Plant Respiration Flashcards
What is the primary purpose of plant respiration?
To convert glucose into energy for cellular processes.
True or False: Plant respiration only occurs during the daytime.
False
Fill in the blank: The process of respiration in plants primarily takes place in the ______.
mitochondria
What are the two main types of respiration in plants?
Aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
Multiple Choice: Which gas do plants take in during respiration?
Oxygen
What is the chemical equation for aerobic respiration in plants?
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (ATP)
True or False: Anaerobic respiration produces more energy than aerobic respiration.
False
Short Answer: What byproduct is produced during anaerobic respiration in plants?
Ethanol or lactic acid.
Fill in the blank: Respiration occurs in the ______ of plant cells.
cytoplasm and mitochondria
Multiple Choice: Which of the following is NOT a stage of cellular respiration?
Photosynthesis
What is the role of oxygen in aerobic respiration?
It acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain.
True or False: Plants respire at a constant rate regardless of environmental conditions.
False
Short Answer: What is the main source of energy for plants during respiration?
Glucose.
Fill in the blank: The energy currency produced during respiration is ______.
ATP
Multiple Choice: Which process do plants use to convert sunlight into glucose?
Photosynthesis
What is the relationship between photosynthesis and respiration in plants?
Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen, which are used in respiration.
True or False: Respiration in plants is essential for growth and development.
True
Short Answer: During which part of the day do plants primarily respire?
Both day and night.
Fill in the blank: The respiration rate of plants can be affected by ______.
temperature, light, and water availability
Multiple Choice: What is produced as a waste product during aerobic respiration?
Carbon dioxide
Short Answer: Name one factor that can increase the respiration rate in plants.
Increased temperature.
Fill in the blank: The process of converting glucose into energy is known as ______.
cellular respiration
True or False: Plants can survive without respiration.
False
What is the significance of respiration for plant survival?
It provides the energy necessary for growth, reproduction, and maintenance.
