What are the reactants and products of photosynthesis?– Reactants = water, CO2, and sunlight

– Products = glucose and O2

Structure and FunctionStructure and Function

Anther: produces pollen

Pollen: haploid male gametes (sex cells)

Stigma & Style: Sticky top of style where pollen lands. The style transports it to the ovary.

Ovary: Female organ which produces female gametes.

1. Bright colors and sweet nectar to attract pollinators.

2. Development of fruit for seed dispersal.

Function of leaves

• Trap light energy for photosynthesis

• Produce sugar from photosynthesis

• Exchange of gases – carbon dioxide (in) and oxygen (out)

StructureWide

Helps to catch more light energy

Thin

Helps get carbon dioxide from bottom to top of leaf for photosynthesis

• Stems can be herbaceous like the bendable stem of a daisy or woody like the trunk of an oak tree.

Stiff cell walls for trunks and branches. Dead Xylem becomes the wood on the inside
