Photosynthesis Analysis For photosynthesis to take place a plant must be supplied with carbon dioxide and water. It also requires light, suitable temperature and the presence of chlorophyll. CO2 + H2O CH2O O2 Carbon water carbohydrate oxygen dioxide A plant that grows quickly will need more stomata to obtain more carbon dioxide in order to increase the rate of photosynthesis. Plant leaves are rather like solar panels, they are broad and flat to trap light from the sun. Leaves have large numbers of tiny holes called stomata. Carbon dioxide enters the leaf through these pores and diffuses directly into the cells that need it, Oxygen escapes by the same route. Stomata; Pores surrounded by two specialised cells, guard cells. Unlike other epidermal cells they contain chloroplasts. Most of the cellulose microfibrils of the cell wall run across Most of the cellulose microfibrils of the cell wall run across the width of the cell, this allows the two cells to bend and...
