Study Notes
Photosynthesis in Plants
- Chloroplasts are the organelles primarily responsible for photosynthesis, containing chlorophyll which captures sunlight.
- Leaves are the main sites of photosynthesis, where gas exchange occurs through stomata.
Requirements for Photosynthesis
- Plants primarily need sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to perform photosynthesis, converting these inputs into glucose and oxygen.
Annual Plants
- A annual plant is one that completes its lifecycle in one year, growing, flowering, and dying within a single growing season.
Gymnosperms
- Gymnosperms are a group of plants known for having seeds that are not enclosed within an ovary, often referred to as "naked seeds."
