Why is photosynthesis important?
It produces glucose which has a wide range of uses:
● Used in respiration to release energy
● Converted to starch and stored - broken down to glucose when the plant requires energy
● Used to make complex organic molecules which are used for growth, making up an organism’s biomass (transferred through food chains)

Explain how temperature affects the rate of photosynthesis● Higher temperatures provide more KE for enzymes involved in
photosynthesis so the rate increases as temperature rises
● The optimum temperature is usually 25°C
● If the temperature becomes too high (around 45°C) enzymes become denatured and the rate of photosynthesis decreases

Why does the rate of photosynthesis decrease as the distance from a light source increases? (higher)
Light intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the light source. Thus, as the distance increases, light intensity decreases and the rate of photosynthesis decreases.
