PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Question 1

WORD EQUATION

Answer 1

CARBON DIOXIDE + WATER ——light energy—–> GLUCOSE + OXYGEN

Question 2

SYMBOL EQUATION

Answer 2

6CO2 + 6H2O ————> C6H1206 + 6O2

Question 3

KEY POINT

Answer 3

Photosynthesis is the production of GLUCOSE using LIGHT energy

Question 4

KEY POINT

Answer 4

Photosynthesis takes place in the CHLOROPLASTS

Question 5

KEY POINT

Answer 5

The green pigment inside cholorplasts is called CHLOROPHYLL

Question 6

KEY POINT

Answer 6

chlorophyll can convert LIGHT energy to CHEMICAL energy

Question 7

LIMITING FACTORS: TEMPERATURE

Answer 7

Temperature affects the activity of the ENZYMES involved with photosynthesis. TOO HIGH a temperature will DENATURE the enzymes and photosynthesis will SLOW DOWN and EVENTUALLY STOP.

Question 8

LIMITING FACTORS: CARBON DIOXIDE

Answer 8

NOT ENOUGH carbon dioxide will LIMIT the rate of photosynthesis. In the AIR the concentration of carbon dioxide is 0.04%

Question 9

LIMITING FACTORS: LIGHT

Answer 9

Light provides ENERGY to drive photosynthesis. On cloudy days light can be a LIMITING FACTOR.
