Plants making carbohydrates in their leaves by photosynthesis |
|
What are the products of photosynthesis? |
|
|
|
Food chains begin with a producer, which is normally a green plant. (FROM 2B) |
|
Where are plants found in the food chain? |
|
|
|
Green plants get their energy from the sun through photosynthesis. (FROM 2B) |
|
How do plants get their energy? |
|
|
|
'Photo' is from the Greek for 'light'. |
|
What does 'photo' mean? |
|
|
|
'Synthesis' is from the Greek for 'put together or combine'. |
|

|
|
Synthesis is the bonding together of small particles to form bigger particles. |
|
What happens to particles in synthesis? |
|
|
|
Decomposition is the splitting of large particles in smaller particles. |
|
What happens to the particles in decomposition? |
|
|
| T |
Most photosynthesis takes place in palisade cells. |
|
What types of cells does the most amount of photosynthesis happen? |
|
|
| W |
Palisade cells are adapted for photosynthesis by having lots of chloroplasts.
NB: Main thrust of lessons should be looking at cells. |
|
Where in a plant cell does photosynthesis take place? |
|
|
| D |
Cover leaves to later test for starch. |
