6. Plant Structures: Photosynthesis Flashcards
What is Photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide + water —> glucose + oxygen
Plant able to make their own food
Happens inside the chloroplasts (chlorophyll absorbs light)
Endothermic reaction
During Photosynthesis, what does energy from the sun create?
Glucose + oxygen
What is Biomass?
The mass of living material
Where does Photosynthesis occur
Inside chloroplasts (chlorophyll)
What are Chloroplasts?
Part of the plant cell that allow photosynthesis occur
Contain chlorophyll
What is the equation for Photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide +water —> glucose + oxygen
What are the 3 limiting factors in Photosynthesis?
Temperature
Light intensity
Concentration of C02
How does not enough Light impact Photosynthesis?
How does too little Carbon Dioxide impact Photosynthesis?
