Bioenergetics- Paper 1 Flashcards
What is a potometer?
A potometer is a special piece of apparatus used to measure the water uptake by a plant.
Environmental factors to be investigated- phototropism? 4
airflow, humidity, light intensity, temperature
• Airflow: Set up a fan or hairdryer
• Humidity: Spray water in a plastic bag and wrap around the plant
• Light intensity: Change the distance of a light source from the plant
• Temperature: Temperature of room (cold room or warm room)
Photosynthesis, word, and symbol equation?
Carbon dioxide+ water-> glucose+ oxygen
6co2+ 6H2o-> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Where photosynthesis takes place?
-claw past contains chlorophyll, absorbs light
-Light environment-> chloroplast
Is photosynthesis, endothermic or exothermic?
Endo thermic
-energy to the environment
Fiveways glucoses is used in plants?
- Respiration= transfer energy from glucose enables plants to convert the rest of the glucose into various useful substances.
- Cellouse= glucose converted to Celsius, making a strong plant cell walls.
- Amino acids= glucose and nitric ions
- Oils and fats.= glucose turned into lipids for storing seeds.
- Starch= glucose. Turn starch in roots stems leaves ready for use in photosynthesis were not happening in winter starches insoluble better storing Bing glucose soluble, drawing loads of water and then swell up
Limiting factors of photosynthesis?
Light, carbon dioxide concentration and temperature
-Depending on environmental conditions
How to investigate the effect of exercise? 5 points
1)take Puls= sitting down for five minutes
2)gently walking for five minutes.
3)Jogging for five minutes
4)running for five minutes
5)plot a bar chart.
Affects of exercise?
-breathing rate, counting breaths
-Heart rate, taking pulse two fingers on your rist
Results of exercise?
-The pulse rate increases as the more intense exercise, more oxygen to muscles needed to take carbon dioxide away from the muscles
-Reduce the effect of any random errors, doing a group plot, an average pulse rate for the exercise
Photosynthesis Rate experiment (4)?
1)Place a piece of pondweed into a beaker of water in a boiling tube with a thermometer
2)Use a light a set distance from the plant
3)Record the number of bubbles observed in 2 minutes
4)Repeat steps for different distances using a ruler
Aerobic respiration?
-Oxygen most efficient happens, all the time occurs in the mitochondria
Aerobic respiration word + symbol equation?
Glucose+ oxygen= carbon dioxide+ water
C6H12O6+ 6O2= 6Co2+ 6H2o
When anaerobic respiration, and why?
-vigourous, exercise body can’t supply enough oxygen to the muscles= anaerobic
-Without oxygen in complete breakdown of glucose=lactic acid
anaerobic respiration equation?
Glucose-> lactic acid
Why does anaerobic respiration not transfer as much energy?
Glucose isn’t fully oxidised doesn’t combine with oxygen
-Only useful in emergencies
anaerobic in plants and yeast different how?
-Camry spider without oxygen, they produce ethanol and carbon dioxide instead of lactic acid
Where equation for fermentation?
-glucose-> ethanol + co2
What is it called in yeast cells?
Fermentation
Where is fermentation used?
-food and drink industry= bread, and alcoholic drinks
-bread= co2 from it to makes bread rise
-Beer and wine= alcohol (ethanol)
What is respiration?
Many reactions transfer energy to sells needed to do everything
-Process of transferring energy from breakdown of glucose, which goes into every sale, all living things respire
Is respiration, endothermic or exothermic?
Exothermic
transfers energy to the environment
How do organisms use energy transferred by respiration?
- Build up larger molecules from smaller ones
- muscles to contract they can move about.
3.keep body temperature steady in colder surroundings.
What is metabolism?
-Some of all reactions happen in a cell or body
Reactions larger molecules are made from smaller ones. 2 Example?
- glucose molecules=starch, glycogen cellulose
- Glucose and nitrate ions.= amino acids= proteins
