Explain the advantage of expressing results as ratios.
Allows valid comparison; Sample size may vary

During the light independent reaction of photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is converted into organic substances. Describe how.
Carbon dioxide combines with RuBP; Produces 3 GP; GP reduced to TP; Using reduced NADP; Using energy from ATP; TP converted to glucose

Explain how human activities have contributed to global warming.
Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas; Deforestation results in less CO2 being absorbed via photosynthesis; Combustion produces CO2; Methane is a greenhouse gas; Methane produced from cattle and landfills
