photosynthesis and limiting factors Flashcards
what does photosynthesis use energy to change
carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen
where does photosynthesis take place
chloroplasts
what do chloroplasts contain
pigments like chlorophyll that absorbs light
how is energy transferred to the chloroplasts
from the environment by light
photosynthesis is…
endothermic
why is photosynthesis endothermic
because energy is transferred from the environment in the process
what is the word equation for photosynthesis
carbo dioxide + water –> glucose + oxygen
what affects the rate of photosynthesis
light, co2 a temprature
what can be used to measure the effect of light intensityon the rate of photosynthesis
Canadian pondweed
how can Canadian pondweed be used to show the effect of light intensity on photosynthesis
the amount of oxygen the pondweed produces corrosponds to the rate at which it is photosynthesising
