light
6CO2 + 6H20 –> C6H12O6 + 602
2
Q
what is photosynthesis
A
photosynthesis is an endothermic reaction in which energy is transferred from the environment to the chloroplasts by light
3
Q
how do light, carbon dioxide and temperature affect photosynthesis rate
A
1) not enough light slows photosynthesis
2) too little carbon dioxide also slows it
3) the temperature has to be just right
