Transcript of Plant Physiology Unit Leaves Miss. Perry Floral Design.
Functions of Leaves
● Manufacture food for the plant – through process of photosynthesis
●Equation for Photosynthesis: CO2 + H2O → C6H12O6 + O2
●Photosynthesis only occurs when light is present
Leaf Terms● Epidermis: outside layer of the leaf (leaf
surface)
●Stomata: openings in the leaves where carbon dioxide comes in from the atmosphere (needed for photosynthesis)
●Transpiration: the loss of water vapor from the plant; most water is lost from the stomata, some through the cuticle layer
Leaf Activity
Rip the paper where it is folded, making 8 flaps
You should be able to make 8 flaps. Please see the example.
Filling it out
● The next slides will show you the different types of leaf patterns. (The same ones that are on your folded paper)
● When you see that type of leaf, please open the flap and draw the picture of that leaf.
● If there is more than 2 leaves that you need to draw, then squeeze them in.
