Chapter 7, Problem 1FIB
Summary Introduction
Introduction: Photosynthesis is the process of generating high-energy sugar molecules and oxygen from water and carbon dioxide in the presence of sunlight. This process takes place in leaves where the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen occurs in a plant.

- What is the major trade-off plants face when they undergo photosynthesis? When they open their stomata to let in oxygen, they can lose water. When they open their stomata to release oxygen, they can lose water. When they open their stomata to let in carbon dioxide, they can lose water. When they open their stomata to let in water, they can lose carbon dioxide.arrow_forwardWhat are the flaws/is wrong ? Plant cells have a few features that animal cells do not have. They have a cell wall that provides support to the cell and gives it shape. They also can have chloroplasts which are the site photosynthesis. Like animals, plants have specialized tissue that perform specific functions. Xylem transports water from shoots to roots. Phloem transports sugars from leaves to the other parts of the plant. Ground tissue is used for food storage and photosynthesis. Dermal tissue is the outer layer that protects the plant. Meristematic tissue is the site of mitosis and therefore growth for a plant. Apical meristem is found at the tips of roots and shoots and allows them to produce flowers. Lateral meristem is found along the length of the plant and allows it to increase in width. Intercalary meristem is found in nodes along grasses and allows them to grow from the “base”, which is why grass continues to grow after it is cut. Plants have three organs: leaves, stems,…arrow_forwardPlant shoots include stems, leaves, and flowers. Monocot stems have their vascular bundles arranged in a ring pattern in the ground tissue. Eudicots have their leaf veins arranged in a parallel pattern. Photosynthesis in leaves takes place in the mesophyll layer Eudicots possess a large taproot.arrow_forward
- What is the name of the cellular structure where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur in plants? Stroma Thylakoid membrane Outer chloroplast membrane Stomataarrow_forwardIn a rainforest there are a wide variety of plants. Short plants have broad, flat leaves . Tall plants have small, narrow leaves. What is an advantage of short plants having broad , flat leaves ? to transport nutrients through the plant to prevent water loss from transpiration to obtain energy by breaking bonds in glucose to capture energy used for photosynthesisarrow_forwardIn which compartment of the plant cell do the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis take place? a. thylakoid b. stroma c. outer membrane d. mesophyllarrow_forward
- Consider the relationship between temperature and photosynthesis. As temperatures increase,gases such as CO2 diffuse faster. As a result, plant leaves will lose CO2 at a faster rate thannormal. If the amount of light reaching the leaf and the amount of water available are adequate,predict how this loss of gas will affect photosynthesis in the leaf.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is not an adaption that helps plantsresist gravity and/or dry conditions on land?a. xylemb. ligninc. cuticled. photosynthesisarrow_forwardWhen a photosystem absorbs light,_____ . a. sugar phosphates are produced b. electrons are transferred to ATP c.
