Plant physiology

2. Respiration

3. Transpiration

6. carbon dioxide from the air

7. water from the soil

9. The green pigment, chlorophyll, that is found in the chloroplasts of these cells traps light energy

10. Creates energy in the form of carbohydrates that are stored in plant cells

11. This energy allows the plants to carry out metabolic functions such as growth and reproduction.

13. Energy is used in the process of building new tissues or growth of the plant.

14. The chemical process is called oxidation. It is similar to the burning of wood or coal to produce heat.

16. Photosynthesis

17. Respiration

20. Energy is stored

21. Occurs in some cells

22. Oxygen is released

23. Water is used

24. CO2 is used

26. Energy is released

27. Occurs in all cells

28. Oxygen is used

29. Water is produced

30. CO2 is produced

31. Occurs in light and dark Photosynthesis: Respiration:

33. Transpiration involves the use of about 90% of the water that enters the plant through the roots.

34. The other 10% of the water is used in chemical reactions and in plant tissues.

35. increase, transpiration increases. As humidity decreases, transpiration increases.

37. Cooling of plant parts through evaporation,

38. Movement of sugars and plant chemicals,

39. Maintenance of turgor pressure.
