Question

name__________ directions: analyze the following model of photosynthesis. model 1 image of plant with boxes 1. label the boxes representing what is needed by the plant to survive and what is created by the plant.

Explanation:

To label the photosynthesis model:

• The top - left box (near the sun - like symbol) should be labeled "Sunlight" as light energy is a key input for photosynthesis.
• The box with the arrow pointing into the leaf should be "Carbon Dioxide ($\ce{CO_2}$)" since $\ce{CO_2}$ is taken in by leaves for photosynthesis.
• The box below the $\ce{CO_2}$ - input box (near the leaf's lower part) should be "Water ($\ce{H_2O}$)" as water is absorbed by roots and transported to leaves.
• The box near the roots should be "Water ($\ce{H_2O}$) (absorbed from soil)" or just "Water" (to show the root's role in water uptake).
• The box with the arrow pointing out of the leaf should be "Oxygen ($\ce{O_2}$)" (a by - product) or "Glucose ($\ce{C_6H_{12}O_6}$)" (the main product, depending on the model's focus; if showing gas exchange, $\ce{O_2}$ is released, if showing the product, glucose is made).

Answer:

• Top - left box: Sunlight
• Arrow - into - leaf box: Carbon Dioxide ($\ce{CO_2}$)
• Below $\ce{CO_2}$ box: Water ($\ce{H_2O}$)
• Near roots box: Water (absorbed from soil)
• Arrow - out - of - leaf box: Oxygen ($\ce{O_2}$) (or Glucose ($\ce{C_6H_{12}O_6}$) depending on model focus)
