A

It occurs when oxygen is not available

35
Q

What is the first stage of anaerobic respiration?

A

Glycolysis

36
Q

What conversions occur during glycolysis?

A

ADP is converted into ATP
Glucose is converted into pyruvate, which is then converted into lactate

37
Q

How much ATP does glycolysis produce during anaerobic respiration?

A

2 ATP

38
Q

What happens if a cell continues performing anaerobic respiration?

A

Lactate builds up
pH falls
Muscle fatigue

39
Q

What happens when anaerobic respiration stops?

A

The lactate created is converted back into pyruvate and enters the Krebs Cycle

40
Q

What occurs during photosynthesis?

A

Light energy is captured and it is transformed into chemical energy

41
Q

Where is light energy trapped within a plant cell?

A

Chlorophyll

42
Q

Where is chlorophyll stored?

A

It is stored inside the choloplast

43
Q

What are chloroplasts composed of?

A

Lamelle
Stroma

44
Q

What is the lamelle?

A

It is an inner membrane which is folded to increase surface area

45
Q

What is the stroma?

A

It is a fluid matrix

46
Q

What are the grana?

A

They are groups of lamelle bound together to create chlorophyll

A

About 71%

71
Q

How much light is captured by chlorophyll and converted into chemical energy?

A

Less than 1%

72
Q

What happens to the rate of photosynthesis when the temperature increases?

A

The rate of photosynthesis will also increase up until 20-40 degrees

73
Q

What happens when the temperature exceeds the comfortable range for a plant?

A

The rate of photosynthesis will decrease

74
Q

How does oxygen affect photosynthesis?

A

It reduces the rate of photosynthesis as it dilutes the carbon dioxide diffusing into the cell

75
Q

How does water affect photosynthesis?

A

If there is not enough water available the rate of photosynthesis will decrease as the stomata closes

76
Q

How does chlorophyll affect photosynthesis?

A

If the soil is deficient in either nitrogen or magnesium the plant will not make enough chlorophyll

77
Q

What happens when a plant cannot create a sufficient amount of chlorophyll?

A

It will appear yellow

78
Q

What is chemosynthesis?

A

Instead of photosynthesis, they use the chemical energy found in inorganic moleucles

79
Q

What organism uses chemosynthesis?

A

Autotrophic bacteria

80
Q

What is produced as a result of chemosynthesis?

A

Methane gas
