1. Oxygen is a by-product (leftover, waste product)
6.2 Photosynthesis pp
Photosynthesis Process = plant cells use light energy to rearrange water and carbon dioxide molecules into sugar molecules
Oxygen is a by-product (leftover, waste product)
Energy now stored in the sugar

2. 6 H2O + 6 CO2 + light ----------> C6H12O6 + 6 O2
6.2 Photosynthesis pp
6 H2O CO2 + light > C6H12O O2
6 waters Carbon Dioxides → 1 sugar oxygen molecules
Stoma = pores on the surface of plant that gases and water can move through

3. The rate of photosynthesis is affected by environmental factors:
6.2 Photosynthesis pp
The rate of photosynthesis is affected by environmental factors:
Explain the relationship between CO2 concentration and rate of photosynthesis.

4. The rate of photosynthesis is affected by environmental factors:
6.2 Photosynthesis pp
The rate of photosynthesis is affected by environmental factors:
Why does the rate of photosynthesis level off even as the light intensity continues to increase?

5. The rate of photosynthesis is affected by environmental factors:
6.2 Photosynthesis pp
The rate of photosynthesis is affected by environmental factors:
Why might the rate of photosynthesis decrease past a certain temperature?
What is the optimal temperature for photosynthesis?

6. 6.2 Photosynthesis pp
Calvin Cycle = series of chemical reactions in which is CO2 converted into C6H12O6 (sugar)
Carbons are rearranged like lego pieces
ATP molecules provide the energy to drive it
ATP = ENERGY
