EHHINOOPSSSTTY

is the process of converting light

energy into chemical energy
 AEIINOPRRST
A light-dependent process in some
plants resulting in the oxidization
of glycolic acid and release carbon
dioxide under some environmental
conditions
YRPOOLLLHHC
A green substance in plants that
makes it possible for them to
make food from carbon dioxide
and water
 ACDEG LLRU
One of the two crescent-shaped
epidermal cells that border and
control the opening and closing of
the stomata.
 AAMOSTT
Opening in the epidermis of a
plant organ (as a leaf) through
which gaseous exchange takes
place
 AGRSU
End product of photosynthesis
Photosynthesi
s
Photosynthesis
• an essential process because human
and animals depends on plant for
nourishment, shelter, and medicine.
• it comes from the Greek word phos,
which means light, and synthesis
which means putting together.
• Plants and other photosynthetic
organisms contains chlorophyll
that traps light energy from the sun
and converts is into chemical energy
stored in sugar (glucose) and other
organic molecules.
• Chlorophyll is a green pigment in
plants that is found in chloroplast.
• The chloroplast of plants use a
process called photosynthesis.
• Plants get the raw materials from
soil, the air and the sun.
• When it rains, water gets absorbed
into the ground. Plants take in water
along with minerals from soil
through its roots.
• Chlorophyll traps light from the sun
and carbon dioxide through the
stomata.
• It is in the leaves of the plant where
photosynthesis takes place.
Internal Structure of Leaf
• Cuticle – this is a waxy substance
covering the upper epidermis and
protects the leaf
• from dehydration.
• Upper Epidermis – the outer layer
that protects the leaf.
• Palisade Mesophyll Cell – The cells
that contains chloroplasts
• Chloroplasts – cell organelle that
contains chlorophyll
• Xylem – Vascular tube carrying
water throughout the plant
• Phloem – Vascular tube carrying
dissolved sugar molecules
throughout the plant
• Guard cell – one of the two
crescent-shaped epidermal cells that
open and close a plant stomata
• Stomata – openings in the
epidermis of a plant where gas
exchange occurs
