What is the process that plants use to trap light energy?
Photosynthesis
View source
What type of reaction is photosynthesis?
Endothermic
reaction
View source
From what does a seedling derive its energy to grow?
Light energy trapped by
photosynthesis
View source
Where does photosynthesis take place in a plant?
In the
leaves
View source
What green chemical in leaves absorbs light energy?
Chlorophyll
View source
What are the inputs for photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide
and
water
View source
What is produced as a result of photosynthesis?
Glucose
and
oxygen
View source
What is the word equation for photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide
+ water →
glucose
+ oxygen
View source
What is the chemical formula for carbon dioxide?
CO<sub>2</sub>
View source
What is the chemical formula for water?
H<sub>2</sub>O
View source
What is the chemical formula for glucose?
C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>12</sub>O<sub>6</sub>
View source
What is the chemical formula for oxygen?
O<sub>2</sub>
View source
What happens to the rate of photosynthesis when light intensity is increased?
The rate of photosynthesis
increases
View source
What does it indicate if increasing light intensity increases the rate of photosynthesis?
Light intensity was a
limiting factor
View source
What happens when light intensity is increased beyond a certain point?
The rate of
photosynthesis
levels off
View source
What is the limiting factor when light intensity is no longer increasing the rate of photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide
level
View source
What happens to the rate of photosynthesis when carbon dioxide levels are increased?
The rate of photosynthesis
increases
View source
What does it indicate if increasing carbon dioxide levels increases the rate of photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide was a
limiting factor
View source
What are two other factors that can affect the rate of photosynthesis?
Amount of
chlorophyll
and
temperature
View source
How does temperature affect the enzymes involved in photosynthesis?
Higher temperatures increase enzyme
activity
View source
What happens to enzymes if the temperature continues to increase?
They
denature
and the rate falls
View source
What are the main stages of photosynthesis?
Light absorption by
chlorophyll
Conversion of
carbon dioxide
and water into
glucose
Production of
oxygen
View source
What factors affect the rate of photosynthesis?
Light intensity
Carbon dioxide level
Amount of
chlorophyll
Temperature
