Document Summary

Slide 2: photosynthesis, occurs in green tissues, requires light, produces food (co2+h20+light -> sugar(c6h12o6)+o2. Holes through the bottom of the plant called stomates take co2 and make bonds with air and such to make the sugar. Slide 3: respiration, occurs in all cells, in light and dark, releases energy (sugar+o2->co2+o2+energy) Slide 4: transpiration, h2o movement through plants, involves 90% of plant h20, process by which plants lose h2o through stomates, necessary because plants are ~95% h2o. Slide 5: sexual, seeds (genetic recombination) asexual, clones, same characteristics as parent plant, multiplication of plants from vegetative parts, shoots root leaves bulbs or corms, grafting and budding. It"s got eggs, a(cid:374)d stuff, (cid:271)ut ha(cid:448)e (cid:373)a(cid:374)(cid:455) differe(cid:374)t (cid:449)a(cid:455)s to reproduce, as compared to humans who have only one way. You need a mirastem tip for the plant, not just the leaf. Peat moss -holds water, bark aeration, perlite aeration, sand dense, organic matter.
