Living things and photosynthesis
  1. Photosynthesis
    1. Light?
      1. Energy from the light drives photosynthesis, so increasing the amount of light a plant receives increases the rate of photosynthesis.
        1. The graph shows us that:
          1. At low light intensities, increasing the amount of light increases the rate of photosynthesis
            1. At a certain point increasing the amount of light stops having an effect on the rate of photosynthesis
        2. Factors that increase it:
          1. Light
            1. Carbon dioxide
              1. Water
                1. Chlorophyll
                  1. A higher temperature to speed up the reaction
                  2. Limiting factors
                    1. Cold weather
                      1. Winter-Long periods of darkness
                        1. Too much water
                          1. Stomata close to prevent water diffusing out of the leaves, and this also has the unavoidable consequence of reducing carbon dioxide diffusion into the leaf.
                      2. Features of living things
                        1. Movement
                          1. Respiration
                            1. Sense
                              1. Excretion
                                1. Feeding
                                  1. Reproduction
                                    1. Growth
                                    2. Environments and adaptations
                                      1. Habitats of plants and their locations
                                        1. Woodland is a rich habitat for plants and animals. Sunlight is absorbed by tall trees, which hold their leaves up for maximum photosynthesis. Some light gets through from breaks in the canopy and provide sunlight for some plants. Most of the floor of the woodland is in shade though so only shady plants grow there. Each plant has to be specialised to survive in different conditions.
                                          1. Quadrats
                                            1. A square grid which is used to survey the plants in a square meter.
                                              1. Plant growth is recorded as a percentage % and the area the Quadrat is placed is random. This removes bias' and allows reliable comparison with two areas. When samples are taken along a straight line it is called a transect. This is useful to show a change in environment from areas such as a wood to an open field.
                                        2. Living things
                                          1. Made up of cells. Cell-The basic structural and functional unit of all living things
                                            1. Some are single-celled like bacteria.
                                              1. Others have billions of cells like humans and mammals.
