Photosynthesis and Respiration Unit: Plant Science
Five plant processes • Photosynthesis • Respiration • Water Absorption • Translocation • Transpiration
Movement of Nutrients and Water • Transpiration • Translocation • Absorption
Movement of water and nutrients • Transpiration • Loss of water by evaporation through the leaf surface • Occurs when the stoma open to take in CO2
Movement of water and nutrients 2. Translocation a. movement of water and organic compounds within the plant
Movement of water and nutrients 3. Absorption a. nutrients absorbed through root hairs b. Osmosis occurs by diffusion c. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from high concentration to low concentration
Photosynthesis • Process through which green plants convert carbon dioxide and water in the presence of light into simple sugar
Plants use food for…. • Energy • Plant growth • Store food • Respiration

Plant Growth http://www.indiana.edu/~oso/animations/ginkgogrowth.html
Respiration • Breakdown of glucose • C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy • Releases Carbon dioxide and water into the air • Aerobic respiration- presence of oxygen • Anaerobic respiration- without oxygen
Air Quality • Plants release oxygen into the atmosphere • Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
