Photosynthesis

Cards (9)

What is the reaction called that plant use to trap light energy?
Photosynthesis
Why is photosynthesis an endothermic reaction ?
because it takes in energy
Where does photosynthesis take place?
in the chloroplast of leaves
What does chlorophyll do ?
it absorbs the light energy
What is the word equation for photosynthesis ?
Carbon dioxide+water (light energy is used to convert the Co2)--->glucose+oxygen
What is the process of photosynthesis ?
plant takes Co2 and water into the leaves
light energy is the absorbed by chlorophyll
light energy is used to convert the Co2 and water into sugar molecules
in that process oxygen is also produced
What happens when the light intensity is zero?Why ?
the rate of photosynthesis is zero because plants need light to carry it out
What happens when there is more light energy?Why?
the rate of photosynthesis is faster becuase there is more light
If the light intensity increase and the rate of photosynthesis also increases,this means that the light intensity was limiting
