Photosythesis, Respiration, Transpiration
6.L.1.2 - SWBAT explain the significance of the process of photosynthesis, respiration and transpiration to the survival of green plants and other organisms.
- I will determine the materials needed for photosynthesis.
- I will explain how chlorophyll is used in the process of photosynthesis.
- I will give examples of the products made by photosynthesis.
- I will determine the materials needed for cellular respiration.
- I will recognize that all living things perform cellular respiration.
- I will recognize that the process of the loss of water is transpiration.

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are complementary processes. Plants carry on photosynthesis and cellular respiration where food is broken down into energy. The requirements of one process are the products of the other.
Photosynthesis Cellular Respiration
Food accumulated Food broken down
Energy from sun stored in glucose Energy of glucose released
Carbon dioxide taken in Carbon dioxide given off
Oxygen given off Oxygen taken in
Produces glucose Produces carbon dioxide and water
Goes on only in light Goes on day and night
Occurs in the presence of chlorophyll Occurs in all living cells
Leaves have an epidermis with a waxy cuticle and stomata that help to prevent water loss. Guard cells that surround and control the size of the opening in stomata. The loss of water through the stomata is called transpiration. The opening and closing of guard cells regulate transpiration.
