Given below is a schematic diagram to illustrate some aspects of photosynthesis. (a) Fill up the gaps, in blank spaces (1-4), by writing the names of the correct items. (b) What phenomenon do the think arrows A and B indicate respectively?

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

(a)

1. Light energy/Sunlight

2. Oxygen

3. Glucose

4. Water

Explanation: The diagram depicts the process of photosynthesis.

Sunlight (1) is the input that catalyzes the reaction.

Oxygen (2) is released into the atmosphere (shown by the arrow going out of the leaf).

The other product, glucose (3), is spread to the other parts of the plant (arrow shows how this product id distributed).

Water (4), is required for this process (which is shown as being transported towards the leaf by the arrows).

(b) A. Arrow A represents transpiration.

Explanation: Transpiration is the evaporative loss of water from the aerial parts (like the leaves and stem) of the plant.

B. Arrow B represents the ascent of sap.

Explanation:Ascent of sap in the xylem tissue of plants is the upward movement of water molecules from the root to the uppermost tip of the plant.
