A
Carbon dioxide + water -> Glucose + oxygen
6CO2 + 6H2O -> C6H12O6 + 6O2

A
Respiration
Making cellulose
Making amino acids
Stored as oils and fats(stored in seeds)
Stored as starch (insoluable for when photosynthesis isnt occurring like in winter)
3
Q
Limiting factors for photosynthesis
A
Light intensity, concentration of CO2, temperature, chlorophyll (absorb less light)
4

A
Trap the sun’s heat to make sure the temperature is not the limiting factor
