The main variables which affect photosynthesis are light, water, CO2 concentration and temperature.
On a deeper level, other factors like amount of chlorophyll, availability of nutrients (eg Mg is needed for chlorophyll synthesis) will also affect the rate of photosynthesis, though these are rarely covered in discussion of this topic.
The thing is that photosynthesis will be held back by whichever factor is in shortest supply.
As I sit in my study in England, the sun is shining brightly, but the temperature outside is only 5ºC. I suspect the rate of photosynthesis is limited by temperature today.
Yesterday was a dull day, but in the middle of the day it was not cold and I suspect there wasn't enough light for photosynthesis. If I had turned the security lights on my house on, the plants in my garden might (possibly) have photosynthesised faster.
In summer, some farmers growing crops in glasshouses actually increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the air as all their plants have plenty of water and light and the temperature is near the best possible for photosynthesis.
A good way to investigate this might be with the help of algae and you can use the 'Immobilised Algae' practical for this.
Although water is needed as a raw material for photosynthesis, don't bother trying to investigate water as a variable - plants normally wilt and wither long before water restricts photosynthesis at the biochemical level. They need water to support the plant to face the sun as well as a raw material of photosynthesis.
The simplest equation for photosynthesis:-
Carbon dioxide + water -----(in light, with chlorophyll and enzymes)----> sugar + oxygen
Temperature speeds up all chemical reactions - photosynthesis is no exception.
Enzymes work better in warm conditions (up to about 50ºC when enzymes start to be destroyed by heat).
The idea to get across is that different conditions will be most important on different occasions. This morning, my garden could do with more warmth - yesterday, it could do with more light / sun!
It becomes D. Groundwater
Answer:
Explanation:
A. False - A symporter system requires that one of the molecules to be transported using passive transport.
B. True - The Na+ will move down the established concentration gradient releasing energy to facilitate movement of sucrose against its concentration gradient. This is known as secondary active transport.
C. False - sucrose moves through ion channels not by diffusion to better control its movement across the membrane.
D. True - Movement of molecules against their concentration gradient thus requiring energy input is known as active transport.
E. False - One of the molecules needs to be moving against its concentration gradient.
F. False - A Uniporter system allows the binding and transport of a single molecule at a time. A symporter allows simultaneous binding and transport of Na+ and sucrose molecules.
Predator is an animal hunt.The prey is the animal that is being eaten by other animals. if there a lots of predators and few preys.the predators will compete for food
