18
Q

what is energy used for in the body?

A

-synthesis of polymers
-movement
-to stay warm

19
Q

aerobic respiration symbol equation

A

C6H1206 + 602 –> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP

20
Q

what is the energy from respiration used for?

A

-active transport of substances in and out of cells
-DNA replication
-muscle contractions

21
Q

what types of anaerobic respiration are there?

A

-respiration in humans
-fermentation in yeast cells

22
Q

how does anaerobic respiration work?

A

-during strenuous exercise your heart rate cannot increase fast enough to meet the oxygen demand for the cells
-the body transfers energy from glucose by anaerobic respiration without oxygen

23
Q

symbol equation for anaerobic respiration

A

C6H12O6 –> C3H6O3 + ATP

24
Q

lactic acid

A

-toxic to cells
-oxygen reacts with lactic acid and breaks it down
-heavy breathing allows you to inhale extra oxygen
-the oxygen needed for this is called the oxygen debt

25
Q

what does anaerobic respiration in plants produce?

A

ethanol + carbon dioxide

26
Q

chemical test for starch

A

iodine solution

27
Q

what colour does iodine turn if starch is present?

A

brown / black

28
Q

chemical test for protein

A

biurets solution

29
Q

what colour does biurets solution turn if proteins are present?

A

violet

30
Q

chemical test for reducing sugars

A

benedicts solution–> must heat in water bath for two minutes

31
Q

what colour does benedicts solution turn if reducing sugars are present?

A

brown / orange

32
Q

chemical test for lipids

A

-ethanol
-pour the mixture into another test tube containing water and shake vigorously

33
Q

what colour does ethanol turn if lipids are present?

A

cloudy
