1
Q
What is the purpose of the Xylem?
A
Is to transport water mineral ions.
2
Q
Equation for photosynthesis and respiration (aerobic + anaerobic)
A
6CO2 + 6H20 —> C6H12O6 + 6O2
6O2 + C6H12O6 —> 6CO2 + 6H20 + energy
C6H12O6 —> lactic acid + energy
3
Q
Limiting factors of photosynthesis + definition
A
Limiting factor = something that reduces / limits the rate reaction
- Light intensity
- CO2 concentration / abundance
- Temperature
4
Q
why does temperature limit the reaction?
A
Enzymes denture beyond it’s optimum
Decreases rate of photosynthesis
