  1. Plant structures What does a plant need for photosynthesis?

  2. light energy  6CO2 + 6H2O + + 6O2 C6H12O6 So what does a plant need for photosynthesis? • Bring In • light • CO2 • H2O • Let Out • O2 • Move Around • sugars leaves shoot roots

  3. vascular bundle (vein) xylem (water) phloem (sugar) cuticle epidermis palisades layer spongy layer epidermis stomate cuticle guardcells Leaf Structure

  4. xylem (water) stomate guardcells Transpiration O2 H2O CO2 • CO2 in • O2 out • water out • so it gets to leaves from roots O2 H2O CO2

  5. Transpiration • Water evaporates from the stomates in the leaves • pulls water up from roots • water molecules stick to each other • more water is pulled up tree from ground

  6. Function of Leaf Structures • Cuticle • waxy coating reduces water loss • Epidermis • skin protecting leaf tissues • Palisades layer • high concentration of chloroplasts • collecting sun’s energy • photosynthesis • making ATP & sugars • Spongy layer • air spaces • gas exchange • CO2 in for sugar production, remove waste O2

  7. Stomates & Guard Cells • Function of stomates • CO2 in • O2 out • H2O out • gets to leaves for photosynthesis • Function of guard cells • open & close stomates guard cell stomate

  8. Guard cells & Homeostasis • Homeostasis • keeping the internal environment of the plant balanced • Stomates open • let CO2 in • needed to make sugars • let H2O out • needed for photosynthesis • let O2 out • get rid of waste product • Stomates close • if too much H2O evaporating

  9. Xylem carry water up from roots

  10. Phloem: food-conducting cells • carry sugars around the plant wherever they are needed • new leaves • fruit & seeds • roots
