- Photo Synthesis
- Equation
- Carbon Dioxide + Water -------> Glucose + Oxygen
- 6CO2 + 6H2O -----> C6H12O6 + 6O2
- How
- Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll which absorb light energy
- Chroplasts use the energy from the sun to convert Carbon Dioxide and Water into Glucose
- Oxygen is a waste product and leaves through the stomata
- Carbon dioxide enters the leaf through the stomata
- Water is taken up in the roots and root hair cells by diffusion
- Rate / Limiting Factors
- Temperature
- Light Intensity
- Concentration of Carbon Dioxide
- Glucose
- Converted into starch for storage
- Used for respiration
- Make chemicals to grow
- Leaf adaptions
- Big surface area for light to be absorbed
- Lots of chloroplasts and chlorophyll
- Air spaces so CO2 can get into the leaf
- Good water supply (veins)
- Equation
