Photosynthesis

Question 1

How light intensity effects photosynthesis

Answer 1

As light intensity increases so does the rate of photosynthesis until it levels off/ plateaus when it ceases to be the limiting factor

Question 2

How temperature effects photosynthesis

Answer 2

As temperature increases so does the rate of photosynthesis as enzymes can catalyse more reactions. Maximum rate of photosynthesis is at the optimum temperature for enzymes. Above the optimum enzymes denature and photosynthesis decreases

Question 3

How carbon dioxide concentration effects photosynthesis

Answer 3

As carbon dioxide concentration increases so does the rate of photosynthesis until it levels off/ plateaus when it ceases to be the limiting factor

Question 4

Photosynthesis word equation

Answer 4

Carbon dioxide + water —> glucose + oxygen

Question 5

Photosynthesis symbol equation

Answer 5

6CO2 + 6H2O —> C6H12O6 + 6O2

Question 6

Glucose uses

Answer 6

-sucrose
-cellular respiration
-cellulose production
-starch production
-amino acid production
-fat production
