Question 1

Photosynthesis

Answer 1

The process in plant, which produces glucose. A glucose is then used for making cell walls and proteins. For the process sunlight, water and carbon dioxide is required.
CO2+H2O-C6H12O6+O2

Question 2

Chlorophyll

Answer 2

The green pigment found in leaves that absorbs light.

Question 3

How are leaves adapted for photosynthesis?

Answer 3

• Large surface area
• Waxy cuticle protect leaf before evaporation of water
• Stomata control what is going in and out, so lead doesn’t waste water.

Question 4

Limiting factors of photosynthesis

Answer 4

CO2 concentration
Light density
Temperature
Chlorophyll

Question 5

Uses of glucose

Answer 5

• used for respiration in night
• converted into insoluble starch for storage
• used to produce fats or oil for storage
• used to produce cellulose, strengthening the cell wall
• used to produce proteins

Question 6

To produce proteins,

Answer 6

plants also use nitrate ions that are absorbed from the soil.
