Name:________________ How do Plants get all that Energy? Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize food (in the form of glucose) and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water. 1. __________________ + water + ___________ Glucose + ___________ Glucose is a simple sugar and is the most important form of energy to all life, plants and animals. So when a plant is in sunlight it is actively taking Carbon dioxide out of the air and combining it with water molecules to make sugar molecules. 2. What molecule in the air is considered a greenhouse gas and is leading to global warming? 3. Considering what you know about Photosynthesis why are trees so important in the fight against global warming? 4. Look at the formula for photosyntheis why do you think that the plants that are in a farmers field next to a road often do better than those that are far from the road? Photosynthesis is a lot of work, in fact it is so much work that it can cause a plant to sweat. The scientific name for a plant sweating is __________________________. Just like us a plant must cool itself down when it is working hard. To do this the plant lets water evaporate from its leaves. 5. Where does the water for transpiration come from? 6. How does photosynthesis and transpiration help to reduce landslides in rainforests?? Label the diagram to show that photosynthesis is occurring. Refer to the equation for help.
