Q

Define the term light

A

Light is needed to provide energy to form glucose. As light intensity increases the rate of photosynthesis increases levels decrease to the lack of CO2 or water

Q

Define the term carbon dioxide in plant photosynthesis

A

Carbon dioxide is mostly absorbs to the stoma(tiny holes) in a plants leaves. As CO2levels rise the rise of photosynthesis increases other factors límite it example light

Q

Name two different types of respiration

A

Anoerobic respiration and aerobic respiration

19
Q

Define the term aerobic respiration

A

It is a release of energy from food using oxygen glucose oxygen equals carbon dioxide plus water plus energy

20
Q

Define the term anaerobic respiration

A

Is the release of energy from food without using oxygen

21
Q

Tell me about anaerobic respiration in animals

A

Glucose equals lactic acid plus small amount of energy due to muscle sales are getting enough O2 it can cause cramps plus sore muscles

22
Q

Tell me about anaerobic respiration in plants and yeast

A

Glucose equals ethanol plus CO2 plus small amount of energy. Used in baking as CO2 causes dough to rise, yeast and brewing and wine making.

23
Q

List four factors are affect respiration

A

Temperature,oxygen,glucose,water

24
Q

Define the term temperature for respiration

A

As enzymes control respiration as temp increases, the rate increases above a certain temperature rate decreases as enzymes are destroyed

25
Q

Where does respiration take place?

A

Mitochondria

26
Q

What is an organism that uses anaerobic respiration?

A

Yeast cells

27
Q

What fluid brings food and oxygen to cell?

A

Haemoglobin

28
Q

How do the waste products get from the cells lungs to be extracted

A

Blood plasma

29
Q

In which part of plants does the most photosynthenis take place?

A

Leaves

30
Q

Name chemicals that is necessary for photosynthesis

A

Carbon dioxide

31
Q

Name the organelle where photosynthesis take place

A

Chromoplast

32
Q

Define the term conservation

A

Conservation is the protection of plants, animals and natural areas from the damaging effects of human activity.

33
Q

Why is human population increasing

A

Due to increased food supply and better medicine

34
Q

Name and explain 2 ways we can increase the food supply

A
  1. Convert more natural ares to farmland-undesirable as it leads to biodiversity loss
  2. Improve yield of crops-by genetic engineering/selective breeding to develop drought
    resistant,improve size and taste,improve disease resistance,etc.

36
Q

List 4 ways that we can overcome the food gap

A

Reduce food waste
Adjust are diets to more plant based as it is more sustainable than animal based
Control human population growth
Maximise the use of existing farmland

37
Q

List 4 causes of biodiversity loss

A
  1. Habitat loss/fragmentation:eg cutting down all or large parts of forest
  2. Invasive species:eg grey squirrel,Japanese knotweed
  3. Over exploration:eg overfishing
  4. Pollution by humans adding harmful minerals to the environment:eg sewage,oil,acid rain
38
Q

How can we conserve biodiversity

A
  1. Reduce pollution (reduce,reuse,recycle)
  2. Rewild/plant new forest with native species
  3. Develop national parks/special areas of conservation
39
Q

composting examples

A

Brown bin collection, compost heap at house

40
Q

Negatives of a landfill

A

41
Q

Define the term incinerator and explain what it does

A

It’s the burning of waste at a height temperature and it reduces landfill and generates electricity

42
Q

List 5 benefits of a healthy ecosystem

A
  1. Clean water supplies
  2. Greater biodiversity
  3. Sources of wood/food/medicine
  4. Less pollution+soil erosion+flooding

43
Q

Named chemical equation for photosynthesis
