Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis

This series of questions will help learners to evaluate their understanding of how cells capture energy from light and transfer it to biological molecules for storage. These questions will also help learners to evaluate their understanding of specialized organelles involved in the capture and use of energy. Learners will also explore the relationship between environmental variables (temperature and carbon dioxide concentration) and the rate of photosynthesis.
