Energy in the body Flashcards
Uses for glucose in plants
Stored as starch and can be used at a later date
Can be used for respiration in the cell
To build cell walls
To build cellulose in the cell helping it grow
What is the equation for photosynthesis
Carbon dioxide plus water=Glucose plus oxygen
What is anerobic respiration
When there is a lack of oxygen glucose is broken partially
Only 2 ATP energy
What is aerobic respiration
When there is a sufficient amount of oxygen the glucose can be broken down fully into 38 ATP
What is oxygen debt
The amount of oxygen your body requires to remove the build up of lactic acids
Limiting factors of photosynthesis
CO2
Light intensity
Temperature
What is a limiting factor
A factor which prevents the reaction from occurring
What is respiration
Process of transferring energy from glucose which goes in EVERY CELL
