Question | Answer |
Photosynthesis equation? | Carbon dioxide + water --> glucose + oxygen |
Energy required for photosynthesis | Light |
Layer in the leaf where most photosynthesis takes place | Palisade layer |
Plant cell structure where photosynthesis takes place | Chloroplast |
Green substance that absorbs light energy | Chlorophyll |
Reaction to release energy from the glucose made | Respiration |
Substance made to store glucose | Starch |
Substance made from glucose for cell walls | Cellulose |
Substance made from glucose used for growth | Protein |
Three limiting factors for photosynthesis | Light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration temperature |
Explain why light intensity affects photosynthesis rate | Light provides the energy needed for the reaction, more light = more energy = more reactions |
Describe the shape of the graph showing light intensity and photosynthesis rate | Increase then plateau (stays the same) |
Explain what it means when light intensity stops increasing the rate of photosynthesis | Light intensity is no longer the limiting factors, something else is |
Explain why carbon dioxide concentration affects rate of photosynthesis | Carbon dioxide is a raw material / reactant, more reactants = more reactions |
Describe shape of the graph of carbon dioxide concentration and rate of photosynthesis | Increase then plateau (stays the same) |
Explain why temperature affects photosynthesis rate | Photosynthesis is controlled by enzymes which are affected by enzymes |
Describe the shape of the graph for temperature and rate of photosynthesis | Bell shaped curve / increase then decrease |
Explain why temperature initially increases photosynthesis rate | Higher temperature = particles have more energy, move more, more collisions between enzymes and substrate |
Explain why after the optimum, temperature decreases photosynthesis rate | Enzymes denatured- active site changes shape and can no longer fit with substrate |
What is the chemical used to test for starch? | Iodine |
What are the two steps needed before adding iodine to a leaf to test for starch? | Boil leaf in water Soak in ethanol |
Why does the leaf need to be boiled before testing for starch? | Break down cell walls |
Why does the leaf need to be soaked in ethanol before testing for starch? | Remove chlorophyll |
What colour change is observed if starch is present? | Orange/brown to Blue/black |
