Chapter 2 Flashcards
Photosynthesis equation
Carbon dioxide + water = water + glucose + oxygen
Autotrophs
Can make their own food from organic material and sun.
Organic
Describes complex, carbon containing compounds.
Inorganic
Compound that is not organic. Eg carbon dioxide.
Chemosynthesis
The synthesis of organic substances using energy from chemical reactions.
Carbohydrates
Organic compound that serves as a structural component in energy sources
Heterotrophs
Can not synthesis its own food it relies on other.
Consumers
Any animal that can not manufacture its own food.
Aerobic respiration
Respiration in the presents of oxygen.
Photosynthesis
A chemical reaction using energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
Respiration equation
Glucose + oxygen = carbon dioxide + water + energy ATP
Anaerobic respiration
Respiration in the absence of oxygen
Anaerobic respiration animals
Glucose = lactic acid + energy 2ATP
Anaerobic respiration in plants
Glucose = alcohol + energy 2ATP
Where does anaerobic respiration occurs
Cytoplasm/ Cytosol
