Question 1

aerobic respiration

Answer 1

A form of respiration that uses oxygen to release energy from molecules like glucose - represented by the following word equation:glucose+oxygen~CO2+water

Question 2

anaerobic respiration

Answer 2

: A form of respiration that releases energy from molecules like glucose without using oxygen - represented by the following word equation:glucose~lactic acid

Question 3

cellular respiration

Answer 3

: An exothermic reaction which is continuously occurring in living cells.

Question 4

inverse proportion

Answer 4

Question 4

inverse proportion

Answer 4

A relationship between two values where as one value increases, the other value decreases at the same rate.

Question 5

inverse square law

Answer 5

As the distance from a light source increases, the light intensity is
inversely proportional to the distance squared - given by the following equation:
light intensity=1/(distance from light source)2

Question 6

limiting factor

Answer 6

A factor that limits the rate of a reaction when there is not enough of it.

Question 7

metabolism

Answer 7

the sum of all reactions in a cell or body

Question 8

oxygen debt

Answer 8

The amount of extra oxygen the body needs after exercise to react with the accumulated lactic acid and remove it from the cells.

Question 9

photosynthesis

Answer 9

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