Photosynthesis and respiration Flashcards
What is photosynthesis
Photosynthesis is the way plants make their own food using light
What happens the glucose when it is in the plant
Used immedietly to provide an energy source for resperation
Name the parts of the plant cell
Cell membrane, cell wall, vacuole, chloroplast, nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondrion,
What type of process is photosynthesis and why
It is a chemical process because new substances are formed
What is a biological process
A process that occurs in living cells
What forms in a plant from chlorophyll, sunlight, carbon dioxide and water
Glucose
What waste product comes from plants
Oxygen
What is the carbon cycle
The carbon cycle is the recycling of carbon atoms
Is the carbon on earth fixed or unfixed
Fixed
What happens to photosynthesis when carbon dioxide rises
Photosynthesis rises
What happens when carbon dioxide falls
Photosynthesis falls
What happens to photosynthesis when the temperature is low
Rate of photosynthesis falls
What happens photosynthesis when the temperature is to high
Enzymes will be destroyed and photosynthesis will stop
What happens to photosynthesis when the light intensity is low
Rate of photosynthesis falls
What happens photosynthesis when the light intensity is high
Rate of photosynthesis increases
What 3 factors affect photosynthesis
light, heat, carbon dioxide
What is the word equation of respiration
Glucose+oxygen – > energy+carbon dioxide+water
What is respiration
Respiration is the release of energy from food
What is aerobic respiration
a type of respiration when oxygen is present
What is anaroebic respiration
A type of respiration that does not use oxygen
What 3 factors affect respiration
Temperature, Oxygen, Water
What is the word equation for respiration
Glucose+oxygen –> carbon dioxide+water+energy
What is the word equation for photosynthesis
Carbon dioxide+water (chlorophyll)—->(sunlight) glucose+oxygen
