Leaves are found all over the world, from the coldest places, to the hottest, even underwater. Leaves along with bountiful amounts of other parts of a plant such as the flower or flower buds, the shoot, leaf stalk, main root, stem, secondary root, root hairs are used to formulate most plants, but leaves are the powerhouse of most plants. Leaves are needed on all green plants, but not those who can 't get sunlight.
Leaves are used for photosynthesis which is a process by which sunlight is absorbed into the plant and uses chlorophyll to make food the plant can use from carbon dioxide, water, nutrients, and energy from sunlight. This process is called photosynthesis. During the process of photosynthesis, plants release oxygen into the air.
Photosynthesis leads to the creation of glucose for the plant and oxygen for non-plant biotic things such as animals and homo-sapiens. Which is great because of the respiration that comes from all biotic things.
Respiration occurs in all living cells creating energy. In homo-sapiens and animals, respiration is the intake or inhale of oxygen and disperse or release of carbon dioxide also known as CO2. Plants on the other hand, have respiration that takes in carbon dioxide and releases oxygen, making a cycle between plants and non-plant

Dorsiventral leaves orient themselves at an angle to the main axis and perpendicular to the direction of sunlight. Most dicots have dorsi-ventral leaves that are net-veined, including most trees, bushes, garden plants and wildflowers. While Isobilateral leaves orient themselves parallel to the main axis and parallel to the direction of sunlight. Most monocots possess parallel-veined isobilateral leaves, including grasses and grasslike plants, lilies, irises, amaryllises etc. These help people determine the type of plant they are dealing
It also had many broad leaves. my plants Broad leaves and dark color showed that a lot of photosynthesis happened in my plant. Additionally my
It also helps provide oxygen to the body. External respirations is when you breathe in through your lungs and carbon dioxide exhaled out. Internal respirations is what you inhales goes from the lungs back to the heart. 4. Describe eight signs and/or symptoms of the respiratory system.
+ ATP Although plants and animals have different methods of obtaining glucose, the cell respiration process occurs in both types of organisms. Many external factors in the environment may affect the organism's’ rate of respiration such as the temperature of the surrounding,
Carly Crabtree Period 4 Accelerated Biology 11/20/15 Photosynthesis in Greenhouses Farmers use their knowledge about photosynthesis to increase crop growth every year. Greenhouse conditions are more easily controlled, rather than the air outside. Changing certain variables in the process of photosynthesis can change the outcome of the crops. One variable that farmers change is the temperature.
Both photosynthesis and aerobic respiration are necessary processes in plants and provide energy. Aerobic respiration uses glucose (sugar) and oxygen to form carbon dioxide and energy while photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and water to form glucose and oxygen. Photosynthesis may only occur during the day time while aerobic respiration occurs all the time. Since an increase in carbon dioxide levels indicates an increase in aerobic respiration and a decrease in photosynthesis, we can measure the net exchange of carbon dioxide levels and determine whether more photosynthesis or aerobic respiration at a particular time has occurred.
Cellular respiration can be measured by the consumption of oxygen, the consumption of carbon dioxide, and the release of energy during cellular respiration. Within the experiment conducted, the relative volume of O2 consumed was measured into different temperatures within germinating and nongerminating peas, (DeStefano). Fluids and gas flow from regions of high-pressure to regions of low-pressure this carbon dioxide produced during cellular respiration will be removed by potassium hydroxide and will form a solid potassium carbonate. Due to the removal of carbon dioxide, the change in the volume of gas in the respirometer will be directly related to the amount of oxygen consumed. In this experiment using a respirometer, the scientists were able to measure the amount of oxygen being consumed in relation to how quickly the peas were respiring.
Photosynthesis/Scientific Method Worksheet 1. State and explain your pre-experience hypothesis: We were supposed to place (Elodea) in two tubes, which one should closer to a light source and the other with no light on it. The experience consisted in observe and count the amount of bubbles coming out from the plant in both tubes.
Plants produce oxygen, a gas that animals and other living creatures need. Animals and other living organisms produce CO2, a gas that plants need to make their own food. Without the discovery of carbon dioxide, humans would not know the essential need for it, the properties of it, and what it is capable of. Along with being essential to human life, carbon dioxide also has various other uses in today’s society. CO2 is used widely as a refrigerant for frozen foods, as well as used in fire extinguishers.
The process of photosynthesis is vital for the survival of most life on Earth. Without photosynthesis plant life would be unable to create its own food and sustain themselves causing them to die. Earth would lack the oxygen and energy that plant life provides. Producers are the main source of energy for living organisms because they can directly absorb light energy and turn it into chemical energy. Animals then eat the plants which give them a portion of that energy.
One of the focuses of this semester was the ability to identify biological processes that require energy and explain why they require energy. In the work I completed I demonstrated being able to accomplish this. This occurred in several different projects, including the cellular respiration lab involving the respiration rate of germinating seeds, the potato core lab and the photosynthesis lab. In these labs, we were able to identify the biological processes that required energy for the different processes to take place to allow germination to occur.
The walls of the alveoli actually share a membrane with the capillaries in which oxygen and carbon dioxide move freely between the respiratory system and the bloodstream. Oxygen molecules attach to red blood cells, which travel back to the heart. At the same time, the carbon dioxide molecules in the alveoli are blown out of the body with the next exhalation." (Dugdale, 2012) Ventilation is another fact because if this not happen our body will be full of carbon dioxide and the oxygen will be down. Many times when the people here ventilation they get confused and think that they are talking about respiration that is not correct, is correct say that ventilation is similar to breathing but no to respiration, they are different "Movements of the ribs, rib muscles and diaphragm allow air into and out of the lungs.
Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts; green organelles inside plant cells. The thylakoid inside Chloroplasts absorb the sunlight energy needed for photosynthesis. The pigment in the thylakoid absorbs light; however, plants reflect green light. This gives plants their color. If different colors of light are shown on spinach leaves and CO2 consumption is measured, then the spinach leaves given green light will consume the least amount of CO2 due to reduced photosynthesis activity.
photosynthesis and cellular respiration are extremely important in the cycle of energy to sustain life simply because nutrients would not metabolize in a productive manner. Both have numerous stages in which the process of energy occurs, and relationships with organelles located in the eukaryotic cell. Photosynthesis is a process by which green plant and other organism manufacture their food using sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water while cellular respiration is the oxidation of organic compounds that occurs within cells, producing energy for cellular processes. Photosynthesis occurs within organelles called chloroplasts. These organelles can absorb light, and are located inside of leaves.
Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are processes that help human beings live. The reactants in photosynthesis are carbon dioxide, water, and the sunlight’s energy. The products of these reactants are glucose and oxygen. Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts in only plant cells. This is when plants convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose by using the sun’s energy.
They also help water move from the soil to the atmosphere through a process called transpiration. Plants not only supply us with food, but with other provisions such as wood products, fibers, oils, resins, coal, and petroleum. They also provide us with raw material needed to make shelter, clothing, medicines, and fuels. It’s also a fact that one quarter of the medicines we use are derived from plants; and that 4 out of 5 people in this world rely on plants for primary health care. Importance of Plants Plants are everywhere.
