photosynthesis Flashcards
1
Q
importance of photosynthesis
A
- there is a balance between oxygen and carbon dioxide
- radiant energy is made available
- makes fossil fuels available for use
2
Q
factors affecting photosynthesis
A
CO2 concentration, temperature and light intensity
3
Q
CO2 concentration
A
the rate of photosynthesis increases as the CO2 concentration increases
4
Q
temperature
A
as the temperature increases so does the rate of photosynthesis up until a certain point, after that point enzymes denature and the rate of photosynthesis decreases
5
Q
light intensity
A
the more light the quicker the depended phase occurs, the more hydrogen released the quicker the independent phase occurs hence the rate of photosynthesis increases
6
Q
products of light dependent phase
A
- O2
- ATP
- NADPH
7
Q
reactants of light depended phase
A
- H2O
- NaDP+
- NADP + P
8
Q
products of calvin cycle
A
- glucose
- NaDP+
- ADP + P
9
Q
reactants of calvin cycle
A
- Co2
- ATP
- NaDH
