Photosynthesis and Limiting Factors

• Photosynthesis: Carbon Dioxide + Water -> Glucose + Oxygen
• chlorophyll is a green pigment for plants.
• Photosynthesis is endothermic.
• Nitrate ions are absorbed from the soil.
• Glucose combines with nitrate ions(from the soil) to make amino acids.
• Amino acids are made into proteins.
• Glucose is stored as starch
• Glucose uses in Photosynthesis:

  
  

  1. Converted into cellulose, making strong cell walls.
• Greenhouses are perfect for farming in ideal conditions.
• Greenhouses Trap the Suns heat
• Artificial Light can be used at night.
