define Photosynthesis
The process in which plants create energy in glucose using sunlight, CO2 and H2O
What is the equation for Photosynthesis?
6CO2 + 6H2O ---Light---> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Where does Photosynthesis take place?
Chloroplasts
What are the reactants of Photosynthesis
carbon dioxide and water
What are the products of Photosynthesis
glucose and oxygen
What factors affect the rate of Photosynthesis
temperature, light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration, amount of water
Why is light necessary for Photosynthesis
to serve as a catalyst and provide initial energy for the reaction
What type of organisms can do Photosynthesis
Plants with chloroplasts in their cells
What allows leaves to float in water?
O2 being made and decreasing density
Define Aerobic Cellular Respiration
The process in which cells break down glucose into ATP using oxygen
What is the chemical equation for Respiration
C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
What are the reactants for Aerobic respiration
glucose and oxygen
What are the products for Aerobic respiration
carbon dioxide, water, and ATP
Where does cellular respiration occur
mitochondria (cytoplasm also)
How are cellular respiration and photosynthesis related
They are opposite reactions, PS makes glucose and CR breaks it.
Define Anaerobic cellular respiration
The process in which cells turn glucose into usable ATP without oxygen
Why do both animal and plant cells use cellular respiration for their energy needs
They cannot use glucose and need to turn it into usable ATP energy
When does the body use aerobic and anaerobic respiration?
Medium pace, over time with oxygen: aerobic, short bursts very quickly without oxygen: anaerobic
What causes the stinging in muscles?
Lactic acid in Lactic Acid fermentation
