Plant nutrition
Across
- 2. splitting water in the presence of light to form oxygen gas and hydrogen ions
- 5. transports water and mineral ions to the leaf
- 6. excess glucose is converted to this for storage in a plant cell
- 8. the reaction whereby carbon dioxide and hydrogen is converted to glucose
- 9. green pigment that absorbs light energy
Down
- 1. transports sucrose and amino acids away from the leaf
- 3. stacks of these in a chloroplast are called grana
- 4. There are two types in a leaf: spongy and palisade
- 6. a fluid matrix that surround the grana in a chloroplast
- 7. these need to open to allow carbon dioxide to enter the leaf for photosynthesis
