Plant structures and their functions

Green plants and algae use light energy to make glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water. Temperature, carbon dioxide concentration and light intensity can affect the rate of photosynthesis.

This interactive quiz is suitable for GCSE combined science students studying factors affecting photosynthesis and interpreting photosynthesis test results.

This interactive quiz is suitable for GCSE combined science students studying interpreting photosynthesis test results, and distance and light intensity.

Plant leaves are adapted for photosynthesis and gas exchange. Roots absorb water and mineral ions through root hair cells and are transported up the plant by the xylem.

Understanding how to approach exam questions helps to boost exam performance. Question types will include multiple choice, structured, mathematical and practical questions.
