photosynthesis

• plants make their own food by the form of

  gluclose
• after making glucose it is then stored in the

  plant
• glucose can be used for

  respiration or used to build new molecules
• photosynthesis is by which plants use light energy to create their own food from 


  carbon dioxide and water
• What is the process by which plants make their own food?

  Photosynthesis
• What form of food do plants produce during photosynthesis?

  Glucose
• What are the raw materials used in photosynthesis?

  Carbon dioxide and water
• What is the equation for photosynthesis?

  $\text{Carbon dioxide} +$$\text{Water} +$$\text{Light energy} \rightarrow \text{Glucose} +$$\text{Oxygen}$
• What organelles in plant cells contain chlorophyll?

  Chloroplasts
• What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

  It absorbs light energy
• What is an ideal environment for photosynthesis in winter?

  Heaters can be used to maintain warmth
• Where does most photosynthesis occur in plants?

  In the leaves
• What is the function of the glass structure mentioned in the study material?

  It traps heat from the sun to keep the plant warm
• What can be used to enable plants to continue photosynthesizing at night?

  Artificial lamps
• How does temperature affect the rate of photosynthesis?

  If it was warmer, photosynthesis would happen quicker
• What happens to the rate of photosynthesis with increased light?

  It would happen quicker
