What role does the stem play in photosynthesis?
What role does the stem play in photosynthesis?
- Stems transport water from roots to leaves, crucial for photosynthesis. (correct)
- Stems produce glucose during photosynthesis.
- Stems absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
- Stems contain the chloroplasts that carry out photosynthesis.
The chemical formula $H_2O + CO_2 \ \xrightarrow{sunlight/Chloroplast} \ O_2 + C_6H_{12}O_6$ represents:

Study Notes
Photosynthesis
- Photosynthesis is a process where plants create glucose using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide.
- The purpose of photosynthesis is to create glucose.
- The main products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.
- The main reactants of photosynthesis are water and carbon dioxide and sunlight.
- This process occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells.
- Chlorophyll captures energy from the sunlight to help the process.
- Leaves are the site of most photosynthesis in plants.
- Stomata on leaves allow for the exchange of gases (carbon dioxide in and oxygen out).
- Roots take in water and nutrients.
- Stems transport water and nutrients from roots to leaves.
Plant Structures and Organelles
- Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, the pigment that captures sunlight.
- Leaves are the primary sites of photosynthesis.
- Roots absorb water and nutrients.
- Stems support the plant and transport materials.
- Cell walls provide support.
