Answer 4

light energy

Question 5

give the word equation for photosynthesis

Answer 5

carbon dioxide + water –> glucose + oxygen

Question 6

define the term limiting factor

Answer 6

anything that limits that rate of reaction when it is in short supply

Question 7

give the limiting factors of photosynthesis

Answer 7

temperature
C02 concentration
light intensity
amount of chlorophyll

Question 8

describe how light intensity affects the rate of photosynthesis

Answer 8

increasing light will increases the rate of photosynthesis

Question 9

describe how carbon dioxide concentration affects the rate of photosynthesis

Answer 9

increasing carbon dioxide concentration increases the rate of photosynthesis

Question 10

describe how temperature affects the rate of photosynthesis

Answer 10

increasing the temperature increases the rate of photosynthesis as the reaction rate increases

Question 11

why are limiting factors important in the economics of growing plants in greenhouses

Answer 11

greenhouses need to produce the maximum rate
