Third Year Test 1 Flashcards
What is force
Force causes movement
What did Isaac Newton define force as
As allowing/causing stationer objects to move, causing a moving object to change direction, slow down or speed up
What is six types of forces?
- Gravity.2. Magnetic 3. Electric 4. Push.5. Pull 6. Friction
What is the unit of force
Newton
What reduces friction
Lubricants
Tell me about weight
Weight is the force pulling an object to the centre of the Earth. It is measured in neutrons. weight does change as gravity changes.
Define the term mass
It is the amount of matter (solid,liquid,gas) that an object contains. It is measured in kg or g. Does not change as gravity changes
What was hooks law
Hooks law was that as the graph is a straight line to the origin (00) the extension of the spring is directly proportional to the force applied
What is a biochemical process?
A biochemical process chemical reaction takes place in a living thing
Define the term photosynthesis
Photosynthesis is a process of plants trapped light energy to make food
Name five factors that need for photosynthesis
Light,carbon dioxide,water,chlorophyll,temperature
Define the term light
Light is needed to provide energy to form glucose. As light intensity increases the rate of photosynthesis increases levels decrease to the lack of CO2 or water
Define the term carbon dioxide in plant photosynthesis
Carbon dioxide is mostly absorbs to the stoma(tiny holes) in a plants leaves. As CO2levels rise the rise of photosynthesis increases other factors límite it example light
Define the term water
Water is observed by the roots need to make glucose and allow enzymes to function
Define the term chlorophyll
Chlorophyll is the green pigments used to absorb the light energy needed to make glucose. It is found in the chloroplast of cells.
Define the term temperature
Most plants enzymes were best between 20°C and 30°C
Define the term respiration
It is the release of energy from food
Name two different types of respiration
Anoerobic respiration and aerobic respiration
Define the term aerobic respiration
It is a release of energy from food using oxygen glucose oxygen equals carbon dioxide plus water plus energy
Define the term anaerobic respiration
Is the release of energy from food without using oxygen
Tell me about anaerobic respiration in animals
Glucose equals lactic acid plus small amount of energy due to muscle sales are getting enough O2 it can cause cramps plus sore muscles
Tell me about anaerobic respiration in plants and yeast
Glucose equals ethanol plus CO2 plus small amount of energy. Used in baking as CO2 causes dough to rise, yeast and brewing and wine making.
List four factors are affect respiration
Temperature,oxygen,glucose,water
Define the term temperature for respiration
As enzymes control respiration as temp increases, the rate increases above a certain temperature rate decreases as enzymes are destroyed
