    Plants produce carbohydrates through photosynthesis using carbon dioxide, water, and light energy absorbed by chlorophyll. Leaves are structured to facilitate photosynthesis, with vascular tissue to transport water and glucose, stomata for gas exchange, and palisade mesophyll cells packed with chloroplasts to absorb light. Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

    PLANT NUTRITION

    How plants make carbohydrates by photosynthesis


    The structure of leaves
    How plants use the glucose they produce in photosynthesis
    How to carry investigations into photosynthesis
    The factors that affect the rate of photosynthesis
    Why plants need nitrate and magnesium ions
    6.1Types of nutrition
    All living organisms need food to take some useful
    substances that is called nutrition
    All organisms feed on organic substances that have originally
    been made by plants
    Green plants make their own food (producer ).they use
    simple inorganic substances (water, minerals ,carbon dioxide
    and light .
    Plants build these substances into organic complex materials
    (carbohydrates ,lipids ,proteins and vitamins )
    6.2 Photosynthesis

    Photosynthesis is the process by which plants make


    carbohydrates from raw materials(carbon dioxide and water ),
    using energy from light.
    light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll - a green substance
    found in chloroplasts in green plant cells and algae
    absorbed light energy is used to convert carbon dioxide (from
    the air) and water (from the soil) into a sugar called glucose
    oxygen is released as a by-product
    The following equations summarise what happens
    in photosynthesis:
    Carbon dioxide+ water chlorophyll light glucose + oxygen
    6CO2+6H2O→chlorophyll light C6H12O6+6O2
    Some glucose is used for respiration, while some is
    converted into insoluble starch for storage..
    • 6.1 Give one example of an organic substance.
    • Sugar (glucose )
    • 6.2 Which inorganic substances does a plant use to make
    carbohydrates?
    • Carbon dioxide and water
    • 6.3 What is chlorophyll, and how does it help the plant?
    • chlorophyll - a green substance found in chloroplasts in green plant
    cells and algae. That absorbs sunlight
    Leaf structure

    • A leaf needs:
    A way to transport water to the leaf, and glucose to other parts of the
    plant
    A way to exchange carbon dioxide and oxygen
    The ability to absorb light energy efficiently
    • Transport
    • Xylem tissue delivers water from the roots to the leaf, and phloem tissue
    transports glucose away from the leaf. These tissues form vascular
    bundles in the plant.
    • Gas exchange
    • When the plant is photosynthesizing during the day, these features allow
    carbon dioxide to diffuse into the spongy mesophyll cells, and oxygen to
    diffuse out of it
    • o get to the spongy mesophyll cells inside the leaf, gases diffuse through
    small pores called stomata. They also open or close to control the loss of
    water from leaf by the process of transpiration.

    Absorbing light energy


    Light absorption happens in the palisade mesophyll tissue of the leaf.
    Palisade cells are column shaped and packed with many chloroplasts.
    They are arranged closely together so that a lot of light energy can be
    absorbed.(chlorophyll )
