Cellular Respiration/Photosynthesis and Cell Water Balance Flashcards
Plant cells contain both:
chloroplasts and mitochondria
Because plants contain both mitochondria and chloroplasts what can they perform?
Photosynthesis and aerobic respiration
What is produced during respiration?
carbon dioxide
What is consumed during photosynthesis?
carbon dioxide
CO2 and water combine to form what?
carbonic acid
The more CO2 in the water, what is also produced more?
acid
What pH sensitive chemical will we use to indirectly monitor CO2 production/consumption?
Phenol red
If CO2 concentration increases the solution will become ..
More acidic, phenol red is yellow in color
If CO2 concentration decreases the solution will become…
More basic, phenol red is pink in color
Neutral solutions of phenol red are
red-orange
Where does glycolysis occur?
cytoplasm
Where does aerobic respiration occur?
mitochondria
Where does photosynthesis occur?
Chloroplast
placebo
something which has a positive mental effect, but no physical effect. Resembles actual treatment but does not have a physiological effect
Define diffusion
movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
