Bioenergetics

• Photosynthesis


  Process that produces glucose using light
• Photosynthesis


  • Carbon dioxide + water --(light)--> glucose + oxygen
• Photosynthesis


  Carbon dioxide + water --(light)--> glucose + oxygen
• Damage to chlorophyll or lack of nutrients can reduce the rate of photosynthesis
• The rate of photosynthesis increases as temperature increases up to an optimum temperature
• Above the optimum temperature, the rate of photosynthesis decreases
• Any of these three factors can become the limiting factor, meaning it's chopping photosynthesis from happening any faster
• Metabolism is all the chemical reactions that occur in living organisms
