Igcse 2010 REVISION photosynthesis
- 1. Photosynthesis Mainly based on the exercises from http://www.biology-resources.com/biology-questions.html IGCSE Revision Questions http://biodeluna.wordpress.com
- 2. To start with: The Photosynthesis Song from Simple Science on Vimeo . Found at http://www.clickbiology.com/onlyphotosynthesis-song/
- 3. Which of these statements is most accurate? In bright sunlight a green plant will be photosynthesising only respiring only photosynthesising and respiring taking in oxygen and giving out CO2

- 7. A leaf is detached from a tree and tested with iodine. The leaf turns dark blue. What does this result tell you? (b) Why is this result not sufficient evidence to confirm that photosynthesis had taken place in the leaf? http://the-herb-store.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=21_27

Why is this result not sufficient evidence to confirm that photosynthesis had taken place in the leaf? http://the-herb-store.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=21_27 Starch is present . Unless the leaf is known to have been free from starch at the beginning of the experiment you cannot conclude that photosynthesis has occurred. The starch might be permanently present in this leaf. Also, in the absence of an experimental design (with a control ), there is no telling where the starch has come from. It might have been produced from sucrose which was transported to the leaf from another part of the plant.

- 14. What additional substances does a plant need to make amino acids and proteins from glucose? Where do these substances come from?
- 15. What additional substances does a plant need to make amino acids and proteins from glucose? Where do these substances come from? To make amino acids and proteins from glucose, a plant needs a supply of nitrate (for nitrogen ) and sulphate (for sulphur ).
- 16. What additional substances does a plant need to make amino acids and proteins from glucose? Where do these substances come from? To make amino acids and proteins from glucose, a plant needs a supply of nitrate (for nitrogen ) and sulphate (for sulphur ). These substances come from the soil.
- 17. Which of these processes increase the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere? (a) Respiration (b) Photosynthesis (c) Combustion (d) Decay
- 18. Which of these processes increase the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere? (a) Respiration (b) Photosynthesis (c) Combustion (d) Decay
- 19. Why do plants store some of the sugar they make as starch? http://www.s-cool.co.uk/gcse/biology/photosynthesis/test-its/photosynthesis-exam-testit.html
- 20. Why do plants store some of the sugar they make as starch? Plants could use starch or glucose. Starch is insoluble, while glucose is soluble. This means that if starch is used, less water is required to keep its food stored. http://www.s-cool.co.uk/gcse/biology/photosynthesis/test-its/photosynthesis-exam-testit.html

- 22. What gases will be taken in and given out by a green plant (a) in darkness, (b) in bright sunlight? furnitureclinic.co.uk taking in oxygen and giving out carbon dioxide.
- 23. What gases will be taken in and given out by a green plant (a) in darkness, (b) in bright sunlight? furnitureclinic.co.uk taking in oxygen and giving out carbon dioxide. taking in carbon dioxide giving out oxygen Water vapour will also be escaping from the leaf; more so in sunlight.
