- Photosynthesis
- Carbon dioxide +water = glucose + oxygen
- 6CO2 + 6H2O = C6H12O6 + 6O
- energy is transfers from the environment to the chloroplast by light.
- This is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and also oxygen but this is formed as a by product
- This is an endothermic reaction meaning it takes in energy from its surroundings
- the leaves are well adapted to allow maximum amount of photosynthesis to take place
- Having thin walls so that diffusion distances for the gases are short
- They have short vines that bring plenty of water in to the xylem to the cells so the leaves and remove products is phtosytheisis in the Pholem.
- The rate of photosynthesis may be affected by light intensity, tempature, the level of carbon dioxide and the amount of chlorophyll
- plant and alge cells use the glucose produced for respiration
- It is used to convert it into insoluble starch to produce amino acids for protein synthesis.
- It's also used to produce amino acids for protein synthesis
- They also need nitrate ions that are absorbed from the soil or the water to make amino acids used to make proteins
- It is used to convert it into insoluble starch to produce amino acids for protein synthesis.
- The factors that limit the rate of photosynthesi interact and so any one of them may limit the process
- The limiting factors are so important in the economics of enhancing the conditions of greenhouses to gain the maximum rate of photosynthesis while still maintaining profit.
- Carbon dioxide +water = glucose + oxygen
