Q
What is the BALANCED symbol equation for photosynthesis?
A
6CO2 + 6H2O → 6O2 + C6H12O
3
Q
How are leaves adapted to make photosynthesis effective?
A
Big surface area, short diffusion distance, lots of chlorophyll, veins which bring water in xylem cells.
4
Q
What four things affect the rate of photosynthesis?
A
Light, temperature, CO2 concentration and chlorophyll levels
5
Q
What do plants use glucose for?
A
Making amino acids, building up fats and oils and strengthen cell walls
6
Q
What is hydroponics?
A
Controlling the temperature, light levels and carbon dioxide to get the fastest rates of photosynthesis.
