Key Questions:

1. What products are made in photosynthesis when carbon dioxide and water react?
   • In photosynthesis carbon dioxide and water react to make glucose and oxygen.
2. What sort of reaction is photosynthesis and how do we know this?
   • Photosynthesis is an endothermic reaction and we know this because Energy is taken into the chloroplasts from the environment by light.
3. What five different uses do plants have for the glucose produced in photosynthesis?
   • The glucose produced in photosynthesis may be: - used for respiration - converted into insoluble starch for storage - used to produce fat or oil for storage - used to produce Cellulose, which strengthens the Cell wall - used to produce amino acids for protein synthesis.
4. What else do plants need to produce proteins and where do they get them from?
   • To produce proteins, plants also use nitrate ions that are absorbed from the soil.
