Photsynthesis

Question 1

Where does photosyntheses take place

Answer 1

Chloroplasts

Question 2

Which type of organisms use photosynthesis to make their own food?

Answer 2

Producers

Question 3

What type of reaction is photosynthesis

Answer 3

Endothermic, because it takes in energy from its surroundings

Question 4

What is the word equation for photosynthesis

Answer 4

Carbon dioxide + water —> glucose + oxygen

Question 5

Symbol equation

Answer 5

6CO2+6H20—>C6H12O6+6O2

Question 6

What is the effect of temperature on the rate of photosynthesis?

Answer 6

• As temperature increases, so does the rate of photosynthesis
• Once the temperature exceeds the optimum, the rate of photosynthesis decreases as enzymes begin to denature

Question 7

What does light intensity change

Answer 7

As light intensity increases, so does the rate of photosynthesis

Question 8

What is the inverse square law

Answer 8

As the distance from the light source doubles, the light intensity quarters
Light intensity ∞ 1 / distance^2

Question 9

What is the effect of carbon dioxide concentration on the rate of photosynthesis?

Answer 9

As the concentration of carbon dioxide increases the rate of photosynthesis
increases

Question 10

What is a limiting factor

Answer 10

A factor that limits the rate of a reaction when there is not enough of it.
