Why is this upside down?
-No… not because we are crazy!!
It is harder to break down starch
than simple sugars. Why?
 In
addition to water and
CO2, photosynthesis
requires light and
chlorophyll, a molecule in
chloroplasts.
 CHLOROPHYLL
= plants’ main pigment,
appears green.
When water in the
roots is pulled through
the plant and exits as
water vapor through
the stomata of the
leaves
 Transpiration uses
about 90% of the water
that enters the plant.

Transports nutrients.
 Helps plants cool off.
 Gives off Oxygen
 Absorbs Carbon Dioxide

Xylem – Pulls water
and minerals from
the roots through
stem and up to the
leaves
 Phloem – Pulls
glucose from
photosynthesis to go
throughout the plant
and down to the
roots


Opening in the
bottom of the
leaves
› Guard Cells and
Stoma

Leaf Structure
80% of the
cooling effect of a
shade tree is
from the
evaporative
cooling effects of
transpiration.
