name 4 ways glucose is used
Respiration
starch for storage
cellulose - cell walls
making amino acids
name an independent variable in the pondweed practical
light intensity
name 3 ways respiration is used
Warmth
Movement
Chemeical reactions
what are the uses for respiration
warmth
movement
chemical reaction
what is anerobic respiration
glucose —> lactic acid
respiration without oxygen which causes a build up of lactic acid
lactic acid causes fatigue
to remove the lactic acid it creates a condition called oxygen debt
why does anaerobic respiration produce less energy
glucose isnt completely broken down
what happens to lactic acid in the body
gets transported to the liver via the bloodstream where it is converted back
to glucose
to remove the lactic acid oxygen is required
what is oxygen debt
the amount of extra oxygen the body needs after exercise to deal with the lactic acid
whats the equation for anaerobic respiration i plants
glucose —>ethanol + carbon dioxide
what is metabolism
sum of all reactions in a cell or body
what are all the reactions in metablism
glucose —> starch, glucose and cellulose
fatty acids –> lipids(fats)
respiration
breakdown of excess proteins (urea)
