Biology - Chapters 9 &10
What is the equation for photosynthesis?
6CO2 + 6H2O --> C6H12O6 + 6O2
What is produced in CR?
ATP energy
When is CR done?
All the time - cells always need energy
Do bacteria have mitochondria? if not, can they preform cellular respiration?
Bacteria do not have mitochondria. They preform cellular respiration in the cell membrane.
What is CO2?
Carbon dioxide
Why measure carbon dioxide to figure out the rate of cellular respiration?
Carbon dioxide is a product of cellular respiration
Where is photosynthesis?
Chloroplasts
Why wouldn't adding more and more light or CO2 continually speed up photosynthesis
Even if you add a lot more CO2, there's other factors limiting the reaction such as temp, and light.
What is C6H12O6
Glucose
Who is in photosynthesis?
Plants + some other organisms
What are the four limiting factors of the photosynthesis reaction?
Temp, light, amount of co2, and amount of chlorophyll
Why is photosynthesis and cellular respiration called a cycle?
The reactants for one are the products of the other
What is H2O
Water
What does ATP stand for?
adenosine triphosphate
What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic?
aerobic requires oxygen and anaerobic does not use oxygen
Why is CR needed?
all cells need energy
Who is in CR?
all living things
What is happens in CR?
glucose --> ATP energy
What is produced during photosynthesis?
light --> glucose
What do autotrophs do?
make their own food
Where is CR?
mitochondria
Why is photosynthesis needed?
needs glucose for CR
Are plants the only organisms that preform photosynthesis?
no, non-plants such as algae and cyanobacteria
What is O2
oxygen
When is photosynthesis present?
when light is present
