Unit 5 Flashcards
, How are leaves adapted for
photosynthesis?
QUESTION
• Large surface area
• minimise overlapping
• thin short diffusion
• transparent cuticle and epidermis
• lots of chloroplasts
• lots of stomata open and close
• air spaces
• xylem and phloem
ANSWER
, What are the stages of
photosynthesis?
QUESTION
• Chlorophyll captures light
• conserved in chemical bonds
• electron flow splits water
• hydrogen ions produced
• protons produce organic
molecule
ANSWER
, What is photoionisation?
QUESTION
Light energy increases
electron pair energy become
excited and leave chlorophyll
becoming ionised electrons
reduce electron carrier
