B.8 Flashcards
1
Q
What is the word equation for photosynthesis
A
Carbon dioxide + water –> glucose oxygen
Sunlight
2
Q
How is glucose stored
A
Glucose is stored as starch because sugar is water soluble and would effect the osmotic potential of the plant
3
Q
Ehat can the glucose from photosynthesis be used for
A
Protein Starch Cellulose Fats/oils Sugars Resperation
4
Q
Why do farmers use greenhouses?
A
Plants need CO2, water and sunlight in order to produce photosynthesis and so greenhouses can be used to control all of these factors so that farmers can increase their yield by maximising photosynthesis
5
Q
What kind of reaction is photosynthesis
A
Endothermic
Energy is transferred to the chloroplasts from the surroundings by light
