?
What is the equation for photosynthesis?
Carbon Dioxide + Water ---(light energy)----> Oxygen + Glucose
1 of 5
What is light energy absorbed by?
A green substance called chlorophyll, found in chloroplasts.
2 of 5
What 3 things may limit the rate of photosynthesis?
Shortage of light, low temperatures or shortage of carbon dioxide.
3 of 5
What 4 things can plants do with the glucose?
Used in respiration, to produce fat/oil for storage, to produce cellulose (which strengthens cell walls) and to produce proteins.
4 of 5
How else can plants produce proteins?
