Respiration and using Microbes Flashcards
What does ATP stand for
Adenosine Triphosphate
Give two uses of ATP
Used for active transport.
Can be used in ‘MRS H GREN’
What does aerobic respiration mean
Aerobic respiration is a chemical reaction making energy by reacting glucose with oxygen.
Word equation for Aerobic respiration
Glucose + Water = Carbon Dioxide + Water + (energy)
Symbol equation for aerobic respiration
C6 H12 O6 + 6O2 = 6co2 + 6H2o + ATP
how could you prove that an organism is respiring.
Give two answers.
See if producing carbon dioxide, will turn lime water milky or use hydro-carbonate indicator, Will turn different colour depending on the volume of Co2
Give the result colour if there is little or loads of Co2 with hydro-carbonate indicator.
Highest = Yellow Lowest = Purple
What is anaerobic respiration
Releasing energy from glucose without oxygen
Give the word equation for anaerobic respiration in animals
Glucose = lactic acid + energy
Give the word equation for anaerobic respiration in plants
Glucose = ethanol + carbon dioxide + energy
Only happens when waterlogged.
In which respiration is more energy released
Aerobic
What then happens to the built up lactic acid
Also give the equation
It is broken down and removed. Oxygen is needed for this process.
Lactic acid + oxygen = Carbon dioxide + water
Where does anaerobic respiration occur in the cell
in the cytoplasm
Where does aerobic respiration occur in the cell
In the mitochondria
What are the shared features of the fungi kingdom
Give 4 reasons
They range in size from single-celled yeast to multi-celluar fungi.
They produce spores but can only reproduce asexually.
They are often decomposers and feed saprotrophicaly.
Their cell walls are made from chitin.
They use hype to feed.
