Process which uses sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce

START
sugars
Photosynthesis Gas required for photosynthesis and the result of respiration
Carbon dioxide Needed to adequate amounts for chemical processes
Water Holds the plant upright
Stem The movement of water through the plant (through xylem)
Will determine the speed of a chemical reactions (and hence growth)
Transpiration
is determined by this
Temperature Anchors the plant to the ground and absorbs nutrients / water
The process where the sugars produced by photosynthesis are
Root
broken-down to release energy
Without these plants do not have to complete for nutrients, space,
Respiration
water or sunlight
Absence of weeds The essential requirement for photosynthesis
Light Minerals dissolved in soil water which are required for plant growth
Cells within leaves which have wide gaps between them to help with
Nutrients gas exchange ( oxygen and carbon dioxide can move through the leaf
easily)
Vessel which carries water and dissolved minerals up from the roots
Spongy mesophyll
then through the rest of the plant
Xylem Gas produced by photosynthesis and required for photosynthesis
Top layer of a leaf which reduces water loss and can act as a
Oxygen
sunscreen
Cuticle Tubes which carry sugars (food) from leaves to the rest of the plant
When this is too high then fungal diseases can flourish, however it
Phloem
must be high for cuttings as they have no roots to absorb water
The cells on the bottom of the leaf which allow gases into and out of
Humidity
the leaf depending on their shape
The brick shaped cells in leaves which contain the most chlorophyll
Guard cells
(the pigment which absorbs sunlight for photosynthesis)
Palisade mesophyll Often controlled with chemicals (pesticides)
The plant structure which is considered the plants ‘food factory’
Pests and diseases
because this is where photosynthesis occurs
Leaf The top or end of the plant which is where growth occurs
The hole between the guard cells through which gases enter and exit
Apical bud
the leaf
Stomata The active growing area / region of the plant
