Photosynthesis Flashcards
Photosynthesis formula
CO2+h20 with sunlight chloroyand enzymes =c6h12o6+h20
How is light energy taken in by leaf
Held in position
Large SA
thin leaves
Cuticle with epidermal cells ( no chloro)
How is water taken into the plant
Absorbed by osmosis
Transpires into xylem vessels2 leaves
Moves down diff gradient
Osmosis into chloroplast
How is co2 taken in to the plant
Diffused into leaf thru stomata
Passss into intracellular spaces
Dissolved into the moisture lining
Diffuses into chloroplast
Photosynthesis takes place where
The grand of the chloroplast
How does light energy become chemical energy
Water molecule split o2 and H
Forms ATP
How is chemical energy trapped
In stroma during dark phase
What happens to glucose after photosynthesis
Used in respiration
Proteins oils and vitimins
Starch storage cellulose cell walls
Sucrose for transport
What factors affect photosynthesis
Light
Heat
CO2
