photosynthetic process
helps the reduction of carbon dioxide into carbohydrates and the oxidation of water to oxygen
light
chemical equation of photosynthesis
CO2 + 2H2O -> (CH2O)n + O2
process where green plants convert the radiant energy from the sun into chemical energy that is stored in food molecules
photosynthesis
raw materials needed for photosynthesis
light
pigment
carbon dioxide
what some microorganisms undergo
chemosynthesis
how many mayana plants are used in the first procedure
2 mayana plants

volatile and flammable
added to the leaf once the leaf is finished boiling
iodine solution
indication of starch
black color
a leaf that is placed under sunlight will turn what due to the starch that was produced by photosynthesis
black
the higher the light intensity
the faster the rate of photosynthesis
changes in photosynthetic rate are measured through this
- Amount of oxygen produced in bubbles
