Plant Structure and
Photosynthesis
- Plants are made up of:
- Organs
- Stems
- Roots
- Leaves
- For example,
Leaves are made
up of:
- Mesophyll Tissues
- Where Photosynthesis
in the plant occurs
- Xylem and Phloem
- Transports Water, Mineral ions
and Sucrose around the plant
- Epidermal Tissues
- Covers the whole plant
- Plants Cell are organised into
tissues and organ too
- This is the equation for Photosynthesis
- Photosynthesis
- Photosynthesis produces Glucose
for the plant to feed
- Produces Glucose using Sunlight
- Happens inside the
choroplasts
- Contains green
substance, Chlorophyll,
which absorbs Sunligh
- Uses the energy to convert
Carbon dioxde (from the air)
and Water (from the soil) into
Glucose
- Oxygen is an by-product
- Happen in the leaves of all
green plants
- This is the main job for
the leaves to do
- A cross-section of a leaf
