What is the word equation for photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide + water > glucose + oxygen
What is the symbol equation for photosynthesis?
6CO(2)+ 6C(2)O > C(6)H(12)O(6) + 6O(2)
What are the products of photosynthesis ?
Glucose and oxygen
What are the reactants of photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide and water
What are the 4 uses of glucose in plants?
•Respiration
•Strength cell walls
•Protein synthesis
•Energy storage
In plants, glucose is converted to what make cell walls strong?
Cellulose
In plants, glucose is used with nitrate ions to make amino acids, which then are used for what?
Protein synthesis
In plants, glucose is converted to lipids to do what?
Store energu
What three (four) things affect the rate of photosynthesis?
•Light intensity
•CO2 concentration
•Tempteture
•(Chlorophyll amount)
How to control limiting factors?
Greenhouse
How does a greenhouse control limiting factors?
Maximises rate of photosynthesis
What is the disadvantage of greenhouses for controlling limiting factors?
The ventilation ,lamps ,heaters and shades cost money
Respiration is the process of what?
Transferring energy from glucose
What does energy transfer from in respiration?
Glucose
What type of reaction is respiration?
Exothermic
The energy transferred from glucose in respiration is used for what 3 things?
•Contract muscles for movement
•Keep warm
•Build larger molecules from smaller ones
Which type of respiration uses oxygen?
Aerobic
Which type of respiration doesn’t use oxygen?
Anaerobic
Which is the more efficient type of respiration?
Aerobic
Which type of respiration is the photosynthesis equation backwards?
Aerobic
What is the aerobic respiration equation?
Glucose+ oxygen > carbon dioxide+water
Which respiration transfers much less energy?
Anaerobic
Which respiration does glucose not fully oxidise?
Anaerobic
Anaerobic respiration transfers much less energy because glucose isn’t what?
Fully oxidised
