Write the word equation for photosynthesis - ANSWER- carbon dioxide+ water -> oxygen +
glucose
Write the symbol equation for photosynthesis. - ANSWER- 6CO2 + 6H2O -> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Name 4 factors that can affect the rate of photosynthesis. - ANSWER- LIGHT INTENSITY
CARBON DIOXIDE CONCENTRATION
TEMPERATURE
CHLOROPHYLL
Draw a graph to show how temperature affects the rate of photosynthesis. - ANSWER-
Draw a graph to show how light intensity affects the rate of photosynthesis. - ANSWER-
Draw a graph to show how the level of carbon dioxide affects the rate of photosynthesis. -
ANSWER-
Describe AND explain the graph of temperature versus rate of photosynthesis. - ANSWER- -
increasing temperature increases rate of photosynthesis (because temperature increases the speed
of chemical reactions)
- increasing the temperature too much causes the rate to fall again (because the enzymes have
denatured)
Describe AND explain the graph of light intensity versus rate of photosynthesis. - ANSWER-
the higher the light intensity the higher the rate of photosynthesis but it plateaus if the other factors
are not in supply
