CELULAR RESPIRATION AND PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Hello everyone today i'm sharing with you a diagram about celular respiration and photosynthesis and some information about it:

PHOTOSYNTHESIS:
In order for photosynthesis to occur, a plant needs a few things in its environment: water, carbon dioxide, and energy from the sun (or light source). The chloroplast in a plant cell traps energy from the sun. This energy stimulates the chloroplast to split water in the cell into hydrogen and oxygen. The oxygen is released into the air as a waste product. The chloroplast also makes a sugar from the carbon dioxide and hydrogen that was split from the water. 

RESPIRATION:

Animals exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide in a process called respiration. Cells in your body exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide also. Let's say that eat an apple for a snack. The apple is a plant that has stored the energy from the sun as sugars...sweet apple! When you eat the apple, your body breaks it down into smaller pieces that your cell can use. These simple sugars are called glucose. The glucose enters the cell and travels to the mitochondria, where the energy can be made for the cell. Inside the mitochondria, respiration occurs, as the plant sugars are broken into water and carbon dioxide.

SUMARY:

Photosynthesis: sun's energy + carbon dioxide + water = sugars + oxygen (happens in the chloroplast).
Respiration: oxygen + sugars = carbon dioxide + water + stored energy (happens in the mitochondria).
 
              

XYLEM SAP

Hello everyone today i'm sharing with you some information about Xylem Sap:

Xylem is one of the two types of transport tissue in vascular plants, phloem being the other. The word xylem is derived from the Greek word ξύλον (xylon), meaning "wood"; the best-known xylem tissue is wood, though it is found throughout the plant.
FUNCTION:
The basic function of xylem is to transport water, but it also transports some nutrients.

ROOT HAIRS

Hello everyone today i'm sharing with you a photo of root hairs and some information about the roots:
A root hai hair, or absorbent hair, the rhizoid of a vascular plant, is a tubular outgrowth of a trichoblast, a hair-forming cell on the epidermis of a plant root. As they are lateral extensions of a single cell and only rarely branched, they are invisible to the naked eye. They are found only in the region of maturation of the root. Just prior to the root hair cell development, there is a point of elevated phosphorylase activity
FUNCTION:
The function of root hairs is to collect water and mineral nutrients present in the soil and take this solution up through the roots to the rest of the plant. As root hair cells do not carry out photosynthesis they do not contain chloroplasts.
