Photosynthesis

Carried by an
animal

Eaten & excreted

Carried by the
wind

Thrown by
explosion

A flower, B
stem, C leaf, D
- roots

1 petal, 2
anther, 3 stigma,
4 ovary, 5 - sepal

Stamen (male
part of flower)

Carpel/pistil
(female part of
flower)

Less competition
for light, water,
nutrients etc

Chloroplast

Chlorophyll

Cross pollination

Hold the plant in

the soil & absorb
minerals

Petal colour,
scent, nectar

Stamens

Self pollination

Why do we boil
the leaf when
testing for
starch?

Why do we boil
the leaf in ethanol
when testing for
starch?

To soften the leaf,

break open the cells &
remove the waxy
surface

To remove the
green chlorophyll

What is osmosis?

Where does
osmosis occur?

Why do plants
transpire?

The diffusion of water

from a high concentration
to a low concentration
through a semi permeable
membrane

In the roots of a
plant

1. To keep plants cool

2. To keep nutrients
and water moving
through the plant

Iodine

What chemical do
plants store
glucose as?

Stem

Leaf

Starch

Chlorophyll

 No Brain Too Small

Water + CO2
Glucose + ?

Plants need
sunlight and what
in order to
complete
photosynthesis?

What are the

reproductive part
of a plant?

Blue/black

Oxygen
(photosynthesis)

Chlorophyll

Flower

How is the
presence of
starch in a leaf
evidence for
photosynthesis?

What are the two

gases that diffuse
into and out of a
leaf?

What is carbon
dioxide a byproduct of?

How does gases

move into and out
of the leaf?

Photosynthesis produces
glucose which plants store in
their leaves as starch. Therefore
the presence of starch is
evidence of photosynthesis.

Carbon dioxide &

oxygen

Photosynthesis

Via diffusion (moving

from high conc. to
low conc.)

What is this?

What are phloem

for?

This is a stomata
surrounded by two
bean-shaped guard
cells

Vein-like system
for transporting
glucose and starch

What is the job of

guard cells that
surround the
stomata on the
bottom of a leaf?
Stomata prevent
water loss by
opening and closing

What are xylem

for?

Gases entering &

exiting the leaf
via the stomata
