is photosynthesis exothermic or endothermic
endothermic
what is glucose used for
- Starch
-Cellulose
-Amino acids
-Respiration
-Fats and oils
what is rate of photosynthesis increased by
-increase temp
-increase light intensity
- increase co2 concentration
what is the equation for photosynthesis
glucose + carbon dioxide - glucose + oxygen
what’s the practical for photosynthesis
- cut pondweed stem and place in a boiling tube of water mixed with sodium hydrogen carbonate
- measure distance for light source
- count how many bubble appear
- change the distance of the light source
whats the independent variable in the photosynthesis practical
light intensity
what does respiration provide energy for?
- chemical reactions
- warmth
- movement
true or false:
aerobic respiration is respiration with oxygen
true
what’s the equation for aerobic respiration
glucose + oxygen - water + carbon dioxide
what’s the equation for anaerobic respiration
glucose - carbon dioxide + lactic acid
how does the body remove the lactic acid?
- broken down into glucose by liver using oxygen
what’s the equation for anaerobic respiration in plants
glucose - ethanol + carbon dioxide
why does heart and breathing rate increase during exercise
increase blood flow to supply more oxygen and glucose so muscles to contract
what is metabolism
the sum of all chemical reactions in a cell/organism
