Describe an experiment

to investigate
photosynthesis.
If the temperature is
increased what happens
to the rate of
photosynthesis?
How do you check for
starch in a leaf?
What are two adaptions
of a leaf?
If the CO2 concentration
is decreased what
happens to the rate opt
photosynthesis?
What ions are needed
for amino acids?
If the light intensity is
decreased what happens
to the rate of
photosynthesis?
What ions are needed
for chlorophyll?
If the temperature is
decreased what happens
to the rate of
photosynthesis?
What is the chemical
equation for
photosynthesis?
1a
It will stop
photosynthesising.
Put pondweed under water change the
limiting factors (CO2: Baking Powder,
Light: Light, Temperature: Temperature)
and check the rate of photosynthesis
through counting the oxygen bubbles or
oxygen displacement.
1. Large Surface Area:
More Sunlight.
2. Thin so gas exchange
can happen easily.
Use Iodine Solution.
Nitrate ions
The rate of
photosynthesis
decreases.
Magnesium ions
The rate of
photosynthesis
decreases.
6CO2 + 6H2O -> 6O2 +
C6H12O6
It will stop working or
decrease.
1b
What is the job of the
Lower Epidermis?
What is the process of
photosynthesis.
What is the job of the
Palisade Mesophyll?
What is the worded
equation for
photosynthesis?
What is the job of the
Spongy Mesophyll?
Where can the Lower
Epidermis be found?
What is the job of the
Upper Epidermis?
Where can the Palisade
Mesophyll be found?
What is the job of the
Waxy Cuticle?
Where can the Spongy
Mesophyll be found?
2a
1. Absorbing light energy in the
chlorophyll
2. Then that energy is used to make
CO2 and H2O into glucose
3. Glucose is used in Respiration
4. Oxygen is another product
To allow gases in and out.
Closed at night to prevent
water loss. Contains guard
cells to open and close the
stomata.
Carbon Dioxide + Water
-> sunlight ->
chlorophyll -> Oxygen +
Glucose
Tightly packed and
contain many
chloroplasts. Main job:
to photosynthesise.
It can be found under
the Spongy Mesophyll.
To allow gas exchange.
Loosely arranged and
have many airspaces.
It can be found under
the Upper Epidermis.
Thin, flat and transparent (no
chloroplasts) to maximise
photosynthesis through light
intensity.
It can be found under
the Palisade Mesophyll.
It's job is to stop
microorganisms from
entering the leaf and to
stop water evaporating.
2b
Where can the upper
epidermis be found?
Where can the Waxy
Cuticle be found?
3a
Under the Waxy Cuticle.
In the top layer of the
leaf.
