Photosysnthesis/Cellular Respiration

Question 1

Where does photo. occur?

Answer 1

In the chloroplast

Question 2

Define photosynthesis:

Answer 2

Plants fix the carbon in the atmosphere into organic molecules, including glucose, which provide animals with food molecules which can be broken down to provide the animal with energy

Question 3

Equation:

Answer 3

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6 H12 O6 + 6O2

Question 4

What factors can affect photo.?

Answer 4

shortage of water, temps above or below the range of 0 and 35 degrees C, Intensity of light, increase of light intensity

Question 5

Cell Rep. occurs:

Answer 5

mitochondria

hint: powerhouse of the cell :)

Question 6

Define cell rep. :

Answer 6

A chemical process in which oxygen is used to make energy from carbohydrates (sugars).

Glucose molecules can release 36 molecules of ATP when in the presence of oxygen (aerobic respiration) but only 2 ATP molecules during anaerobic (no oxygen) conditions. Under anaerobic respiration, lactic acid, a waste product, is released
