6.1, 6.2, 6,3 - Photosynthesis Flashcards
(11 cards)
What are the main producers of food?
Plants and algae are the main producers of food.
What process do plants and algae use to synthesize food?
They synthesize food through a process called photosynthesis.
What type of reaction is photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is an endothermic reaction.
Where does photosynthesis occur?
Photosynthesis occurs in plants and algae.
What is transferred to chloroplasts during photosynthesis?
Light energy from the environment is transferred to chloroplasts in leaves.
What is the equation for photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide + water → glucose + oxygen.
What are the chemical symbols for the substances involved in photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide (CO₂), Water (H₂O), Oxygen (O₂), Glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆).
How does temperature affect the rate of photosynthesis?
With an increase in temperature, the rate of photosynthesis increases until enzymes begin to denature.
How does light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis?
For most plants, the higher the light intensity, the faster the rate of the reaction.
What effect does carbon dioxide concentration have on photosynthesis?
As the concentration of carbon dioxide increases, the rate of reaction increases.
What is a limiting factor in photosynthesis?
A limiting factor is an environmental condition that restricts any increase in the rate of photosynthesis.
