IGCSE BIOLOGY 
B4 PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Before you start look back at 9CD Plants and Photosynthesis.


If you only remember one thing:


Photosynthesis:

CARBON DIOXIDE + WATER -----LIGHT ENERGY AND CHLOROPHYLL------->  GLUCOSE + OXYGEN 

(The reason that plants do photosynthesis is to produce GLUCOSE)

This is the fourth of the 11 Biology units:
B1. Characteristics of Living Organisms 
B2. Cells
B3. Enzymes 
B4. Nutrition

B5. Transportation
B6. Respiration
B7. Coordination and Response
B8. Reproduction
B9. Inheritance
B10. Energy Flow in Ecosystems 
B11. Human Influences on the Ecosystem
back to B4 human nutrition and B3 enzymes
