The Leaf and Photosynthesis The leafs main purpose is to carry out or support the process of photosynthesis Each tissue type (dermal, ground, and vascular), has a particular purpose and function that support this.
The Chloroplast • An organelle in plant cells where photosynthesis occurs. • Contains a green pigment called chlorophyll. • Easy to see because of green colour. • Found in ground tissue of leaves and sometimes in stems.
Photosynthesis • The process in which plants convert sunlight, water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose. • Light energy is absorbed, and converted into chemical energy that is stored in glucose molecules.
Movement of Chloroplasts in cells has given indirect evidence that cytoplasm behaves like a fluid. • This movement is called cytoplasmic streaming. • Allows for the speeding up of material distribution in cells. • Discovered by Robert Brown who also discovered the ____________
Gas Production in Cells • Two important reactions that produce gases as products in plants. • The first was photosynthesis, the second is in many ways the opposite. • The following reaction is used to obtain energy to fuel the cell’s activities.
Cellular Respiration • A set of reactions resulting with a release of energy. • Takes place in the mitochondria
These reactions produce the energy needed for the cell to carry out its life processes. • This reaction also occurs in animal cells. • Plant tissues respire at a much lower rate however. • In the dark, photosynthesis stops, but cellular respiration continues. • Studies done on these reactions tend to measure the amounts of gas reactant used or gas product formed.
