photosynthsis Flashcards
what is the word equation for photosynthsis
carbon dioxide + water ——> glucose + oxygen
what is photosynthsis
the chemical reaction through which plants make its own glucose and water
what are the limiting factors of photsynthsis
sunlight, co2 concentration, temperature, chlorophyll
how does a plant use glucose
respiration
covert into starch to make fat and oil for storage
make cellulose
make amino acids
how does light intensity effect photosynthsis
as light intensity increases it will get to a point where no more light can be used at that time so the rate of photosynthsis will not increase anymore, instead it will continue at this rate
how does carbon dioxide concentration effect photosynthsis
as co2 concentration increases the plant will not be able to take in anymore so gaurd cells will close the stomata
