- Photosynthesis (4.4.1.)
- Photosynthesis Reaction (4.4.1.1.)
- Photosynthesis is an endothermic reaction that can be represented by the equation:
- Carbon Dioxide + Water. (light) ---------> Glucose + Oxygen
- CO? is the chemical formula for Carbon Dioxide
- H?O is the chemical symbol for Water.
- O? is the chemical formula for Oxygen
- C?H??O? is the chemical formula of Glucose
- Photosynthesis is an endothermic reaction that can be represented by the equation:
- Rate of Photosynthesis (4.4.1.2.)
- Explain the effects of temperature, light intensity, carbon dioxide concentrationand the amount of chlorophyll on the rate of photosynthesis.
- Explain graphs of photosynthesis rate involving two or three factors and decide which is the limiting factor.
- Explain how: limiting factors are important in embracing the conditions in greenhouses to gain the maximum rate of photosynthesis while still maintaining profit.
- Uses of Glucose from Photosynthesis (4.4.1.3.)
- The glucose produced in photosynthesis may be:
- used for respiration.
- converted into insoluble starch for storage.
- used to produce fat or oil for storage.
- used to produce cellulose, which strengthens the cell wall.
- used to produce amino acids for protein synthesis.
- Plants also use nitrate ions (absorbed from the soil) to produce proteins
- The glucose produced in photosynthesis may be:
