3. mark scheme Xylem and Phloem
Plants transport _water____ and minerals in the xylem and sugars in the xylem______.
Xylem tubes are made from long, dead _cells____. It forms a vessel with a hollow centre also known as a lumen______.
Phloem transports _sugars from the leaf to other parts of the plant where it is used immediately or stored for later use.
Phloem are made from cells that are elongated, thin walled and unlike xylem are _alive. The end walls of phloem have many small pores these walls are called sieve plates
The photosynthesis equation:
light energy
Carbon dioxide + Water Oxygen + Glucose
Chlororphyll
The leaf
Photosynthesis takes place in _palisade cells in the leaf. These cells contain chloroplasts_____ which contain chlorophyll a green pigment that traps sunlight.
What is photosynthesis?
Process carried out by green plants where co2, water and light energy are used to make glucose and oxygen
You can check a plant is photosynthesising by checking for starch. This is done using _iodine_, if starch is present the leaf will go purple/black

4. B2 REVISION – CHAPTER 2 – Photosynthesis
What is the equation for photosynthesis?
Where in the plant does it occur?
Any green part but mainly the leaves.
Give five ways plants use glucose.
1. Aerobic respiration
2. Making cellulose for cell walls
3. Making proteins
4. Stored as fats and oils
5. Stored as starch
Use a diagram to describe what transpiration is
Describe each graph
Initially as light intensity increases the rate of
photosynthesis increases rapidly up until a certain point then levels off.
Initially as carbon dioxide levels increase the rate of photosynthesis increases rapidly up until a certain point then levels off. 2. 3.
3. As temperature increases the rate of photosynthesis increases rapidly up until a certain point then falls rapidly.

chloroplast
You can check a plant is photosynthesising by checking for starch. This is done using _iodine_, if starch is present the leaf will go purple/black
The roots
What is the role of the roots of the plant? Absorb water and mineral ions
The roots of the plant are covered in root hair cells.
How are these cells adapted for their job? Large surface area to absorb more water and minerals,
Draw a root hair cell below:
What plant do we use to check the rate of photosynthesis?
_pondweed
What factors effects the rate of photosynthesis? _temperature
CO2 concentration
Light levels_
What gas is collected?
_Oxygen
The more bubbles of Oxygen the greater the rate of photosynthesis
What would happen if the light source was moved closer to the plant? Increased photosynthesis therefore more oxygen
