Question 2

True or false.. aerobic respiration involves oxygen.

Answer 2

True!

Question 3

What is the word equation for aerobic respiration?

Answer 3

Glucose + oxygen = carbon dioxide + water

Question 4

True or false.. anaerobic respiration involves oxygen.

Answer 4

False! -it does not use oxygen, it is used when the body cannot supply enough oxygen for aerobic respiration

Question 5

What is the word equation for anaerobic respiration in animals?

Answer 5

Glucose= lactic acid + energy

Question 6

What is the word equation for anaerobic respiration in plants?

Answer 6

Glucose= carbon dioxide + ethanol + energy

Question 7

What is fermentation?

Answer 7

A type of anaerobic respiration which occurs in yeast.

Question 8

What is the word equation for fermentation?

Question 10

What is photosynthesis?

Answer 10

Question 11

What is the word equation for photosynthesis?

Answer 11

water + carbon dioxide + sunlight= glucose + oxygen

Question 12

The rate of photosynthesis can be affected by..

Answer 12

-Light intensity (the higher the light intensity the higher the rate of photosynthesis up to a point)

Question 13

Name two adaptions of leave!

Answer 13

-they are thin to allow the most light through
-they have the largest possible surface area to absorb as much light as possible

Question 14

what does the waxy layer do?

Answer 14

reduce water by evaporation

Question 15

where is the chloroplast located?

Answer 15

mainly located on the upper side of the leaf where the sunlight reaches.

Question 16

where is the stomata located?

Answer 16

on the lower surface to reduce water loss by evaporation.
