Photosynthesis uses energy from sunlight to build large ______ Molecules.
Food.
What three factors affect photosynthesis?
Temperature, Carbon Dioxide and Light Intensity.
What is the equation for photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide + water +(light energy) —> glucose + oxygen.
What is an enzyme? Where are they made?
Enzymes are are proteins that speed up chemical reactions. They are made in the cytoplasm, similar to amino acids.
What “Mechanism” do enzymes use? What does this mean?
Lock and Key, the substrate (The chemical that the enzyme work with) must be the correct shape to fit the active site of the enzyme.
The rate of an enzyme-controlled reaction increases as the _______ increases.
Temperature.
However high _______ and the extremes of __ levels stops the enzyme from changing shape of the active site.
Temperatures, pH.
What does aerobic respiration require?
Oxygen.
What is the word equation for aerobic respiration? What is the balanced symbol equation for this?
Glucose + Oxygen —> Carbon Dioxide + Water (+ energy release).
C^6H^12O^6 + 6O^2 —> 6CO^2 + 6H^2O (+ energy release).

Which two main type of cells use aerobic respiration?
Animal cells and Plant cells (and some microorganisms).
Where does anaerobic respiration take place?
Where oxygen is absent (or in very low concentration).
What is the anaerobic respiration word equation for animal cells (and some bacteria)?
Glucose —> Lactic Acid (+ energy released).
What is the anaerobic respiration word equation for plant cells and some microorganisms (such as yeast)?
Glucose —> Ethanol + Carbon Dioxide (+ energy released).
