factors that affect cellular respiration Flashcards
When does the graph of tempreature drop
Past the optimal tempreature
Why does glucose availability affect the rate of cellular respiration
Because glucose is an needed input for cellular respiration up to a substrate saturation point as all enzymes are working at max capactiy.
Question, if plants at the top which recieve more sunlight is compared to plant that recives less sunlight, which plant has a fast cellular respiration rate
The plant with sunlight as more photosynthesis is occuring in the chloroplast which produces more glucose availabile to the cell for cellular respiration.
is glucose the only carbon input for cellular respiration?
No, lipids and protiens can be used as a input but glucose is prefered in cells.
Why does the oxygen availability affect aerobic cellular respiration rate.
Because oxygen is used in the electron tasnsport chain as an final electron acceptor, it requires oxygen for the respiration to occur.
