Photosynthesis

Carbon dioxide + water creates carbohydrates and oxygen

Carbon dioxide + water creates carbohydrates and oxygen

Written reaction

Photolysis

The H needed for the creation of carbohydrates comes from ——

Oxygen

Diffuses out of chloroplasts and out of leaf cells into air outside leaves through stoma

First stage of photosynthesis

Absorption of sunlight by different pigments, photosynthesis mainly uses chlorophyll (look green to us)

Absorption spectra

A graph showing the percentage of light absorbed at each wavelength by a pigment or group of pigments

Limiting factors of photosynthesis

Co2, light intensity, wavelength

6CO₂+6H₂O —> C₆H₁₂O₆+6O₂

Photosynthesis reaction

Photosynthesis

An energy conversion of light energy to chemical energy in carbon compounds
