photosynthesis (Required Practical) Flashcards
1
Q
what do plants use a a source of energy
A
light
2
Q
what type of a reaction is photosynthesis
A
endothermic
3
Q
where does photosynthesis take place
A
leaves as they contain chlorophyll which can absorb light energy
4
Q
what is the process of photosynthesis
A
- plant takes carbon dioxide and water into the leaf
- Light energy is then absorbed by chlorophyll.
- This light energy is then used to convert the carbon dioxide and water into the sugar glucose.
- In this reaction, oxygen is also produced.
5
Q
what is the formula for photosynthesis
A
light
carbon dioxide + water ———— glucose + oxygen
chlorophyll
6
Q
what is the chemical formula for photosynthesis
A
CO2 + H2O ———– C6 H12 O6 + O2
7
Q
what can effect the amount of photosynthesis being made
A
the amount of chlorophyll on the leaf
temperature as the higher the temperature then the faster the enzymes will work
