Lesson 11: Photosynthesis- nutrition in plants

Hi,

Here are some 31 colourful and cheerful powerpoint slides to zest up your revision of this topic. the concepts covered by these slides include:

• organisation of plant-cells, tissues, organs, systems and organism
• specialised cells, adaptation for their functions
  
• palisade cells-contain chloroplasts for photosynthesis
• root hair cells-have large surface area to volume ratio for quick absorption of water and dissolved mineral ions
• guard cells- bean shaped, have unevenly thickened wall for gaseous exchange with the environment
  
• pollen cells- sex cells for adaptation for pollination, used for sexual reproduction
• annotated plant cells
• mitochondria-site of cellular respiration
• chloroplast-site of photosynthesis
• plants are producers in the ecosystem- change sunlight energy into chemical energy aka glucose molecule
• glucose- a carbohydrate which the plant will use to change into proteins, fats and other forms of carbohydrates
• uses of glucose in plant-respiration, 80% efficiency in changing it to other froms and for storage
• cross section of leaf, annotated
• equation for photosynthesis, models to illustratae the synthesis from water and carbon dioxide
• short questions
