Study Notes
Plant Energy and Structure
- Plants obtain energy primarily through photosynthesis, a process that converts light energy from the sun into chemical energy.
- Roots are responsible for absorbing water and nutrients from the soil, anchoring the plant, and storing food.
- The leaves are the primary site for the exchange of gases (CO2 and O2) with the environment through tiny openings called stomata.
- Chlorophyll, a green pigment, plays a crucial role in photosynthesis by absorbing light energy.
- Chloroplasts, a type of organelle found in plant cells, are the site where photosynthesis takes place.
- The main function of stomata is to regulate gas exchange and water loss through transpiration, allowing plants to control their water balance and maintain cellular processes.
