bioenergetics Flashcards
aerobic respiration equation
glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + energy (as ATP).
anaerobic respiration
Glucose → ethanol + carbon dioxide + energy (2 ATP)
what is anaerobic respiration
occurs without oxygen and releases less energy but more quickly than aerobic respiration
what is aerobic respiration
A chemical process in which oxygen is used to make energy from carbohydrates
does anaerobic respiration require oxygen
No
does aerobic respiration require oxygen
Yes
what is photosynthesis
the process by which plants make carbohydrates from raw materials, using energy from light
what is the equation of photosynthesis
6CO2+6H2O→C6H12O6+6O2
what does chlorophyll do in photosynthesis
chlorophyll traps light
what is glucose used for in plants
Glucose is required for respiration
Glucose can be stored as starch.
limiting factors of photosynthesis
carbon dioxide, light intensity, temperature
what features do u need to create a ideal environment for plant growth
heat, light, carbon dioxide concentration
explain why plants cant photosynthesise in night
at night its dark. light becomes a limiting factor
what is metabolism
The chemical changes that take place in a cell or an organism
what is catobolism
the breakdown of complex molecules in living organisms to form simpler ones, together with the release of energy
