What is the word equation for photosynthesis?
carbon dioxide + water --> glucose + oxygen
1 of 15
What are the five main ways plants use glucose?
Respiration, making cellulose, making amino acids, stored as oils or fats and stored as starch
2 of 15
Is photosynthesis endothermic or exothermic?
endothermic
3 of 15
What can be limiting factors of photosynthesis?
light, temperature, carbon dioxide and possibly chlorophyll
4 of 15
What is 1 divided by distance squared proportional to?
light intensity
5 of 15
What are the benefits of using a greenhouse?
creates an ideal environment, help trap the Sun's heat, could include artificial light, could monitor levels of carbon dioxide, keeps them free of pests and diseases
6 of 15
What is the main disadvantages of a greenhouse?
It costs money
7 of 15
What is respiration?
the process of transferring energy from glucose, which goes on in every cell
8 of 15
What respires?
every living thing
9 of 15
What do organisms use the energy transferred by respiration for?
build up larger molecules, used to allow the muscles to contract, help keep body temperature steady in colder surroundings
10 of 15
What is the metabolism?
the sum of all the reactions that happen in a cell or the body
11 of 15
What is the word equation for aerobic respiration?
glucose + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water
12 of 15
What is the word equation for anaerobic respiration?
glucose --> lactic acid
13 of 15
what is the word equation for anaerobic respiration in plants and yeast?
glucose --> ethanol + carbon dioxide
14 of 15
What does anaerobic respiration lead to?
oxygen debt
