color?

• photosynthesis

• phloem

• chlorophyll

• choloplast

What are the small openings in leaves called?

• xylem

• phloem

• producer

• stomata

What is the vascular tissue in the plant that brings water and minerals from the roots to the stem and leaves?

• xylem

• phloem

• stomata

• chloroplast

What is the vascular tissue that brings glucose down from the leaves to the rest of the plan?

• xylem

• phloem

• choloplast

• stomata
