Photosynthesis
Across
- 1. The name given to the middle of a leaf (there are two regions within this)
- 4. Process by which water is absorbed into plant roots
- 5. Waterproof layer surrounding a leaf
- 9. Mineral ion needed for the production of chlorophyll
- 12. Carbohydrate made from glucose that cell walls are made from
- 15. Storage molecule made from glucose found in plants
- 17. The gas found in bubbles from pond weed
- 18. This is large in leaves, to help catch as much light energy as possible
- 19. Mineral ion needed for the production of amino acids
- 22. The rate of photosynthesis is low in cold temperatures due to these
- 23. Waste gas from photosynthesis that is excreted by plants
- 25. pores in the underside of plant leaves
- 26. process by which Carbon Dioxide enters plant leaves
Down
- 2. The upper ___________ is transparent
- 3. Solution used to detect the presence of STARCH!!!
- 5. Reactant of photosynthesis that is absorbed through the roots
- 6. Layer of a leaf that contains many chloroplasts for photosynthesis
- 7. Sugar made in photosynthesis - contains chemical energy
- 8. Process by which mineral ions are absorbed into plant roots
- 10. A more accurate way of measuring the volume of oxygen given off by pond weed
- 11. The number of O2, CO2 and H2O molecules in a balanced equation of photosynthesis
- 12. The site of photosynthesis
- 13. The energy that is converted into chemical energy in Photosynthesis
- 14. Gaseous reactant of photosynthesis.
- 16. Plants that are deficient in MAGNESIUM will be this colour
- 20. Reaction that occurs in plants during the day and night
- 21. Layer of MESOPHYLL that contains air spaces
- 24. These factors prevent the rate of photosynthesis from increasing
