Plant Cells and Photosynthesis Worksheets

by

Cell Unit Update!

This Cells Unit covers cell theory, prokaryotic vs. eukaryotic cells, animal vs. plant cells, the organelles of the cell, and now goes into more detail about chloroplast anatomy, the layers of a leaf, photosynthesis, and more.

Cell Unit - Plant and Animal Cell Worksheets and Activities

We just finished a big unit on plant cells and photosynthesis, studying everything from the organelles of plant cells to details about chloroplasts and the process of photosynthesis (light-dependent and light-independent reactions).

Plant Cell and Photosynthesis Worksheets

While we have studied cells before, I wound up basically creating a new packet because I had a number of new images I wanted to incorporate into this unit. I have just added nearly 50 pages of new material to the Cells Unit making it more than 150 pages!

Organelles of the Cell Worksheets

We started by talking about the organelles of the plant cell. These are similar to those found in animal cells, with a couple of exceptions.

  • Lysosomes are not commonly found in plant cells. Lysosomes are not needed in plant cells because they have cell walls that are tough enough to keep the large/foreign substances out of the cell.
  • Centrioles are absent from the cells of higher plants.

Organelles of Plant and Animal Cells WorksheetsThere are a number of different worksheets in this section – matching, fill-in-the-blank, cut-and-paste and blank worksheets.  My kids filled in the blank worksheet at the end of the unit and were proud of how much they had learned! 🙂

Photosynthesis Worksheets:

Including notebook pages on Chloroplasts, Light-Dependent Reaction, Light-Independent Reaction (Calvin Cycle), Transpiration, Stomata & Guard Cells

Photosynthesis Notebook Pages and Worksheets

We then went on to talk about the process of photosynthesis.

  • We talked about the parts of the chloroplasts.
  • Light-Dependent Phase of Photosynthesis
  • Light-Independent Phase or Calvin Cycle
  • Transpiration
  • Stomata (Stoma) & Guard Cells

The answers are provided for these notebook pages.

This new PDF of Plant Cells and Photosynthesis has been ADDED to the Cell Unit. There are now more than 150 pages in the Cells Unit.

What age is this Cell Unit for? 

When we first studied cells, my kids were in upper elementary and middle school students. My kids were ages 9 and 11 when we first did this unit. My 7 year old joined in too because that’s how it is when you homeschool! 😉  The most recent updates include material that is suitable for middle school and high school. (My kids were 12 and 15 when we did this unit on plant cells and photosynthesis.)

If you ever need help or need the download link sent to you again, feel free to email me!

This unit includes more than 150 pages of materials! I will include more photos of what is included down below.

Our packets are PDF digital downloads. After your purchase, remember to check your PayPal email address for the download link. This page answers some Frequently Asked Questions. Feel free to email me if you have any questions! You will receive 2 PDFs in a zipped file. If you have trouble opening the zipped file, please email me! ~Liesl

Again, the Cell Packet is included in our Human Body Bundle. It is also included in the Biology Bundle of 6. For example, if you want to go on to study bacteria and viruses in more depth you might be interested in the (100-page) Pathogens Packet.
