photosynthesis

Question 1

photosynthesis symbols

Answer 1

6 co2 + 6 h2o (sunlight and chlorophyll) = c6h12o6 + 6o2

Question 2

photosynthesis words

Answer 2

Carbon dioxide + water (sunlight and chlorophyll) = glucose + oxygen

Question 3

definition

Answer 3

the production of carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water using radiant energy from the sunlight being absorbed by the chlorophyll having oxygen as a by-product

Question 4

raw materials

Answer 4

carbon dioxide (atmosphere)
water (soil)
radiant energy (sun)
chlorophyll (chloroplasts)
enzymes

Question 5

storage energy

Answer 5

glucose
converted into
carbohydrates (for storage purposes)

Question 6

Temperature

Answer 6

the ideal range is 20-30 degrees celsius, as soon as it gets hotter the molecules begin to denature, and if it is colder the rate of photosynthesis decreases

Question 7

light intensity

Answer 7

the higher the light intensity, the higher the rate of photosynthesis until a certain point where there is no higher rate as the light intensity (the light intensity stops being a limiting factor)

Question 8

carbon dioxide concentration

Answer 8

the decrease in co2 cause a decrease in the rate of photosynthesis, this also means there is an increase when there is an increase of co2 to the optimal point - after it stopes becoming a limiting factor

Question 9

greenhouse

Answer 9

efficient because it optimises every limiting factor

Question 10

structure of a chloroplast

Answer 10

outer membrane
inter membrane space
inner membrane
stroma
stroma lamellae
thylakoid
granum
