| What may limit the rate of photosynthesis? | Low temperature Shortage of carbon dioxide Shortage of light (These factors interact and any one of them may be the factor that limits photosynthesis) |
| Question about what is says on spec | ? |
| What can the glucose produced in photosynthesis be used for? | Respiration Production of fat or oil for storage Production of cellulose, which strengthens cell wall Production of proteins Converted into insoluble starch for storage |
| What do plants also use to produce proteins? | Nitrate ions that are absorbed from the soil |
| What conditions are carnivorous plants, such as the Venus Fly Trap, adapted to live in? | Nutrient-poor soil because they obtain most of their nutrients from the animals, such as insects, they catch |
