Photosynthesis

Question 1

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Answer 1

6CO2 + 6H2O —> C6H12O6 + 6O2

-Carbon dioxide diffuses in from the air via the stomata (6CO2)

-water goes into the soil -> xylem across the root hair cell by osmosis (6H2O)

-respiration in cellulose - cell wall stores it - starch + nitrogen —> proteins (C6H12O6)

(6O2) - diffuses out via the stomata

Question 2

What is the light dependent phase of photosynthesis?

Answer 2

Light dependent:
Light will come in and split the water —> H2O —> H^+ + O2 (O2 diffuses out)

Question 3

What is the light independent phase of photosynthesis?

Answer 3

H^+ + CO2 —> C6H12O6
