Where does photosynthesis occur
In the chloroplast of plant cells
What factors affect the rate of photosynthesis
Temperature Carbon dioxide concentration Light intensity Amount of chlorophyll
What are the uses of the glucose made in photosynthesis
Respiration in cells Converted to starch for storage Used to produce lipids for storage Used to produce cellulose Used to produce amino acids
Why do plants store glucose as starch
Glucose is soluble in water so affects the water balance of the plant Starch in insoluble so water has no effect
