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.
