Fill in the blanks on ''How the Earth is dependent on Photosynthesis'' Organisms on Earth require oxygen in order to grow and survive. Our organisms would die if carbon dioxide rose above 10%. Photosynthesis keeps our oxygen level at an adequate level and it prevents the carbon dioxide from becoming poisonous. All organisms need food in order to survive and it is provided by photosynthesis. What is photosynthesis?Write the chemical and word equation for photosynthesis. Write the definition of photosynthesis and give the word equation chemical equation for it. Give three functions of photosynthesis to allow organisms to survive. How do plants photosynthesise? All plants have the ability to photosynthesise. All plants take in carbon dioxide from the air through tiny pores on their leaves known as stomata. Plants take in water from the soil through their roots.Sunlight is absorbed by the chloroplasts which contain a green pigment chlorophyll. The green pigment allows carbon dioxide and water to combine to form a sugar known as glucose. This is the food all plants need. The sunlight provides energy for the reaction to occur. Oxygen is released and is given off into the air as a waste product. A process where there are new substances made Biological Chemical Physical A process that happens in living organisms cells. Physical Biological Chemical Describe how exactly plants photosynthesise using the image above.Be sure to include key terms mentioned. A plant cell Label each of the parts of the plant cells.
