Name the solution used to test a leaf for starch
Iodine solution
1 of 10
What is the result of the iodine test for starch?
The starchier areas will turn blue-black and the less starchy areas will turn yellowy brown
2 of 10
What is the word equation for photosynthesis?
carbon dioxide + water --> glucose + oxygen
3 of 10
Give three physical factors which affect the distribution of plants.
temperature, water and oxygen
4 of 10
Why would there be little point in heating a greenhouse on a summer's day?
It will be a waste of energy as it will be hot anyway. The rate of photosynthesis may stop as it will be too hot
5 of 10
What is meant by the term 'limiting factor' in photosynthesis?
Factors such as light, temperature and carbon dioxide which may prevent the rate of photosynthesis increasing above a certain point
6 of 10
How can you use a quadrat to make a line transect?
A line is marked between two point and then the quadrat is placed at regular intervals along along the line. The organisms in the quadrat are counted.
7 of 10
What is the difference between a mean and a median?
The mean is the total of all number divided by the amount of numbers and the median is the middle number
8 of 10
Why is it difficult to be sure an investigation in outdoor habitats is valid?
There are so many variables which are difficult to control
