98
3 factors that can affect the rate of photosynthesis
Temperature, carbon dioxide and light
99
Light
Light provides the energy needed for photosynthesis, as the light level is raised, the rate of photosynthesis increases steadily up to a certain point- factors have become limiting
100
Carbon dioxide
One of the raw materials needed for photosynthesis, as the carbon dioxide level increases, the rate of photosynthesis increases up to a certain point
101
Temperature
The enzymes needed for photosynthesis work more slowly at low temperatures, if the plant gets too hot (40 degrees) The enzymes begin to denature
102
Oxygen production in photosynthesis
The faster the rate of oxygen production, the faster the rate of photosynthesis
103
light intensity equation
Proportional to 1 divided by distance squared
104
Respiration
The process of transferring energy from glucose which goes on in every cell
105
Three examples of how organisms use energy transferred by respiration
Building up larger molecules into smaller ones, animals its used to allow the muscles to contract and in mammals and birds its used to keep their body temperature steadier in colder temperatures
106
Metabolism
The rate of all the reactions that happen in a cell or the body
107
Aerobic respiration
Respiration using oxygen
108
oxygen debt
Amount of extra oxygen your body needs to react with the build up of lactic acid and remove it from the cells
109
Benign
The tutor grows until theres no more room, the tumour stays in one place (membrane) rather than invading and other tissues- not dangerous and not cancerous
110
Malignant
Tumor grows and spreads to neighbouring healthy tissues, cells can break off and spread to tiger parts of the body through the blood stream. They are dangerous and cancerous
111
Risk factors of Cancer
