photo synthesis equation
H20 + Co2 -> C6H12O6+ O2
how do plants use glucose
- use in resp
- many join-> starch = insoluble carb, stored
- many join-> cellulose= add strength to cell wall
- make lipids= fats/oils stored
- make pro = glucose + nitrates -> aa-> many join = pro
where do Co2 and water enter plants
stomata
roots-> xylem
what happens to waste oxygen in plants
animals and microorganisms get it
the plant can also breathe
effects on light intensity on photosynthesis
as light increases ps increases until limiting factor
effects of temp on photosynthesis rate
temp increases, ps rate increases
optimum temp
enz denatures
white light
green blue red
how r greenhouses adapted
increase growth of crop/plants
- glass= max light
-position plants
-artificial lighting + optimum wavelength
Co2= paraffin heater / factory waste
(high = toxic)
spray water= keep humidity high
hydroponic = mineral ions
regulate temp
why are plants good for environment
remove co2 from env green house gas-> global warming
is photosynthesis endo or exo
endo takes in energy from sun
experiment photosynthesis
Ps factors= light intensity, temp , plant amount
distance lamp by 5cm
count bubbles for 1 minute of o2
I= what are you changing and how
D= what are you measuring and how
C= what e u keeping the same
3 repeats - discard anomaly + calc mean accurate control variables and fair test
what does light do to photosynthesis
give sit light energy
what does temp do to photosynthesis graph
temp increases= more E for reaction (collisions/enz) peak/optimum= max rate PS
Hot= enz denature - active site changes shape
no longer complementary to substrate
