Photosynthesis

Question 1

Carbon Dioxide + water = (with light and chlorophyll)

Answer 1

Glucose + oxygen

Question 2

6CO(^2) + 6H(^2)O =

Answer 2

C(^6)H(^12)O(^6) + 6O(^2)

Question 3

Photosynthesis is:

Answer 3

Exothermic

Question 4

Five ways plants use glucose:

Answer 4

1. Respiration
2. Making cellulose for new cell walls
3. Making amino acids to make protein with
4. Stored as oils/fats (lipase)
5. Stored as starch

Question 5

Starch is:

Answer 5

Insoluble

Question 6

3 limiting factors:

Answer 6

Light, temperature, carbon dioxide levels

Question 7

1 extra possible limiting factor (just in case):

Answer 7

Chlorophyll (affected by disease)

Question 8

For how long do the limiting factors affect photosynthesis:

Answer 8

From 0=0 to a certain point when other factors will now affect it more

Question 9

What is the optimum temperature for photosynthesis:

Answer 9

40*C

Question 10

What happens if the temperature is too low for photosynthesis:

Answer 10

The enzymes move slower so photosynthesis is slower

Question 11

What is the inverse square law:

Answer 11

Light intensity is proportional to 1 over the distance squared
