photo synthesis Flashcards
photosynthesis is making things using ….
- light energy
what do plants make , and what exactly is it ?
food > carbohydrate sugars > from this they can make anything
what is the equation for glucose ?
C6 H12 O 6
how is CH O2 made ?
the equation of glucose is broken down to make a new bond
how do plants make water ?
they take carbon dioxide , mix it all around = water
what is the waste gas produced through photosynthesis ?
oxygen
what is the equation for photosynthesis ?
respiration photosynthesis
CO2 +H20 > C6 H12 O6 +O2
when does photosynthesis take place ?
daytime
when does respiration take place ?
night time
what is the waste gas produced through respiration?
carbon dioxide
equation for photosynthesis ?
carbon dioxide + water > glucose and oxygen
what does rate mean ?
speed > high or low
what effects the rate plants making food ?
- temperature
- light intensity
- water
- co2 levels
why does temperature effects the rate that plants make food?
T
- more colisions with particles once temp is increased
why does carbon dioxide levels effects the rate that plants make food?
CD L
- more co2 - more sugar is made
