1What is the formula for photosynthesis?
carbon dioxide + water ——> (light) glucose + oxygen
2What do plants use glucose for?
- Respiration
- Making cellulose
- Making amino acids
- stored as oil and fat
- stored as starch
3What affects the rate of photosynthesis?
light intesity, CO2 concentration, chlorophyll and temperature
4What is respiration?
process of transferring energy from glucose; this is an exothermic process
5What is aerobic respiration?
respiration with oxygen; glucose + oxygen ===> carbon dioxide + water
6What is anaerobic respiration (in humans) ?
respiration without oxygen; glucose ===> lactic acid
7What is anaerobic respiration (in plants and yeast)?
glucose ===> ethanol + carbon dioxide
8What is metabolism?
total sum of chemical reactions in an organism
9What is oxygen debt?
where your body needs an extra amount of oxygen to react with the lactic acid buildup and remove it from our cells
