Plants perform photosynthesis, a chemical reaction that occurs in chloroplasts and uses chlorophyll to produce glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide, water, and light energy. Photosynthesis takes place in plant leaves, where carbon dioxide enters and oxygen exits through small openings, while water and minerals are absorbed by the roots. The glucose produced is used by the plant for energy and building new tissues, or is released through respiration.

It explains that sex is determined at conception - if a sperm carrying a Y chromosome fertilizes an egg, the offspring will be male, while an X chromosome will result in a female offspring. There is a 50% chance of producing a male or female child. The presence of a Y chromosome determines maleness.
IB Biology 2.9 Slides: Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds like glucose. It occurs in two stages: in the light-dependent reactions, sunlight is absorbed and used to split water into hydrogen, oxygen, and ATP; in the light-independent reactions, carbon dioxide is fixed into organic compounds like glucose using energy from ATP and hydrogen. Photosynthesis transformed Earth's early reducing atmosphere into an oxygen-rich one and was crucial for the evolution of complex multicellular life. The rate of photosynthesis is affected by factors like temperature, light intensity, and carbon dioxide concentration.
Photosynthesis presentation
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce glucose and oxygen. It occurs in chloroplasts in the leaves of plants. Plants need sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to photosynthesize. The process converts these inputs into glucose and oxygen through a series of chemical reactions. Glucose is the food for the plant and can be used immediately, stored as starch, or converted into other compounds to help the plant grow.

Here are the key points about homeostasis:
- Homeostasis refers to maintaining stable internal conditions in the body despite external changes.
- Conditions like temperature, water level, blood sugar, pH, and carbon dioxide levels are maintained within narrow ranges.
- Hormones help regulate these conditions and bring them back to normal levels when needed. Hormones are released from glands and travel through the bloodstream to target organs.
- For example, insulin and glucagon work together to maintain normal blood sugar levels. When blood sugar is too high, the pancreas releases insulin to lower it. When blood sugar is too low, the pancreas releases glucagon to raise it.
- The body also maintains a
NUTRITION IN PLANTS-1 (CLASS-VII) CBSE
All living organisms such as plants and animals require food. So food is essential for all living organisms. Plants are capable of making their food themselves but humans and animals cannot.
Carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals are essential components of food, these components are called Nutrients.
Group 3 pr presentation
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants produce food from sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water. It occurs in the chloroplasts of green leaves and other green parts of plants. During photosynthesis, chlorophyll traps energy from sunlight which is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and energy-rich food molecules like glucose. The food is then transported throughout the plant via phloem vessels, while water and minerals are absorbed from the soil and transported via xylem vessels to the leaves. Oxygen is released as a byproduct of photosynthesis.
photosynthesis and respiration
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants capture light energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. The chloroplasts in leaves contain chlorophyll which absorbs sunlight to drive the photosynthesis reaction. Carbon dioxide enters leaves through stomata and water is absorbed by roots. Oxygen is released as a byproduct through the stomata. Glucose produced is used by the plant for energy and growth or is stored as starch or oils. Respiration uses glucose and oxygen to produce energy for plant functions, releasing carbon dioxide and water.

