Plants Flashcards
4 things that effect growth of photosynthesis
Light - the more, the quicker
Water - too little, slows rate of photosynthesis- can also perish
Temperature - optimum temp is 30 - 40 degrees. If exceeded, it can slow photosynthesis down a lot
CO2 - more the better and it speeds up a lot.
Photosynthesis
4 things needed to make food
Sunlight
Chlorophyll
Water
Carbon dioxide
Word equation for photosynthesis
C.d + water —-> oxygen + glucose
What is photosynthesis
The process where the sunlight, carbon dioxide and water produces food
Where does it take place
In the chloroplasts. Chloroplasts contains a green place called chlorophyll where photosynthesis takes place.
Plant growth
Root hair cell
How are they adapted to absorb more water
Large surface area
Thin cell membrane
Take in essential minerals like nitrates. Nitrates provide nitrogen to make protein.
For photosynthesis and respiration, what does pottasium do and do they help
They are very useful as they make enzymes work properly, which is imperative for photosynthesis and respiration to take place
