  • Photosynthesis and respiration
    • Photosynthesis
      • endothermic reaction
      • carbon dioxide + water -> glucose + oxygen
      • Rate is affected by
        • light intensity
        • temperature
        • level of carbon dioxide
        • amount of chlorophyll
      • Uses for glucose
        • repsiration
        • convert into starch for storage
        • produce fats or oils for storage
        • produce cellulose to strengthen cell walls
        • produce amino acids for protein synthesis
    • Respiration
      • Aerobic
        • exothermic reaction
        • glucose + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water
      • Response to exercise
        • increase in heart rate
        • increase in breathing rate and volume
        • conversion of glycogen stores in the muscles to glucose for cellular respiration
        • increase of blood flow to muscles
      • anaerobic respiration
        • respiration without oxygen
        • transfers less energy
        • oxygen is needed to break down lactic acid (oxygen debt)
        • in plant cells and microorganisms results in the production of ethanol and carbon dioxide
        • glucose -> lactic acid
      • metabolism and the liver
        • metabolism is the sum of all reactions in the body
        • blood transports lactic acid to the liver where it is converted back to glucose
