Gas exchange in leaves
Photosynthesis:
CO2 + H2O (+ light and chlorophyll) --> O2 + C6H12O6
Respiration:
O2 + C6H12O6 --> CO2 + H20
The volumes of gases exchanged within a plant change as rates of photosynthesis and respiration change:
· During photosynthesis, CO2 is used and so diffuses into the cells –…
