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 cuciule adaprations leaf
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

expermient 1 test for stracth
- de-strach for 24 hours in dark cupbaord or
- heat water up in a test tube using a Bunsen burner
- once leaf bacterial dead + wax
- heat up ethanol using testube and beaker or water abth
- dip leath in
- cover leaf with idone solution
- if strach presnt blue-blavk
no strach oragne - brown
test for CO2
destach plant - all starch on leaf already used up so wont effect results of test
but 2 plastic cones around plant / but both in sealer glass bell jar
one will have potassium hydroxide or soda lime to absorb the co2 in the air the other will have none
leave them in the sun fr 24 hrs
test leaf for strach
test for chlorphly
dame as for strach but with variated leaf
how structure of a leaf is adapted for photosynthesis
- LSA
-upper epidermis / cuticle;
transparent / lets light through;
-chloroplasts / chlorophyll;
palisade (mesophyll); - spongy (mesophyll);
diffusion; ir space - stomata / guard cells;
- xylems
- thin leaf
- waxy cuticule
what happens to leaf when it is being de strached
(
starch removed / starch used / no starch / eq;
(converted to) glucose;
respiration / energy;
