What is the correctly balanced equation for photosynthesis?
6CO2 + 6H2O -> C6H12O6 + 6O2
CO2 + H2O -> CH2O + O2
C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O
In a greenhouse, tomato plants grow faster if the temperature is increased. What does this show?
Temperature must be a limiting factor.
Light intensity must be a limiting factor.
Carbon dioxide concentration must be a limiting factor.
In an investigation into photosynthesis in a water plant, why are the number of gas bubbles produced counted?
To see how fast the plant used up carbon dioxide.

Which tissue in the leaf absorbs the most light for photosynthesis?
Upper epidermis
