photosynthesis stops at night

rate of photosynthesis is great

Leaf adaptations for Photosynthesis

might be converted back to glucose

transported to other parts of the plant

to form amino acids in leaves

for storage

Used in cellular respiration

Guard cells cover light to chemical energy

Water potential is lowered

Guard cells have thicker wall on one side of the cell

potassium ions diffuse out

water potential in guard cells increase

guard cells become flaccid and atoms release

Gives plants its green color

Pigment in plants that absorb sunlight

light dependent stage

light independent stage

the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize nutrients from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a by-product.
