Q

Why are greenhouses good for photosynthesis?

A

You can control limiting factors to maximise the rate of photosynthesis.

For example:

  • Ventilation
  • Shades
  • Lamps
  • Heaters

Q

What 3 examples is there for energy transfer in the body?

A

1) Contract muscles for movement
2) To Keep Warm
3) To build larger molecules from smaller ones

17
Q

Aerobic respiration definition

A

Respiration using oxygen

It’s the most efficient type of respiration.

18
Q

Aerobic respiration word equation

A

Glucose + Oxygen

—>

Carbon dioxide + water

19
Q

Aerobic respiration chemical equation

A

C6H12O6 + 6O2 ——> 6CO2 + 6H2O

20
Q

Anaerobic Respiration definition

A

Respiration without oxygen

It transfers much less energy than aerobic respiration because glucose isn’t fully oxidised

21
Q

Metabolism definition

A

The sum of all reactions that happen in a cell in your body
