  • What do you use glucose for
    Cellulose
    join with nitrates to make amino acids
    stored as lipids (in plants as seeds)
    stored as starch in roots (insoluble)
    if not the cell would swell up with water if there were lots of glucose
  • Why is a large temp bad for photosynthesis
    Enzymes denature
    slower rate
  • Word equation for photosynthesis
    carbon dioxide+water (sunlight)——->glucose+oxygen
    endothermic
  • Why do organisms need energy
    Chemical reactions to build larger molecules
    movement
    keeping warm
  • Anaerobic respiration in humans
    Glucose—->lactic acid
  • Anaerobic respiration in plants

    Glucose—->ethanol+carbon dioxide
    transfers less wenrgy oxidation if glucose incomplete
  • Anaerobic resp in yeast
    Fermentation
    alcohol
    bread
  • What does metabolism include
    Glucose—>starch,glycogen,cellolose
    firm lipids from a molecule of glycerol and three molecules of fatty acids
  • Metabolism include

    Glucose and nitrate ions amino acids used to synthesise protein
    repiration
    break excess proteins to form urea for excretion
  • What plant used snd ehy
    Pondweed o2 corresponds rate photosynthesis
  • Where does lactic go via blood to get converted to glucose
    Liver
  • What does lactic acid get brokfn fown by
    oxygen into co2 h2o
  • What does energy from respiration maintsin
    Body temp
  • What is respiration
    Cells release energy from glucose
