Topic 4-Bioenergetics Flashcards
photosynthesis word equation
carbon dioxide + water = glucose + oxygen
photosynthesis symbol equation
6CO2 + 6H2O = C6H1206 + 6O2
uses of glucose in plants
respiration, making cellulose, making amino acids, stored as oil/fat, stored as starch
limiting factors of photosynthesis
light intensity, concentration of carbon dioxide, temperature, and chlorophyll levels
respiration
the process of transferring energy from glucose
use of energy in animals
building up larger molecules from smaller ones, allows muscles to contract, keep body temp constantly warm
metabolism
the sum of all the reactions that happen in a cell or the body
aerobic respiration equation
glucose + oxygen =carbon dioxide + water
anaerobic respiration equation (muscles)
glucose = lactic acid
anaerobic respiration (plants & yeast)
glucose = ethanol + carbon dioxide
fermentation
anaerobic respiration in yeast
oxygen debt
the amount of extra oxygen your body needs to react with the build up of lactic acid and remove it from cells.
