1
Q
what happens to lactic acid after exercise
A
some converted to glucose then stored as glycogen
some is oxidised into co2 and water
2
Q
what’s aerobic respiration
A
oxygen + glucose = co2 and water
large amounts of energy released
3
Q
what’s happens to glucose created in photosynthesis
A
- some stores as starch
- some used to make cellulose
- some used for respiration
- with nitrate creates ameno acids used to make protein for growth
4
Q

A
benedict solution
5
Q
photosynthesis equation
A
6co2 + 6H2O = C6H12O6 + 6o2
6
Q
what type of reactions is photosynthesis
A
exothermic
7
Q
reactants and products in anaerobic and aerobic respiration in plants
A
aerobic : glucose + oxegyn = carbon dioxide and water
anaerobic : glucose = ethanol and carbon dioxide
