Paper 1 B4 - Bioenergetics Flashcards
what effects the rate of photosynthesis?
intensity of light
concentration or CO2
temperature
how does photosynthesis produce glucose?
uses energy to change carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen
What is aerobic respiration?
respiration using oxygen
Where does aerobic respiration happen?
inside mitochondria
what does anaerobic mean?
without oxgyen
glucose becomes what?
lactic acid
What happens to the rate of photosynthesis as light intensity increases?
rate increases
what needs to happens when the photosynthesis graph levels out?
CO2 or temperature need to be increased
what is respiration?
process of transferring energy from the breakdown of glucose
is respiration exothermic or endothermic?
Exothermic - transfers energy to environment
What are the 3 examples of how organisms use energy in respiration?
larger molecules
muscles contract
keep body temperature steady
