By the end of this unit you should be
able to:






describe photosynthetic organisms as
the main producers of food and
biomass for life on Earth
describe the process of
photosynthesis
describe photosynthesis as an
endothermic reaction
describe experiments to investigate
photosynthesis
explain the effect of temperature,
light intensity and carbon dioxide on
the rate of photosynthesis
explain the interaction of these
factors in limiting the rate of
photosynthesis
This will include:

reactants and products, two stage
process, location of the reaction
