Photosynthesis

• Photosynthesis is where photosynthetic organisms, such as green plants and alga, use energy from a light source to make glucose.

  Photosynthesis happens inside Chloroplasts which contain Chlorophyll and absorb light.

  • It is an Endothermic Reaction
• Light

  Carbon dioxide + water ———> glucose +oxygen

  6CO2 + 6H2O — — —> C6H12O6 + 6O2
• Oxygen production shows the rate of Photosynthesis
• Rate of Photosynthesis -

  • Not enough light slows down the production of Photosynthesis
  • Not enough carbon dioxide slows down the rate
  • The temperature must be just right
