-
The physiological processes are
- photsynesis
- cell respiration
- translocation
- absorption
- transpiration
-
the photosynesis process is
the chlorophyll complex is the process by which plants manufacture the carbohydrates( and starches and sugars) they require to live and grow
-
this happens by...
green pigment chlorophyll in the presence of water, light, and carbon dioxide, chlorophyll captures light energy and chemically converts it carbohydrate, producing oxygen gas is a byproduct.
-
formula
water+light+ carbon dioxide in the presence of chlorophyll=carbohydrates+Oxygen gas
-
cellular respiration
- breaks down carbohydrates into energy
- requires carbohydrates and oxygen
-
cellular respiration formula is
carbohydrates+oxygen gas= energy+water+carbon dioxide gas
-
Does cellular respiration require light
false!
-
translocation
the movement of carbohydrates, minerals,and water through the plant
-
Source-to-sink
- movement of sugar in the phloem
- where sugars are taken from their site of manufacture or storage(source) to another storage site(sink)
-
absorption and foliar absorption
- foliar-absorb through the leaves
- primary absorbed through the roots
-
two processes of absorption
active absorption to transport to passive transport to transport
-
active absorption requires
Oxygen and energy required for the process
-
passive absorption requires
through process of osmosis where water moves through cell membranes
-
Transpiration is
opposite of absorption,involves loss of water,water liquid is released from a plant in the form of vapor from leave,stems,and flowers.
-
transpiration is affected by
- temperature
- humidity,
- and wind
-
increases transpiration..
high temperature, low humidity,wind
