Word equation for photosynthesis
Light
Carbon dioxide + water ———
Glucose + oxygen
5 ways plants use glucose
Respiration
Making cellulose
Making amino acids
Stored as Fats or oils
Stored as starch
Limiting factors on rate of photosynthesis
Environmental conditions ( there is no light at night)
Amount of chlorophyll in plant ( can be affected by disease )
For photosynthesis
As light levels rise
The rate of photosynthesis increases up to a certain point
For photosynthesis
As the amount of co2 rises
The rate of photosynthesis will increase to a certain point
For photosynthesis
The higher the temperature
The faster the rate of photosynthesis until a certain point
For photosynthesis
What happens when the temp hits 45 degrees
Enzymes become denatured and the rate of photosynthesis drops
On a rate of photosynthesis graph for co2 and light levels, the line will
Increase at a steady rate then level out
On a rate of photosynthesis graph for temperature the line would
Increase at a steady rate then drop back down to bottom at 45 degrees
How to create ideal conditions for photosynthesis
Greenhouse
Is photosynthesis exo or endo
Endothermic
