Topic 4 - Bioenergetics Flashcards
What is aerobic respiration?
Respiration using oxygen
Aerobic respiration equation?
Glucose+oxygen=carbon dioxide+water
What is anaerobic respiration?
Respiration without oxygen, where glucose is used to make lactic acid
Equation for anaerobic respiration?
Glucose=lactic acid
Equation for anaerobic respiration in plants and yeast?
Glucose=ethanol+carbon dioxide
Name 3 things your body does during exercise
Breathing rate increase
Heart rate increases
What is oxygen debt?
The amount of extra oxygen your body needs to react with the built up lactic acid to remove it.
Repaying the oxygen that you didn’t get to your muscles in time due to the big demand
What is photosynthesis?
Plant making food for itself
Photosynthesis equation?
Carbon dioxide+water=glucose+oxygen
Where does photosynthesis take place?
Chloroplast
Where does respiration take place?
Mitochondria
What are the limiting factors of photosynthesis?
