energy , reactants
endothermic reaction
energy transferred from the environment by light
energy transferred from the environment by light is called a
endothermic reaction
why is photosynthetic important
supplies energy to the whole food chain
rate of photosynthes
light increases so does rate of photosynthesis
what stops the rate of photosynthesis from increasing
carbon dioxide or temperature
calm down
okay
