This quiz contains 12 questions from a mix of 1 subtopics.
What is the role of chlorophyll?
To attract bees
To provide strength to the leaf
To absorb light energy for photosynthesis
|
Why may plants produce insufficient chlorophyll?
(Select all that apply)
They don't have enough oxygen
They have a disease like Tobacco Mosaic Virus
They lack the required nutrients
They grow too tall
|
In addition to the amount of chlorophyll that a plant has, there are three environmental factors that affect the rate of photosynthesis. List them below.
|
Given the shape of the graph above, which variable(s) could be on the x axis?
(Select all that apply)
Carbon dioxide concentration
Temperature
Light intensity
Oxygen concentration
|
Using what you know about how different factors affect the rate of photosynthesis, which factor would give the above graph?
|
What is limiting the rate of photosynthesis at the point labelled in the graph?
Temperature
Carbon dioxide concentration
Light intensity
|
When a graph levels off like this we say that it has:
Reached equilibrium
Plateaued
Stopped
|
At the point indicated on the graph above, what could be limiting the rate of photosynthesis?
(Select all that apply)
Carbon dioxide concentration
Light intensity
Temperature
|
Describe and explain how the rate of photosynthesis varies with temperature.
|
sunlight / lamps / greenhouses / pests / thieves / fertilisers
Farmers in cooler climates often use . These help trap the heat energy from , and so increase the temperature. They also keep out which could otherwise damage the plants.
|
How can farmers ensure that photosynthesis takes place 24 hours a day?
Use greenhouses
Use paraffin heaters
Use artificial lighting
|
Paraffin heaters have two benefits. As the paraffin (a type of fuel) is burned it releases lots of heat, and also lots of:
light
carbon dioxide
pesticides
oxygen
