Name the solution used to test a leaf for starch.
Iodine solution
1 of 7
What is the result of the iodine test for starch?
The regions containing starch will turn blue - black. Regions without starch will look yellowy - brown.
2 of 7
What is the word equation for photosynthesis?
carbon dioxide + water + light energy = glucose + oxygen
3 of 7
Give three physical factors which affect the distribution of plants
Three of: temperature, availability of nutrients, water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, amount of water
4 of 7
Why would there be little point in heating a green house on a summer's day?
It will be hot enough anyway, so it would be a waste of energy. The rate of photosynthesis may stop if the temperature becomes too high.
5 of 7
What is meant by the term 'limiting factors' in photosynthesis?
Factors, such as light, temperature and carbon dioxide, which might prevent the rate of photosynthesis increasing above a certain point.
6 of 7
How can you use a quadrat to make a line transect?
A line is marked between two points and then the quadrat is placed at regular intervals along the line. The organisms in the quadrat are counted
