Photosynthesis

Question 1

Why is respiration needed?

Answer 1

Living organisms need energy to perform life process and maintain homeostasis

Question 2

Homeostasis

Answer 2

Body maintains balance

Question 3

Heterotrophic organisms

Answer 3

Dependent on green plants for energy

Question 4

Autotrophic organisms

Answer 4

Green plays that produce organic food from inorganic components and radiant energy

Question 5

Inorganic components

Answer 5

Mineral salts and water

Question 6

Photosynthesis main phases

Answer 6

Light dependent
Light independent

Question 7

Light dependent:

Answer 7

Granum
Takes place as long as light is available
>sunlight absorbed by chlorophyll

Question 8

Light independent

Answer 8

Stroma
Take place at any time of the day as long as light products are available

Question 9

Photosynthesis process

Answer 9

1. Radiant energy is absorbed by chlorophyll
2. Converted into chemical potential energy

Question 10

Photosynthesis equation

Answer 10

6CO2+ 6H2O+radiant energy —> C6H12O6+6O2

Question 11

After photosynthesis

Answer 11

Glucose is made
Plants convert glucose to starch
Excess is stored as fats and oils

Question 12

Why is glucose converted to starch

Answer 12

Starch is insoluble in water : will not influence water balance

Question 13

Importance of photosynthesis

Answer 13

Maintain of oxygen-carbon dioxide balance in environment
Only way radiant energy can be made for heterotrophic plants
