Bio11 Lab Exam 3 Photosynthesis and Plant Structure and Function Student Name: 1. 2. 3. 4. What is photosynthesis? What is the chemical equation for it? What are the products of photosynthesis used for? Where are they stored? What organisms carry out photosynthesis? What is the role of chlorophyll in the chloroplasts? Why does a leaf cell need chloroplasts?

5. Why are the leaves of many plants green? Why do some plants leaves turn red, orange and yellow before they fall off the autumn? 6. What kind of factors affect the rate of sugar and oxygen production in photosynthesis? What factors increase the rate of photosynthesis? 7. Which part of a leaf is most active in absorbing light for photosynthesis? 8. What do stomata and guard cells do? 9. Based on the graphing you did this semester, you should be able to construct a graph given data and be able to label the graph in terms of INDEPENDENT VARIABLE and DEPENDENT VARIABLE 10. What is meant be the term optimum? 11.What is an Angiosperm? What is a monocot? A dicot? What features distinguish these two types of angiosperm plants? (Think leaf veins, root types, stem, root and leaf cross sections, and number of petals on flowers) 12. What are the plant tissue types and their functions? What is meristem? . 13. What wavelengths of light are most used in photosynthesis? which is the least useful wavelength of light for the plant? 14 What are the functions of. Root hairs, taproots, fibrous roots, and adventitious roots?

15. What is collenchyma, schlerenchyma, parenchyma and mesenchyma. What are their functions? 16. What is the function of xylem and phloem for vascukar plants.
17. Which structural feature of green plants allows for gas exchange to take place? 18. What cells control the opening and closing of a plant's stomata. 19. What is the function (s) of each of these plant structures? leaves stems roots flowers seeds 20. A germinated (sprouted) seedling of a plant is called a(n): A) embryo B) fruit C) cotyledon D) pith

21. What is the best answer for why there is no sugar or oxygen produced at 0 ml of water intake or with 0 % concentration of CO2 in a living houseplant? 1
