- Photosynthesis
- Can only be carried out by green plants and algae.
- CO2 + HZO > Glucose + Oxygen
- Chloroplast contain chlorophyll which absorb the sun's light energy which is needed for photosynthesis to occur.
- 1. Water is taken in by the leaves and water is taken in by the roots.
- 2. Chlorophyll traps the light energy needed for photosynthesis.
- 3. The light energy is used to convert the CO2 and H2O into glucose.
- 2. Chlorophyll traps the light energy needed for photosynthesis.
- Oxygen is released as a by-product of photosynthesis.
- Glucose can be converted into insoluble starch for storage.
- By testing leaves with iodine solution we can identify the starch in the leaf to show that photosynthesis has occurred.
