Bioenergetics Flashcards
Word equation for photosynthesis
Carbon dioxide + water >(light)> oxygen + glucose
Symbol equation for photosynthesis
6CO2 + 6H2O > C6H12O6 + 6O2
What type of reaction is photosynthesis
endothermic
5 uses of glucose
Respiration, stored as startch , make fat and oils,make cellulose , make amino acids
Limiting factors of photosynthesis
Temperature,light,carbon dioxide
explain what happens to rate of photosynthesis when the temperature is too low
the rate of photosynthesis is limited by the number of collisions between enzymes and substrate.
explain what happens to rate of photosynthesis when the temperature is too high
Rate of photosynthesis increases
What must farmer consider when growing plants in a green house
temperature, humidity, and light
What is metabolism
the chemical reactions in the body’s cells that change food into energy.
What affects the metabolic rate
Age , gender , physical activity
Why do organisms need energy ?
to grow and reproduce, maintain their structures, and respond to their environments.
What type of reaction is respiration
Exothermic
What type of reaction uses oxygen
Oxidation reactions
what type of reaction uses the least amount of oxygen
Anaerobic respiration
What is the word equation for aerobic respiration
glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + energy.
