photosynthesis definition
takes plsce in the chloroplasts. co2 and water react to produce glucose and oxygen
upper epidermis
allows light energy to pass through
waxy cuticle
seals water in the plant and water proofs it
xylem
transports water and minerals
phloem
transports dissolved minerals
stomata
exchange gases and eradicates excess water in the leaves
guard cells
open and close the stomats
palisade mesophyll
where the majority of photosynthesis takes place
spongy mesophyll
facilitates gas exchsange -the celld are covered in a thin layer of water which co2 diffuses into and oxygen diffuses out of
chlorophyll
absorb sunlight energy for photosynthesis
