    Plants perform photosynthesis to produce glucose from carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight using chlorophyll. Photosynthesis occurs in the palisade cells of leaves. An experiment can show that parts of a leaf covered from sunlight will not produce starch, as evidenced by a lack of color change when iodine is applied. Plants need water for photosynthesis, transport of minerals, fruit and leaf growth and cooling. Photosynthesis is the reverse of cellular respiration, with the inputs and outputs switched.

    Plants and Photosynthesis

    Things needed for photosynthesis


    SUNLIGHT
    Gives the plant energy

    24/02/2013

    CHLOROPHYLL
    The green stuff where the chemical reactions happen

    Travels up from the roots

    WATER

    CARBON DIOXIDE
    Enters the leaf through small holes on the underneath

    Photosynthesis equations
    Carbon dioxide + _____
    Sunlight Chlorophyll Sunlight

    24/02/2013

    glucose + _____

    6CO2

    + 6H20

    Chlorophyll

    C6H12O6 + 6O2

    The GLUCOSE produced by photosynthesis is used by the plant for _______ (through ____________). It is stored in the plant as ___________.

    Words respiration, starch, water, oxygen, energy

    Photosynthesis happens in the palisade cells in the leaf:

    Palisade cells

    Close up on a palisade cell:


    Cell wall Cell membrane Chloroplasts (containing chlorophyll) Nucleus Cytoplasm

    24/02/2013

    Large vacuole

    Method for starch test:


    1) Cover up part of the leaf using black card

    24/02/2013

    What effect does this have on the plant?


    2) Boil the leaf for a few minutes

    What does this do to the leaf?


    3) Soak the leaves in alcohol

    What effect does this have on the leaf?


    4) Dip the leaves in water

    What effect does this have?


    5) Drop some iodine onto the leaf

    What do you see? Draw and explain your results

    Results:

    24/02/2013

    The parts of the leaf which have been photosynthesising should have turned black. This shows that the part of the leaf which was covered up has not been photosynthesising, because it had no light. NO LIGHT, NO PHOTOSYNTHESIS, NO STARCH!

    Root hair cells


    Plant roots are made of root hair cells which have two features that help them to take in water and nutrients:

    24/02/2013

    Root hair cells

    Large surface area

    Thin cell membrane

    Using water
    Plants need water to do the following:
    Produce glucose

    24/02/2013

    Enable transport of minerals

    Form fruits

    Keep the leaves cool

    Enable growth

    Photosynthesis and Respiration


    In earlier work we looked at respiration:

    24/02/2013

    Glucose

    oxygen

    water

    carbon dioxide

    Photosynthesis is the reverse of respiration:

    Water

    carbon dioxide

    glucose

    + oxygen
