Mesophyll is a tissue in plants. It......
Carries out photosynthesis
17 of 40
What is the role of xylem and phloem?
Transport substances around the plant
18 of 40
Which gas is needed for photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide
19 of 40
What type of energy is needed for photosynthesis to happen?
Light

Tomatoes in a greenhouse grow faster if the carbon dioxide concentration is increased. This shows that:
Carbon dioxide concentration must have been a limiting factor-Carbon dioxide concentration must have been a limiting factor if the rate of photosynthesis increased with more of the gas.
21 of 40
Photosynthesis can be summarised by which word equation?
carbon dioxide + water → glucose + oxygen
22 of 40
Why do plants need nitrate ions?
Plants need nitrate ions to produce proteins.

Insoluble
24 of 40

32 of 40
What are enzymes?
Proteins

Which is the correct equation for aerobic respiration in humans?
glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water.
34 of 40
During exercise, the heart rate increases to:
It increases to supply more oxygen and glucose to the respiring cells
35 of 40
Why does anaerobic respiration occur during hard exercise?
There may be insufficient oxygen supplied to the muscle cells
36 of 40
Where in the cell do most aerobic respiration reactions happen?
Most aerobic respiration reactions happen in the mitochondria.
37 of 40
Which is the correct equation for anaerobic respiration in humans?
glucose → lactic acid

What substance is glucose stored as in the muscles?
Glycogen
39 of 40
In terms of energy released from glucose:
Aerobic respiration releases more energy than anaerobic respiration.