The products are glucose and oxygen. Glucose is used by the plant for energy and growth, while oxygen is released as a byproduct important for other living things.
Nutrients in plants
This document discusses the modes of nutrition in plants. It explains that plants obtain nutrients through photosynthesis using chlorophyll, carbon dioxide, water and sunlight, or through heterotrophic nutrition by parasitizing other plants, decomposing dead matter, engaging in symbiotic relationships with algae, or trapping and digesting insects. The key modes of nutrition in plants are photosynthesis, parasitic relationships, saprophytism, symbiotic relationships, and insectivory.
Plant physiology
The three main processes in plant physiology are photosynthesis, respiration, and transpiration. Photosynthesis allows plants to produce their own food (carbohydrates) from carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight using chlorophyll in their leaves. Respiration breaks down carbohydrates to release energy, which is used for growth and tissue building. Transpiration is the process by which plants lose water, primarily through their leaves, which serves purposes like mineral transport and cooling the plant.
7 nutrition in plants
Plants are able to produce their own food through the process of photosynthesis, which occurs in their leaves. During photosynthesis, leaves use carbon dioxide, water, sunlight, and chlorophyll to produce carbohydrates from simple raw materials. This process allows plants to be autotrophic, unlike animals which must obtain food from other organisms. Photosynthesis is vital as it produces oxygen and feeds the rest of the world.
Nutrition in plant 02
This document summarizes nutrition in plants. It discusses photosynthesis occurring in chloroplasts in plant leaves. It describes heterotrophic plants that cannot produce their own food, including parasites that live on hosts, insectivorous plants that trap insects, and saprotrophs that feed on dead matter. Symbiotic plants have a mutually beneficial relationship with algae. Parasites harm hosts while symbiotic relationships benefit both organisms. Nutrition modes in plants are summarized in a flowchart.
Photosynthesis (teach)
Plants use photosynthesis to produce their own food. The process requires carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight. Chlorophyll in the leaves captures light energy which is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, the plant's food. Oxygen is released as a byproduct. Plants take in carbon dioxide through stomata in their leaves and water and minerals through their roots.
GCSE Biology Revision
The document provides an overview of plant biology concepts including:
1. Leaf structure and function, explaining how photosynthesis occurs in leaves through structures like chloroplasts, stomata, and a large surface area.
2. Plant processes like photosynthesis, transpiration, and osmosis are described, noting how plants intake water and exchange gases.
3. Plant responses to environmental factors like light, water, and gravity are explained through tropisms controlled by the plant hormone auxin.
Nutrition in living organisms
This document discusses different types of plant nutrition and classification. It begins by classifying plants based on their nutrition into heterotrophic, autotrophic, and saprophytic. It then describes each type in more detail. Autotrophic plants perform photosynthesis and obtain their energy from sunlight, while heterotrophic plants obtain nutrients by consuming other organisms or dead matter. Some examples of heterotrophic plants given are insectivorous and parasitic plants. The document also discusses symbiotic relationships between plants and bacteria that allow for biological nitrogen fixation.
Plants and Photosynthesis
Plants are important for animal survival. They provide oxygen, food, medicine, fuel and other products. Plants and animals depend on each other - plants provide oxygen and animals provide carbon dioxide. Plants use chloroplasts and photosynthesis to produce their own food. Through photosynthesis, plants take in water and carbon dioxide and produce sugar and oxygen. Plants come in different shapes and sizes and can adapt to their environments.
Food Production & The Environment
This document summarizes key processes in plant cells and how plants produce food. It discusses that plant cells contain organelles like the nucleus and chloroplasts which are not present in animal cells. Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts and requires carbon dioxide, water, chlorophyll and sunlight to produce glucose and oxygen. The rate of photosynthesis is affected by the concentration of carbon dioxide, light intensity and temperature. Plants and animals are interdependent as plants produce oxygen for animals and animals produce the carbon dioxide needed for photosynthesis. The document also outlines how water and minerals are transported within plants and how transpiration occurs.

Photosynthesis ptt
Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that, through cellular respiration, can later be released to fuel the organism's activities.
How Is Energy Transferred
Energy is transferred through ecosystems via food chains and food webs. Green plants, or producers, trap energy from the sun through photosynthesis and serve as the base of the food chain. Herbivores obtain energy by eating plants, and carnivores obtain energy by eating herbivores or other carnivores. Decomposers, like bacteria and fungi, break down dead organisms and waste and release nutrients back into the soil. Energy and matter are transferred and pass between trophic levels as organisms consume other organisms in an ecosystem.
Nutrition in Plants
Plants obtain nutrition through various modes including autotrophic, heterotrophic, and saprotrophic nutrition. Autotrophic nutrition, which is found in green plants, involves plants making their own food through photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, green plants such as leaves use carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight to produce carbohydrates and release oxygen. Some non-green plants rely on heterotrophic nutrition and obtain nutrients from other living organisms. Saprotrophic plants get nutrients from decaying organic matter. Symbiotic relationships also provide nutrition, such as rhizobium bacteria living in root nodules of legumes that provide nitrogen to the plant in exchange for shelter and food.
