Biology Coursework: Photosynthesis And Factors Affecting It Niall O'Connor Introduction: Green plants make their own food by the process of Photosynthesis. Four things are needed for photosynthesis to occur in the cells of green plants, light from the Sun, carbon dioxide which diffuses from the air, water from the soil and chlorophyll from the leaves of the plant. Photosynthesis produces glucose, which is used for biomass and energy and oxygen, which is released into the atmosphere. The Word & Symbol Equation For Photosynthesis: Carbon Dioxide + Water Glucose + Oxygen 6CO2 + 6H20 C6H12O6 + 6O2 Scientific Knowledge: Effect of Temperature: (Graph from Lonsdale science revision guide) Temperature can be a limiting factor upon photosynthesis as the rate of photosynthesis rises as the temperature rises. However once the temperature reaches 45 C, the enzymes controlling the photosynthesis become denatured and so photosynthesis is stopped. Effect Of Carbon Dioxide Concentration: (Graph from Lonsdale revision guide) The rate of photosynthesis will rise as...
