2. Photosynthesis is a process by which plants turn energy from the ____ into _______ or _______________.
sun
glucose
carbohydrates

3. The chlorophyll inside the chloroplast captures the _________ energy.
First, _______________ strikes the leaf, passes into the leaf, and hits a ______________ inside an individual cell.
light energy
chloroplast
The chlorophyll inside the chloroplast captures the _________ energy.
light

4. Some of the energy is used to split _______ (H20) into __________ and _________.
water
hydrogen
oxygen

5. The _________ is now a waste product and released back into the air.
oxygen

6. Carbon dioxide stomata
_____________
(CO2) enters the leaf through the _________ and passes into the chloroplast.
Carbon dioxide
stomata

7. Using more of the _____ energy, hydrogen (H) left from the water molecule combines with the carbon dioxide (CO2) to make _________ (C6H12O6).
light
glucose

8. The plant converts the glucose to sucrose, a simple ______ that is carried in the ________ to other plant parts.
sugar
phloem

9. Every plant cell needs sugar or it will _____.
die

10. Cellular Respiration

11. CELLULAR RESPIRATION Respiration is a process in which ______ is generated in cells. In respiration, glucose (a type of sugar) and oxygen are converted into carbon dioxide, water and ____ (adenosine triphosphate).
energy
ATP

12. Let’s compare photosynthesis and respiration
Let’s compare photosynthesis and respiration. _______________ is a process by which plants use light from the sun to make _______. After the photosynthesis happens, then the cells in the plant use cellular respiration to turn this ______ into _________ that the plant can actually use. Photosynthesis happens ________ respiration can.
Photosynthesis
food
food
energy
before

13. Both involve a type of organelle inside the cells, but photosynthesis takes place inside the ___________, which contain chlorophyll.
chloroplasts
Cellular respiration takes place inside the ______________, which are the organelles that are able to break down glucose.
mitochondria

14. In photosynthesis, the energy that is used comes from ________ which is converted into ________.
sunlight
glucose
In cellular respiration, _________ is used to create ____ (energy), which the plant needs to survive.
glucose
ATP

15. carbon dioxide oxygen oxygen Carbon dioxide
Photosynthesis takes ______________from the air, water and sunlight to create sugar. After this happens, ________ is released back into the air.
carbon dioxide
oxygen
Cellular respiration takes the sugars and combines them with _______ to release the energy as ATP. ______________ and water are released.
oxygen
Carbon dioxide

16. Transpiration

17. Transpiration is the loss of water vapor by plants through the _________.
stomata

18. Test to see how much a plant transpires
Test to see how much a plant transpires. Tie a bag over the stem and leaves of a plant. Wait 24 hours. What do you see?
