Kieron Fenn Biology coursework Photosynthesis. Green plants don't absorb from the soil. They make their own food, using sunlight. This is called photosynthesis, which actually means 'making through light'. It occurs in the cells of green plants, which are exposed, to light. Carbon + Water LIGHT Glucose + Oxygen Dioxide CHLOROPHYLL 6Co2 + H2O C6H12O2 + 6O2 Some of the glucose produced in photosynthesis is used immediately by the plant to provide energy via respiration. However, much of the glucose is converted into insoluble starch for storage in the stem, leaves or roots. In practice, TEMPERATURE, CARBONDIOXIDE, and LIGHT INTENSITY can interact to the limit of the rate of photosynthesis. Anyone of them in particular at a particular time may be the limiting factor. With photosynthesis the more intense the light or the more amount of light the plants get, the more photosynthesising the plant will do. This means that I will be able to predict that my graphs up to a certain extent will be...
