Carbon Dioxide + Water ---> Glucose + Oxygen 2 of 13 What affects the rate of photosynthesis? Carbon Dioxide concentration, light intensity and temperature. 3 of 13 How is the leaf adapted for photosynthesis? Large amount of chloroplasts, large surface area and a large amount of stomata. 4 of 13 How does a large surface area and a large amount of stomata aid photosynthesis? Quicker gas diffusion and gas exchange between the air and leaf. 5 of 13 What mineral ions do plants require? Nitrate and magnesium 6 of 13 How do nitrates aid growth? To produce amino acids to make proteins 7 of 13 How does magnesium aid growth? To produce chlorophyll 8 of 13 What is glucose converted into for transport? Sucrose 9 of 13 What is glucose converted into for storage? Starch 10 of 13 What is glucose converted into for cell walls, proteins and DNA? Cellulose 11 of 13 What is glucose converted into for an energy store in the seeds? Lipids 12 of 13 Why are leaves thin and flat? So as much light as possible can be absorbed and the distances for gas diffusion are short. 13 of 13
