Topic 4- BIOENERGETICS Flashcards
What is the word equation for photosynthesis
carbon dioxide + water = glucose + oxygen
symbol equation for photosynthesis
6CO2 +6H2O = C6H12O6 + 6O2
What are the 5 uses of glucose
1 for respiration
2 making cellulose to make cell strong
3 making amino acids - glucose combined with nitrate ions
4 stored as fats - turned into lipids for storing in seeds
5 stored as starch - ready for when photosynthesis doesn’t happen
what are the ideal conditions for farming
greenhouses help trap sun heat so temperature doesn’t become a limiting factor
light is always needed for photosynthesis so supply with artificial light
use a paraffin heater as it heats the green house and release co2 as a by-product
what is respiration
respiration is the process of transferring energy from glucose which goes on in every cell
what is metabolism
metabolism is all the chemical reaction in an organism
what is the equation for aerobic respiration
glucose + oxygen = carbon dioxide + water
aerobic symbol equation
C6H12O6+6O2= 6CO2 +6H2O
Aerobic respiration word equation
glucoses = lactic acid
aerobic respiration in plants and yeast
glucose = ethanol + carbonic dioxide
