Y8 Biology Flashcards
Which organisms can carry out photosynthesis
Plants
Where in a leaf cell does photosynthesis occur
Chloroplast
What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis
It absorbs the the sunlight
List four requirements for photosynthesis
Light, carbon dioxide, water and chlorophyll
What are the products of photosynthesis
Oxygen + glucose
How can we test a gas to prove it is oxygen
By lighting it up on a splint and then blowing it out and putting it into a gas and it should light up
How can we measure the rate of photosynthesis in an aquatic plant
Place the plant into a glass full of water and then putting a piece of black card behind and the count the bubbles
Why is photosynthesis a vital process to all living things on earth not just to plants
It makes the oxygen in the air and changes the energy into energy which starts the food chain
