Symbol equation for photosynthesis?
6C02 + 6H20 = C6 H12 06 + 602
5 ways plants use glucose?
• Respiration • Making cellulose • Making amino acids • Stored as oils or fats • Stored as starch
4 factors of photosynthesis?
• Light intensity • CO2 • Temperature • Chlorophyll
What is the inverse square law?
Light intensity = 1/distance^2
How do greenhouses supply the 3 conditions for photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide - paraffin heater Light intensity - artificial light Temperature - trap the Sun’s heat
3 ways organisms use energy released by photosynthesis?
• Build up larger molecules from smaller ones • Muscle contractions for movement • Body temperature regulation
Equation for respiration in plants & yeast
Glucose = ethanol + carbon dioxide
