12/18 Thinking Critically About Photosynthesis

3. Aim #36: How are plants adapted to perform photosynthesis?

4. Let’s think… How are we adapted for heterotrophic nutrition?

5. BrainPop

6. Let’s Review: Where does photosynthesis happen?
Leaf

7. Cuticle Waxy covering of leaf Protection Prevents excess water loss

8. Stomates
Open and close to allow for movement of water vapor and gas exchange
Guard cells: Kidney-shaped cells around stomates
Regulate opening and closing by swelling with water when needed
Stomates

10. Palisade mesophyll Where photosynthesis occurs One or two cells thick
Lots of chloroplasts
Palisade mesophyll

11. Spongy mesophyll Lots of air spaces to allow for gas exchange

12. Let’s Review: Label the parts of the leaf below.
Cuticle
Keeps moisture
Palisade
Photosynthetic cells
Absorb light
Spongy layer
Photosynthetic cells
Allow gas passage

13. 2) How are materials transported?
Veins (Vascular Tissue)

14. Plant transport Veins: contain vascular tissue
Xylem: transports water and minerals
Up only
Phloem: transports nutrients
All directions

15. 3) What path does water takes through a plant?
Into roots
Through xylem
To leaves
Out through stomates when guard cells are open

16. 4) What are root hairs? 5) What is root pressure?
Increase surface area for greater absorption
5) What is root pressure?
Osmotic pressure in the xylem of a root

17. 6) What is capillary action?
Tendency of liquid to rise inside a narrow tube

18. 7) What is transpiration?
Evaporation of water off of leaves
Transpiration pull: chief process that moves water through xylem

19. 8) How does CO2 get inside the leaf?
GUARD CELLS OPEN STOMATES

20. Let’s think… Should the stomates always be open?
WATER
VAPOR

21. 9) What happens if they are always open?
IT WILTS

22. 10) When should the guard cells close the ________?
stomates
Dry Sunny day

23. 11) The stomates and guard cells help maintain _______ in homeostasis.
WATER
Dry Sunny day
Humid day

24. 12) When stomates are open they let in ________and let out _______.
CO2 O2

25. 13) Which illustration below demonstrates a leaf on a hot, humid day?
Why?
