what 5 conditions are needed for photosynthesis?
1- sunlight 2- CO2 3- H2O 4- chlorophyll 5- temperature
which 3 are limiting factors of photosynthesis?
1- temperature 2- CO2 3- sunlight (light intensity)
how does leaf arrangement & structure maximise photosynthesis? (9)
light - large SA - arrangement of leaves - transparent cuticle & epidermis - long & narrow mesophyll cells with lots of chloroplasts CO2 - numerous stomata -> short diffusion distance - stomata open & close - air space for rapid diffusion distance - thin -> short diffusion distance - vascular bundle network
which 2 structures in the chloroplasts are for light-dependent & light-independent reactions?
thylakoid - light-dependent stroma - light-independent
