CO2 is material<br />

providing Catom…for<br />

C6H12O6, pl<strong>an</strong>t<br />

food. (SU)<br />

Number of leaf <strong>an</strong>d<br />

amount of stoma<br />

affect the rate.<br />

High number <strong>an</strong>d<br />

amount causes high<br />

rate. (PU)<br />

Light causes of<br />

heat that separates<br />

H2O to provide the<br />

electron <strong>an</strong>d O2.<br />

The light phase<br />

takes place only in<br />

day time.<br />

(PU+MU)<br />

CO2 is ch<strong>an</strong>ged to<br />

C6H12O6, pl<strong>an</strong>t<br />

food. The dark<br />

phase takes place<br />

only in night time.<br />

(PU+MU)<br />

High number of<br />

chloroplast causes<br />

high CO2 fixation<br />

rate. (SU)<br />

H2O is separated<br />

to produce ½ O.<br />

This O then<br />

releases e - .<br />

(SU)<br />

C3-pl<strong>an</strong>ts <strong>an</strong>d C4pl<strong>an</strong>ts<br />

have<br />

different enzyme<br />

fixing CO2, so<br />

their<br />

photosynthesis<br />

rate is different<br />

too. (SU)<br />

(PU+MU)<br />

CO2 is reduced to<br />

sugar, pl<strong>an</strong>t food.<br />

O-atom in CO2<br />

also provides O2<br />

gas.(PU+MU)<br />

Each pl<strong>an</strong>t has<br />

different amount<br />

of chlorophyll<br />

fixing CO2, so<br />

the rate is<br />

different.<br />
