Photosynthesis Flashcards
(7 cards)
Where does photosynthesis take place
Leaves
What is photosynthesis
The process by which green plants turn energy from the sun into chemical energy in the form of glucose
Word equation for photosynthesis
Water + Carbon dioxide -> Glucose + Oxygen
Light Energy
Balanced symbol equation for photosynthesis
6CO2 + 6H20 -> C6H12O6 + 602
How does carbon dioxide concentration impact the rate of photosynthesis
Limiting factor
More = more photosyntheses until it is not the limiting factor
How does light intensity impact the rate of photosynthesis
Limiting factor
More = more photosyntheses until it is not the limiting factor
How does temperature impact the rate of photosynthesis
Enzyme controlled
Same sit
More = more KE, more collisions, more enzyme substrate complexes
Too high = denatured enzymes
