Ch. 6 - Cellular Respiration Flashcards
1
Q
Photosynthesis
A
Light energy + 6CO2 + 6H2O > C6H12O6 +6O2 (endergonic)
2
Q
Respiration
A
C6H12O6 + 6O2 > 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (ATP + heat) (exergonic)
3
Q
Breathing/respiration (2)
A
- Gas exchange that occurs in lungs
- breathing supplies the oxygen required by cellular respiration and carries away the waste product CO2
4
Q
Cellular respiration
A
The oxygen requiring harvesting of energy from food molecules by cells
5
Q
Kcal
A
Amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1C
6

A
- 2100 F, 2700 M
- 15% to brain, 75% maintenance (brain function, breathing, heart beating, etc)
