Follow the Water Photosynthesis and Respiration A presentation by Abdullah Al-Shackarchi

Water Gets Absorbed by the Roots Water and Mineral Salts get absorbed by the Root Hair and moves into the Roots .

Water Gets Transported to the Leaves Water and Minerals moves amongst the plants through the stem via the xylem and the phloem .

Flax stem cross-section, showing locations of underlying tissues. Ep = epidermis; C = cortex; BF = bast fibres; P = phloem; X = xylem; Pi = pith

Photosynthesis

CO2 + 2 H2A + photons -> (CH2O) n + H2O + 2A

Glucose (Sugar) The energy that powers all living things.

Respiration C6H12O6 (aq) + 6O2 (g) -> 6CO2 (g) + 6H2O (l)

Water Transported Back to Leafs Back through the xylem

Water Exits the Leaf Water exits through the Stoma (Stomata)
