Photosynthesis is represented by the equation:
(light above arrow)
carbon dioxide + water -> glucose + oxygen |
|
What products are made in photosynthesis when carbon dioxide and water react? |
|
|
|
Students should be able to describe photosynthesis as an endothermic reaction in which energy is transferred from the environment to the chloroplasts by light. |
|
What sort of reaction is photosynthesis and how do we know this? use the students to model photosynthesis by getting someone to be the sun and handing the energy (heat pack) over to show endothermic. |
|
|
|
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. |
|
What five different uses do plants have for the glucose produced in photosynthesis? Circus task |
|
|
|
To produce proteins, plants also use nitrate ions that are absorbed from the soil. |
|
What else do plants need to produce proteins and where do they get them from? |
