what is phtotsyntheiss
the process where you make carbohydrates from raw material using energy from sunlight
process of PS
- plants have chloroplast
-chloroplast contains chlorophyll - chlorophyll absorbs light energy
- that energy make glucose form co2 and 0
- oxygen is a waster product
equations for ps
6 co2 + 6o2 –> 6 C6H1206 + 6 02
use of glucose
- makes sucrose for transport
- make amino acids
- make cellulose for cell walls
- produces starch
- make fatty aicds and lips to store energy in seed
limiting factors heat
heat : increas rops
more ke
more change of sucsessful collisons between enzyme and substrate
until opt temp
limiting facortr co2
- increase rate of ps
until a new limiting factors takes place as it is on short supply
limiting factor chlorphyll
more chlorophyll increase rate of ps
limiting facortr light
increase rate of ps
until a new limiting factors takes place as it is on short supply

wax cuticule - allows sun to come throgut but stil protwext plant
uppers + lower episdermis
thin and tranparent to let light come through to plaise cells
plalisde mesophyll cells
contain chlorolphyll to help absorbs lots of light
spongs mesophylly
have hair spaces to help give plant LSA to co2 can diffues theough
guard cells
opens the stomata when its light outside to allow gas echachne and close when dark so no water is loss due to transpairation
