diffusion

(a)     Green plants make their own food during the process of photosynthesis

respiration
(1)

(b)     This process can be summarised by the equation:

 
mineral salts

carbon dioxide + water → glucose + light

oxygen
(1)
 
chlorophyll

(c)     The energy needed for this process is trapped for the plant by glucose

light
(1)

          Use the following words to fill in the gaps. You can use each word once or not at all.

carbon      chlorophyll      cytoplasm      light      nitrogen

oxygen       sound        starch        water

During photosynthesis __carbon__ dioxide and _water_

are converted into glucose and __oxygen__ . The energy needed to do

this is ___light___ energy which is trapped by a green pigment called

_____chlorophyll_______ .

The plant can change the glucose into _______starch_______ which is insoluble so

it can be stored.

(b)     Which part of a plant is adapted for photosynthesis?

_____leaves____________________
(1)

(c)     How do the two raw materials for photosynthesis get into the plant?

1. Water gets into the plant by the soil through the roots

2. Carbon dioxide gets into the plant by the leaves through the stomata
(2)
