What does photosynthesis produce
Glucose
What does photosynthesis use to make glucose
Light
What is the word equation for photosynthesis
Carbon dioxide + water ——Light—— glucose + oxygen
What is the symbol equation for photosynthesis
6CO2 + 6H2O —— light —— C6H1206 + 6O2
What are the five main ways plants use glucose
For respiration, making cellulose, making amino acids, it is stored as oils and fats, and it is also stored as starch
What do limiting factors do to photosynthesis
They affect it
How can the rate of photosynthesis be affected
The intensity of the light, Concentration of CO2 and the temperature
What does limiting factor mean
It’s stopping photosynthesis from happening any faster
What happens when the temperature is to high
The enzyme denatures
What does oxygen production show
The rate of photosynthesis
What can be used to measure the effect of light intensity
Canadian pondweed
What does the inverse square law link
Light intensity and distance
