Photosynthesis

Question 1

What is the word formula for photosynthesis?

Answer 1

water + carbon dioxide —> glucose + oxygen

Question 2

What is the symbol equation for photosynthesis?

Answer 2

6H2O + 6CO2 —> 6O2 + C6H12O6

Question 3

What type of reaction is photosynthesis?

Answer 3

Photosynthesis is an endothermic reaction ( takes in energy)

Question 4

What is needed for photosynthesis to happen?

Answer 4

Chlorophyll( which is made in chloroplasts),carbon dioxide, water and sunlight.

Question 5

How does carbon dioxide affect the rate of photosynthesis

Answer 5

The rate of photosynthesis increases with the percentage levels of carbon dioxide up to a point. This is as there are going to be other limiting factors at this point such as water, light and temperature that needs to be increased as well

Question 6

How does light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis?

Answer 6

The rate of photosynthesis increases with light intensity up to a point.This is as there are going to be other limiting factors at this point such as water, carbon dioxide and temperature that needs to be increased as well

Question 7

How does water levels affect the rate of photosynthesis?

Answer 7

The rate of photosynthesis increases with water levels up to a point. This is as there are going to be other limiting factors at this point such as water, light and temperature that needs to be increased as well

Question 8

How does temperature affect the rate of photosynthesis?

Answer 8

The rate of reaction increases with temperature until the optimal temperature is reached. If the temperature goes any higher than this, the enzymes will denature and no photosynthesis will happen.

Question 9

What is the glucose produced from photosynthesis stored as?

Answer 9

The glucose is stored as starch ( in things like potatoes)
