Study Notes
Photosynthesis
- Carbon dioxide, water, and light energy are converted into glucose and oxygen, producing food for plants and oxygen as a byproduct.
- Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, which is essential for the process of photosynthesis to occur.
Transpiration
- Transpiration is the process of evaporation of water from plant leaves, which helps to draw water and nutrients up from the roots.
- This process creates a negative pressure that pulls water and dissolved nutrients up from the roots to the leaves.
Reproduction
- Sexual reproduction in plants involves the formation of seeds after pollination and fertilization.
- Asexual reproduction in plants involves the growth of new plants from parts of the parent plant, such as runners or tubers.
- Strawberries reproduce asexually through runners, which are long stems that grow horizontally and form new plants at the nodes.
Plant Structure
- Roots have three main functions: absorbing water and nutrients, anchoring the plant, and storing food.
- Leaves are the main site of photosynthesis, capturing sunlight and converting it into energy for the plant.
