Exame final de Ingls II.

is part of the exam. Good luck!!!
Question one: Comprehension (5 marks).

Plants need food but they do not have to wait on people or animals to provide for them. Most plants
are able to make their own food whenever they need it. This is done using light and the process is
called photosynthesis.The word photosynthesis can be separated to make two smaller words:
photo which means light. synthesis which means putting together
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants make their own food.

To make food plants need: carbon dioxide , water and sunlight

The Process of Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis takes place in the leaves of plants. The leaves are made up of very small cells. Inside
these cells are tiny structures called chloroplasts. Each chloroplast contains a green chemical called
chlorophyll which gives leaves their green color.
Chlorophyll absorbs the suns energy.
It is this energy that is used to split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen.
Oxygen is released from the leaves into the atmosphere.
Hydrogen and carbon dioxide are used to form glucose or food for plants.

Some of the glucose is used to provide energy for the growth and development of plants while the
rest is stored in leaves, roots or fruits for later use by plants.
1. what two things do plants produce
2. What three things do plants need for Photosynthesis to take place?
3. What do photo and synthesis mean?
4. Write true or false
a) chlorophyll is smaller than chloroplast.
b) chloroplasts are leaves.
c) the colour of leaves comes from the sun.
d) carbon dioxide + water in sunlight produce glucose and oxygen.

Question two. Vocabulary 5 marks

a) nine, four, two, eight, five, double seven, nine, one.
b). nine four, five, four, nine, eight, oh, double six.

2. Write the following prices in words.
a). $ 45 b). E 10 c) Kz 100.00
3. Where can we find the following? Shower, chemist, shop, bed, bus stop, fridge, cfe,

What is Photosynthesis?

What have you learned so far?

Carbon dioxide from the air passes through small pores (holes) in the leaves. These pores are
 called stomata.
Water is absorbed by the roots and passes through vessels in the stem on its way to the leaves.
Sunlight is absorbed by a green chemical in the leaves. Here is the process in greater detail:
Photosynthesis occurs in two stages commonly known as Light dependent Reactions and the Calvin
Cycle.
Light dependent Reactions
Light dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplasts and take place only
when light is available. During these reactions light energy is converted to chemical energy.
Chlorophyll and other pigments absorb energy from sunlight. This energy is transferred to the
photosystems responsible for photosynthesis.
Water is used to provide electrons and hydrogen ions but also produces oxygen. Do you
remember what happens to the oxygen?
The electrons and hydrogen ions are used to create ATP and NADPH. ATP is an energy
storage molecule. NADPH is an electron carrier/donor molecule. Both ATP and NADPH will
be used in the next stage of photosynthesis.

Details about the flow of electrons through Photosystem II, b6-f complex, Photosystem I and NADP
reductase have not been included here but can be found under The Process of Photosynthesis in
Plants.
The Calvin Cycle
The Calvin Cycle reactions occur in the stroma of the chloroplasts. Although these reactions can take
place without light, the process requires ATP and NADPH which were created using light in the first
stage. Carbon dioxide and energy from ATP along with NADPH are used to form glucose.
More details about the formation of sugars can be found under the Process of Photosynthesis in
Plants.You already know that plants need carbon dioxide, water and sunlight to make their food. You
also know that the food they make is called glucose. In addition to glucose, plants also produce
oxygen. This information can be written in a word equation as shown below.

Now back to the definition Earlier you learned that photosynthesis is the process by which plants
make their own food. Now that we know what plants need to make food, we can add that information
as shown below.
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants make their own food using carbon dioxide, water
and sunlight.

Why is Photosynthesis Important?

Photosynthesis is important because it provides two main things:
food
oxygen

Some of the glucose that plants produce during photosynthesis is stored in fruits and roots. This is
why we are able to eat carrots, potatoes, apples, water melons and all the others. These foods provide
energy for humans and animals.
Oxygen that is produced during photosynthesis is released into the atmosphere. This oxygen is what
we breathe and we cannot live without it.
While it is important that photosynthesis provides food and oxygen, its impact on our daily lives is
far more extensive. Photosynthesis is so essential to life on earth that most living organisms,
including humans, cannot survive without it.
All of our energy for growth, development and physical activity comes from eating food from plants
and animals. Animals obtain energy from eating plants. Plants obtain energy from glucose made
during photosynthesis.

Our major sources of energy such as natural gas, coal and oil were made millions of years ago from
the remains of dead plants and animals which we already know got their energy from photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis is also responsible for balancing oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.
Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the air and release oxygen during the process of photosynthesis.
What is Botany?

Botany is the scientific study of plants. "Plants," to most people, means a wide range of living
organisms from the smallest bacteria to the largest living things - the giant sequoia trees. By this
definition plants include: algae, fungi, lichens, mosses, ferns, conifers and flowering plants. Today
scientists believe bacteria, algae and fungi are in their own distinct kingdoms, but most general
botany courses, and most Botany Departments at colleges and universities, still teach about these
groups.
Because the field is so broad, there are many kinds of plant biologists and many different
opportunities available. Botanists interested in ecology study interactions of plants with other
organisms and the environment. Other field botanists search to find new species or do experiments to
discover how plants grow under different conditions. Some botanists study the structure of plants.
They may work in the field, concentrating on the pattern of the whole plant. Others use microscopes
to study the most detailed fine structure of individual cells. Many botanists do experiments to
determine how plants convert simple chemical compounds into more complex chemicals. They may
even study how genetic information in DNA controls plant development. Botanists study processes
that occur on a time scale ranging from fractions of a second in individual cells to those that unfold
over eons of evolutionary time.
The results of botanical research increase and improve our supply of medicines, foods, fibers,
building materials, and other plant products. Conservationists use botanical knowledge to help
manage parks, forests, range lands, and wilderness areas. Public health and environmental protection
professionals depend on their understanding of plant science to help solve pollution problems.
