Photosynthesis: an endothermic process that takes place in chloroplasts

The requirements and products of photosynthesis: practical

Pupils will learn more about aerobic and anaerobic cellular respiration, including the chemical reactants and products of the processes, and practical ways to measure the rate of cellular respiration in living cells.

Pupils learned how hormones and glands of the human endocrine system enable us to coordinate and control changes in our bodies.

This unit explores photosynthesis as the basis for food and biomass, examines cell structure and adaptations in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells, and covers the photosynthesis process. It focuses on using models and theories to develop hypotheses, interpret data, and present reasoned explanations.

Photosynthesis: requirements and products

A model contains __________ of the features and details of the real thing.

This is a simple 2D model of the subcellular structure in which photosynthesis takes place. What is the name of this structure?

A word summary is a simple model of photosynthesis. Complete the word summary.

A balanced symbol equation is a simple model of photosynthesis. Complete the equation.

In the two-stage model of photosynthesis, which stage requires energy from light?

The first stage of photosynthesis splits water molecules into oxygen (a waste product) and {{}} ions (which are used in the second stage).

What is reactant **A** in the word summary of photosynthesis?

What is product **B** in the word summary of photosynthesis?

What should be added to represent water in the balanced symbol equation for photosynthesis?

What should be added to represent oxygen in the balanced symbol equation for photosynthesis?

The diagram shows a simple, 2D model of a plant cell. In which subcellular structure does photosynthesis take place?

Chloroplasts contain a pigment called {{}}, to which the energy required for photosynthesis is transferred by light.
