carbon dioxide + water ---> glucose + oxygen
1 of 7
plants make glucose during photosynthesis. some of the glucose is changed into insoluble starch. what happens to this starch?
the startch is used for later use. it is stored in roots, stems and leaves ready for use when photosynthesis isn't happening, like in winter.
2 of 7
where does photosyntheis happen?
it happens in chloroplasts, because they contain chlorophyll which uses sunlight to make photosynthesis happen.
3 of 7
what are the limiting factors for the rate of photosynthesis?
light, temperature and amount of carbon dioxide.
4 of 7
how is a pallisade cell adapted for photosynthesis?
it is packed with chloroplasts which are crammed at the top of the cell near the light.
5 of 7
what are guard cells for?
open and closes stomata
