Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis Process
Carbon Dioxide + Water (sunlight) --> Glucose + Oxygen
Factors affecting Photosynthesis
Limiting Factors
Light Intensity
As light intensity increases the rate of photosynthesis increases
Concentration of CO2
Increase in CO2 concentration will increase in the rate of photosynthesis as it is incorporated with the carbohydrate in the light independent reaction
Optimum temperature
the reactions are catalyzed by enzymes and those enzymes approaches the optimum temperature which increases the rate of photosynthesis.
Needs
Sunlight
Carbon Dioxide
Water
To produce
Glucose
by product is Oxygen (O2)
Take place in Leaves
Leaves have specialized cell organelles called Chloroplast
Chloroplast contains chlorophyll
Chlorophyll is a natural pigment
Chlorophyll b(Second most numerous pigment)
Carotenoid (Provides different colors to plants)
Chlorophyll a(Main Photosynthetic pigment)
process where Light energy
converted into Chemical energy
Stromal Reaction
(Light Independent Reaction)
Calvin Cycle
C4 Photosynthesis
CAM photosynthesis
RUBISCO: Ribulose biphosphate carboxylase oxygenase
