photosythesis Flashcards
mesophyll tissue
where most of the photosynthesis takes place
xylem and phloem
transport water and minerals around plant
epidermal tissue
covers the whole plant
carbon dioxide + water
glucose + oxygen
limiting factors
light, carbon dioxide and temperature
light intensity
increase rate of photosynthesis but only to a certain point.
temperature
increase rate of photosynthesis. Temperature goes above 45 degrees Celsius the enzymes denature and rate decreases.
what can famer do to increase growth of tomatoes in greenhouse?
artificial lights, paraffin heater and fertilisers.
uses of glucose
respiration
making cell walls
making protein
stored in seeds
how can we measure rate of photosynthesis using pondweed?
count bubbles given off or collect the oxygen in a gas syringe
