OBJECTIVES
Key Objective Describe the role of specialised cells in aiding
photosynthesis
Describe how the main features of the plant are linked to photosynthesis (E-G)
Explain how leaves are adapted for efficient photosynthesis (C/D)
Explain how the structure of a leaf palisade cell is related to its function (C/D)
Identify the process by which gases travel in and out of the plant (C/D)
Explain how the cellular structure of a leaf is adapted for efficient photosynthesis (A/B)

PLENARY Draw this diagram of a Marram grass leaf.

MARRAM GRASS IS FOUND ON SAND DUNES.1) Add the two missing labels (D)2) What does the waxy cuticle do? (C)3) How does the position of the stomata
help this plant? (C)4) Why are there no stomata on the
outer surface of the leaf? (B)5) Explain the function of the hairs on
the inner surface of the leaves? (A)6) Explain how having sunken stomata
will affect gaseous exchange in the plant, and why this would be an advantage to the plant. (A*)

FOR G-E: Identify the chloroplasts, vacuole and cell wall in a plant
cell. State that chloroplasts absorb light energy for
photosynthesis. State that photosynthesis occurs mainly in the leaves. Describe the entry points of materials required for
photosynthesis: water through roots; carbon dioxide through leaf pores.
Describe the exit point of materials produced in photosynthesis: oxygen through leaf pores.
KEY WORDS: chlorophyll; cuticle; guard cell; lower epidermis; palisade
mesophyll; spongy mesophyll; stomata; upper epidermis; vein

FOR C/D Name and locate the parts of a leaf:
cuticle; upper and lower epidermis; palisade and spongy mesophyll layers; stomata and guard cells; veins.
Explain how leaves are adapted for efficient photosynthesis: broad so large surface area; thin so short distance for gases to travel; contain chlorophyll to absorb light; have a network of veins for support and transport; stomata for gas exchange.
State that the exchange of gases is by diffusion. Explain how the structure of a leaf palisade cell is related to
its function: contains many chloroplasts.

FOR A*-B:
Explain how the cellular structure of a leaf is adapted for efficient photosynthesis: epidermis is transparent; palisade layer at the top containing most of the
chloroplasts; air spaces in the spongy mesophyll allow
diffusion between stomata and photosynthesising cells;
internal surface area / volume ratio very large.
