Q

In the Elodea cell plasmolysis experiment, what happens to the central vacuole during plasmolysis?

A

During plasmolysis in an Elodea cell,

1) the central vacuole shrinks, it loses water through osmosis,

2) causing the cytoplasm to pull away from the cell wall and becoming visibly smaller

[The vacuole decreases in size due to the loss of water to the surrounding hypertonic solution]

Plasmolysis happens when a plant cell is in a hypertonic solution, meaning the solution has a high concentration of solutes, like salt. This causes water to flow out of the cell through exosmosis. If the plant cell loses too much water, it can die

Q

In the dialysis experiment, did glucose move outside the bag? Did starch move outside of the bag? Why or why not?

A

In a dialysis experiment, glucose would move outside the bag, while starch did not move through the bag.

  • glucose molecules are small enough to pass through the semipermeable membrane of the dialysis bag,
  • starch molecules are too large to do so.

55
Q

Describe the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll

Two distinct what?

What color?

Chlorophyll reflects what color? And it is due to what absorption?

A

The absorption spectrum of chlorophyll shows distinct peaks in the blue and red visible light spectrum,

meaning that chlorophyll primarily absorbs blue and red wavelengths of light, while reflecting green wavelengths, which is why plants appear green to the human eye

Green light reflection:
Due to its low absorption of green wavelengths, chlorophyll reflects this color, making plants appear green.

Importance for photosynthesis:
The absorption of blue and red light by chlorophyll is crucial for the process of photosynthesis, as this absorbed energy is used to power the chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose.

55
Q

Which of the following will we be measuring to see if photosynthesis is occurring in Activity 2: Light Intensity and Photosynthesis?
a. absorption of light
b. production of oxygen
c. production of glucose
d. consumption of carbon dioxide

64
Q

A

Electrons

65
Q

Identify the color and its corresponding wavelength that are the most capable of stimulating photosynthesis. regards to absorbance and transmittance, Explain why these color have the greatest influence.

A

Same wavelength

the reason these have the greatest influence is because plant absorbs energy from light stimulates photosynthesis

66
Q

what would you expect to happen to the rate of photosynthesis if you exposed a plant to an environment in which only green light was present? Explain

A

Because chlorophyll does not absorb green light, and because chlorophyll is the primary photosynthetic pigment, the plant would not absorb enough energy to stimulate photosynthesis.

67
Q

Write out the chemical equation for photosynthesis (know it)

Key points to remember:
This process occurs in the presence of sunlight, which is absorbed by chlorophyll in plant cells.

Photosynthesis is crucial for life on Earth as it produces the oxygen we breathe and the food that sustains most ecosystems.

A

Carbon dioxide + Water → Glucose + oxygen.

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Q

The two products of cell respiration (known as aerobic respiration) are carbon dioxide and water. As an Animal, you release carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. What do Plants do with this carbon dioxide?

A

Plants absorb CO2 (carbon dioxide) for photosynthesis to make glucose.

83
Q

Distinguish between aerobic respiration anaerobic respiration and fermentation

A

Aerobic respiration uses oxygen to produce energy

Anaerobic respiration does not use oxygen

[Example scenarios:]

Aerobic respiration:
When you run a marathon, your muscles primarily use aerobic respiration to generate energy from oxygen.

Anaerobic respiration:
When you sprint quickly, your muscles switch to anaerobic respiration, producing lactic acid as a byproduct due to the lack of sufficient oxygen.

Fermentation:
Yeast converting sugar into alcohol during winemaking is an example of fermentation.

84
Q

What is the gas produced by yeast that is being measured?

A

CO2 (carbon dioxide)

85
Q

What is the relationship between the amount of gas produced in the respirometer and the rate of yeast fermentation?

Is it inversely or directly proprtional ?

A

more CO2, more fermentation

directly proportional

86
Q

Yeast are microbes that provides the (energy / enzymes) [circle one] needed to break down sugars in the process of (alcohol / lactic acid) [circle on] fermentation.

This happens in an ( aerobic / anaerobic ) [circle one] environment with the final products produced being (CO2 and ethanol / lactic acid) [circle one]

A

Enzyme

Lactic acid

Anaerobic

CO2 and ethanol

87
Q

Describe the relationship between exercise, pulse rate, rate of cellular respiration and amount of CO2 produced.

A

As exercise intensity increases, pulse rate increases, exercise increases the rate of cellular respiration.
Oxygen promotes cellular respiration is produced
Our body increase the rate and depth of breathing, expelling excess carbon dioxide and bringing in more oxygen.

[Explanation]
Increased muscle activity:
During exercise, muscles need more energy (ATP) which is produced through cellular respiration, requiring more oxygen and generating more CO2 as a byproduct.

Pulse rate elevation:
To deliver this increased oxygen to muscles, the heart rate (pulse rate) increases, allowing for faster blood circulation.

Faster breathing rate:
The body compensates for the higher CO2 levels by increasing the rate and depth of breathing to expel the excess CO2.
