16 cards·by oliviaryan

photosynthesis:

requires sunlight, as a source of energy.

where does photosynthesis occur?

in the 'green' of the plants which is chlorophyll

what is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

H2O + CO2 = 02 + C6 H12 O6

What are autotrophs?

the products in the food chain, since they create their own food. Eg (plants, algae)

where does cellular respiration occur?

in the mitochondria

what does cellular respiration involve?

the breakdown of glucose into a useable form of energy, called ATP

chemical equation for cellular respiration

glucose + oxygen = carbon dioxide + water

limiting factors for cellular respiration are:

glucose, oxygen and mitochondria ( number of )

What are three common wavelengths of light?

ultra violet, visible light and infra red light

what is the name of the stacks within chloroplasts?

grana are the stacks

what is the stroma?

is the liquid of the cholorplast

define cellular respiration...

a chemical reaction that produces energy for cells

what respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen?

Aerobic respiration.

Anerobic occurs....

in the absence of oxygen, giving less ATP and producing lactic acid.

what are enzymes made from?

protein

enzymes do what?

speed up reactions
