IB Biology SL C1.3.2 CO₂ → glucose
Practise using experiments and plant contexts to show how CO2 is taken in during photosynthesis and converted into glucose or other carbon compounds.
How this is tested
- predict indicator colour changes when plants remove CO2 in the light
- explain why darkness prevents plants from converting CO2 into glucose
- link glucose production to starch, oils or other carbon compounds in plants
