Word equation for photosynthesis
Carbon Dioxide + Water -> Glucose + Oxygen
1 of 9
Balanced symbol equation for photosynthesis
6CO2 + 6H2O -> C6H12O2 + 6O2
2 of 9
Three things that affect rate of photosynthesis
Temperature, light intensity and CO2 levels
3 of 9
Seven things glucose (as a result of photosynthesis) is used for
amino acids -> growth and repair, Sucrose (fruits), fats and oils (storage and cell membrane), starch (storage), cellulose (cell walls), Nucleic acids and Respiration
4 of 9
What's needed to produce glucose and starch
Chlorophyll
5 of 9
Through which part do mineral salts and water enter the plant
Roots
6 of 9
Why is water so important in the process of absorbing mineral salts
Plants can only absorb minerals dissolved in waters
7 of 9
Three ways the rate of photosynthesis can be decreased
Low light intensity, low temperature and low CO2 levels
8 of 9
Why does photosynthesis stop if it gets too hot
Stomata in the leaves close up to conserve moisture, so the plant shuts down and photosynthesis doesn't occur
