|
what is a chloroplast |
bodies(organelles) found in some plant cells which contain chlorophyll |
|
|
|
what does chlorophyll do |
it absorbs red and blue wavelengths of light in some plant cellssummeris |
|
|
|
summarise photosynthesis |
a biochemical process which happens in plant cells which processes chloroplasts. carbon dioxide is taken in from the air and combined with water from the soil, the energy to do this comes from red and blue light absorbed by chlorophyll |
|
|
|
what is the word/ symbol equation of the biochemical process |
carbon dioxide+water (chlorophyll)->glucose+oxygen 6CO2+ 6H2O->C6H12O6+6O2 |
devils number |
|
|
what are endothermic/exothermic reactions |
endothermic reactions absorb energy (heat) exothermic reactions release energy (heat) |
|
|
|
is photosynthesis endothermic or exothermic |
endorhermic |
|
|
|
what does the mitochonrion do |
-site of energy release in cells -place where aerobic respiration occurs |
|
|
|
what is aerobic/anaerobic respiration |
aerobic- respiration using oxygen anaerobic- respiration done without oxygen |
|
|
|
aerobic respiration summarised |
-biochemical process -takes place in mitochondria -involves/requires enzymes, so is sensitive to pH and temp |
|
|
|
what is the word/symbol equation of aerobic respiration |
glucose+oxygen->(enzymes)->carbon dioxide+water+energy C6H12O6+ 6CO2->6CO2+6H2O |
reversed photosynthesis |
|
|
rate of respiration is figured out by |
distance bubble moves/time taken |
|
|
|
why is respiration faster at higher temperatures |
because it speeds up the rate of reaction as kinetic energy is increased |
|
