B4 bioenergetics Flashcards
what is the equation for photosynthesis
carbon dioxide + water –> glucose + oxygen
what is the equation for glucose
C6H12O6
what s the inverse square law
light intensity is inversely proportional 1/distance^2
what are some uses of glucose
-respiration
-turned into insoluble starch for storage
-produce fat and oil for storage
-produce cellulose
-combine with nitrate to make amino acids
what type of reaction is respiration
exothermic
what is aerobic respiration
-uses oxygen
-yields the most energy
what is anaerobic respiration
-occurs when there is not enough oxygen
-does not yield as much energy
-
how is respiration increased when excising
-heart rate increase
-breathing rate increase
-breath volume increasing
