Question 1

What is the photosynthetic reaction?

Answer 1

Carbon Dioxide + Water -> Oxygen + Glucose

Question 2

What is the rate of photosynthesis?

Answer 2

The rate of photosynthesis is directly proportional to light intensity and inversely proportional to the distance from a light source

Question 3

How does temperature effect the rate of photosynthesis?

Answer 3

As the temperature of the environment the plant is in increases rate of photosynthesis increases (up to a point) as there is more energy for the chemical reaction

Question 4

How does light intensity effect the rate of photosynthesis?

Answer 4

Light intensity increases as the distance between the plant and the light sources increases. As light intensity increases so does the rate of photosynthesis (up to a point) as more energy is available for the chemical reaction

Question 5

How does Carbon dioxide concentration effect the rate of photosynthesis?

Answer 5

Carbon dioxide is needed for plants to make glucose. The rate of photosynthesis will increase when a plant is given higher concentrations of carbon dioxide (up to a point)

Question 6

How does the amount of chlorophyll effect the rate of photosynthesis?

Answer 6

Chlorophyll is a photosynthetic pigment that absorbs light and allows the reaction between water and carbon dioxide to occur

Question 7

What is respirations response to exercise?

Answer 7

During exercise the human body reacts to increased demand for energy
