Cards in this deck (15)
- 1What is aerobic respiration?It is respiration that involves oxygen.
- 2What is the equation for aerobic respiration?Glucose + Oxygen
↓
Carbon dioxide + Water
(+ Energy) - 3How would you test for carbon dioxide?Breathe into lime water. If it turns from clear to milky, carbon dioxide is present.
- 4How would you test for water?Breathe onto a mirror. If water vapour appears, water is present.
- 5Where does respiration occur?Mitochondria
- 6How does respiration occur?Controlled by enzymes
- 7What is anaerobic respiration?When respiration occurs without enough oxygen.
- 8What is the equation for anaerobic respiration in animal cells?Glucose
↓
Lactic acid + Energy - 9What is the equation for anaerobic respiration in plant and yeast cells?Glucose
↓
Ethanol + Carbon dioxide - 10What is oxygen debt?The amount of extra oxygen required after exercise to react the accumulated lactic acids and remove it from the cells.
- 11What are the side effects of oxygen debt?Muscle fatigue and cramp.
- 12Define metabolismAll the chemical reactions happening in a living organism.
- 13What is the equation for photosynthesis?Carbon dioxide + Water
↓
Glucose + Oxygen - 14What is chlorophyll and what does it do?Chlorophyll is the green pigmentation found inside chloroplasts. It is absorbs sunlight for photosynthesis.
- 15Define limiting factorA limiting factor is a part of the photosynthesis reaction that is in short supply which presents the rate of photosynthesis increasing further.
