THINGS I GOT WRONG Flashcards
aerobic respiration equation
O2+glucose-> CO2+H2O
photosynthesis equation
CO2+H2O -> O2 + C6H12O2
why do plants do photosynthesis
to make glucose
from glucose they make carbohydrates
store as starch
make other carbon compounds
describe how carbon in the atmosphere is cycled through living organisms
photosynthesis
Co2 taken through the leaves
to make glucose/carbs
to make proteins lipids
glucose stored as starch
Respiration
animals respire release CO2 atmosphere
Bacteria help decay
decomposed by microorganisms
Feeding
animals eat plants
plants have carbon inside
we can make carbon compounds too
how do orchid adaptations help plants survive+ compete
bright colors attract pollinators
large quantities of pollen= more seeds/reporductuon
small sneers= travels further grow jew reads
many seeds= new plants outcompete other Sp / more survive
4 marks evolution
how have purple orchids evolved from pale yellow ancestors
- mutation in species
- isolation OR change in env
- purple ones survive and breed
- pass on mutation
- until they are so different they can’t breed w someone else(a new species)
