Q

how does temperature affect photosynthesis

A

as the temperature rises the rate of photosynthesis increases when the temperature becomes too high enzymes are denatured and so rate of photosynthesis decreases until it stops completely

Q

how can you measure the rate of photosynthesis

A

place a plant underwater and measure the volume of oxygen made or count the number of bubbles jn a given time. the more gas made the faster the rat of photosynthesis

Q

how do plants make protiens

A

aminoa cides can be made from glucose and plants combine these with nitrate jons absorbed from the soil to make protiens

17
Q

what is starch used for in the plant

A

storage

18
Q

what are oil or fats used for in the plant

A

storage

19
Q

what is cellulose used for in the plant

A

strenghten the cell wall

20
Q

what are amino acids used for in the plant

A

protien synthesis

21
Q

what is the name of the chemical that makes a leaf look green

A

chlorophyll

22
Q

how can you test a plant for starch

A

boil in ethanol to destroy waxy cuticle and remove the colour, then add iodine to the leaf if it turns blue it contains starch

23
Q

what cell part is needed for photosynthesis to take place

A

chloroplast
