b4 Flashcards
what do plants use for there source of energy
plants use light
what is the reaction plants use to trap light energy is called
photosynthesis
is Photosynthesis an endothermic and exderthermic reaction
endothermic reaction because it takes in energy
where does Photosynthesis take place in a plant
the leaves
what do the leaves of the plant contains
a green substance chlorophyll chlorophyll can absorb light energy
what’s the word equation for Photosynthesis
carbon dioxide + water with little light (chlorophyll) glucose + oxygen
what happens if we only keep increasing the light intensity in Photosynthesis
the rate of Photosynthesis will no longer increase due to the light intensity bing the limiting factor
what can effect the rate of Photosynthesis
the amount of chlorophyll in the leaf
name off the Photosynthesis limiting factor
Light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration and temperature
what happens if we keep on increase the temp
the enzyme will denature and the rate of Photosynthesis will fall
what is use for the glucose
to release energy in respiration
were does respiration take place
in the mitochondria
glucose produced by Photosynthesis is to produce
the insoluble storage molecule starch
when can the starch be converted
it can be converted back to glucose at night by the plant when it is needed
what is cellulose
is in the plant wall which gives it strength
