Q

What is photosynthesis?

A

It is an endothermic reaction in which energy is
transferred from the environment to the
chloroplasts by light.

Q

How does temperature affect photosynthesis?

A

As temperature rises the rate of photosynthesis
increases, when temperature becomes too high
enzymes are denatured and so rate of
photosynthesis decreases until it stops
completely.

The brighter the light the greater the rate of
photosynthesis.

Q

How does carbon dioxide concentration affect
photosynthesis?

A

The greater the concentration of carbon dioxide
the greater the rate of photosynthesis.

Q

How does the amount of chlorophyll affect
photosynthesis?

The more chlorophyll the greater the rate of
photosynthesis.

Q

How can you measure the rate of
photosynthesis?

A

Place the plant underwater and measure the
volume of oxygen made or count the number of
bubbles in a given time. The more gas made, the
faster the rate of photosynthesis.

cellulose, make amino acids.

Q

How do plants make proteins?

A

Amino acids made from glucose and plants
combine these with nitrate ions absorbed from
the soil to make proteins.

16
Q

What is the name of the chemical that makes a
leaf look green?

A

Chlorophyll

17
Q

How can you test if a plant for starch?

A

Boil in ethanol to destroy waxy cuticle and
remove the colour. Then add iodine to the leaf.
If the iodine turns blue it contains starch.

18
Q

What cell part is needed for photosynthesis to
take place?

A

Chloroplast.

19
Q

What is the word equation for respiration?

A

Glucose + Oxygen -> Carbon Dioxide + Water

20
Q

What is respiration?

A

It is an exothermic reaction in which energy is
transferred.

21
Q

What do organisms need energy for?

A

Chemical reactions to build larger molecules,
movement and keeping warm.

22
Q

Chemical reactions to build larger molecules,
movement and keeping warm.

A

Glucose -> Lactic Acid

23
Q

Why is less energy released through anaerobic
respiration compared to aerobic?

A

The oxidation of glucose is incomplete.

24
Q

What are the differences between aerobic and
anaerobic respiration in animals?

A

Aerobic respiration involves oxygen, anaerobic
doesn’t, aerobic respiration releases more
energy.

25
Q

What is the word equation for anaerobic
respiration in plant and yeast cells?

A

Glucose -> Ethanol + Carbon Dioxide

26
Q

What is anaerobic respiration in yeast cells
otherwise known as?

A

Fermentation.

27
Q

Why is anaerobic respiration in yeast cells
important?

A

Can be used to manufacture bread and alcoholic
drinks.

28
Q

What changes happen to the body during
exercise and why?

A

The heart rate, breathing rate and breath volume
increases during exercise to supply the muscles
with more oxygenated blood.

29
Q

What happens during exercise if there is a
insufficient oxygen?

A

Anaerobic respiration takes place, this leads to a
build up lactic acid and creates an oxygen debt.

30
Q

What is oxygen debt?

A

The amount of extra oxygen the body needs after
exercise to remove the lactic acid from cells.

31
Q

What is metabolism?

A

The sum of all the reactions in a cell or the body.

32
Q

What are examples of metabolic reactions?

A

Converting glucose to starch and glycogen to
cellulose, the formation of lipids, the formation of
proteins, respiration and breakdown of proteins.

33
Q

Why do you respire more when exercising?

A

Because the muscles need more energy from respiration to contract.

34
Q

What increases during exercise?

A

Breathing rate and breath volume.

35
Q

What can long periods of exercise cause?

A

Muscle fatigue, where the muscles get tired and stop contracting efficiently.
