Question

Energy flow in plants -- concept map plants are best known for their ability to perform photosynthesis, the process by which light energy is converted to chemical energy in the form of sugars. but plants don't just make sugars; they use them, too. like animals, plants must break sugars down to fuel cellular work. in this activity, you will complete a concept map showing the interrelatedness of sugar production and sugar breakdown in a plant cell. part a - photosynthesis and respiration in plants drag the labels from the left to their correct locations in the concept map on the right. not all labels will be used.

-photosynthesis (b)

-chloroplast (c)

-sugar (d)

-chlorophyll (e)

-carbon dioxide (f)

-cellular respiration (g)

-mitochondria (h)

Explanation:

Answer 2

As living organisms, plants need energy to survive. However, as autotrophs these organisms are able to obtain energy through photosynthesis. Factors that are needed are water, CO2 and sunlight.

The surface area of the leaf influences its performance to photosynthesis through the amount of light captured by it which is needed for photosynthesis to occur. As well chlorophyll which enables the leaf to absorb light and be processed. Lastly, stomata which is responsible for carbon dioxide and gas exchange.
