Term
|
Definition

|
|
Term
What do plants use ATP
(adenosine tri-phosphate) for? |
|
Definition
| ATP is made in plants when chlorophyll absorbs light energy. Plants use the chemical energy from ATP to make its own food in the form of glucose (simple sugar) |

Term
| Name the 5 steps in the Process of Photosynthesis... |
|
Definition
1. Water enters the plant through the roots
2. Water is broken down by the sun's energy into hydrogen and oxygen
3.Carbon Dioxide enters the leaf through tiny holes in the leaf's bottom called stomata.
4. Hydrogen and carbon dioxide combine into glucose, and extra oxygen is released into the air through the stomata.
5. Glucose is usually changed into starches for storage in the plant. |
