Photosynthesis

Question 1

What is photsynthesis

Answer 1

It is how plants make glucose by using sunlight to gain energy and grow

Question 2

What is the photsyntheis word equation

Answer 2

Carbon dioxide+Water makes Glucose+Oxygen

Question 3

What is the photosynthesis chemical equation

Answer 3

6CO2+6H2O makes C6H12O6+6O2

Question 4

What are the limiting factors of photosynthesis and describe them

Answer 4

Temp-Higher temp makes the enzymes reach optimum but past that they denature
CO2-This is used up so higher concentration makes the rate faster
Light- Obviously the higher rate makes the reaction happen quicker

Question 5

Is photsynthesis exo or endothermic

Answer 5

Endothermic as it has to absorb the lights heat to react and does not release heat

Question 6

What are 4 uses of glucose

Answer 6

For respiration to release energy
Produce celluose for cell walls
Converted into starch for storage
Produce amino acids with nitrate ions
