Which two factors display similar graphs when observing the rate of photosynthesis?
Light intensity and amount of carbon dioxide
What are the two types of fermentation?
Alcoholic and lactic acid fermentation
What are the products of photosynthesis?
CO2, carbon dioxide and water are released
What is the chemical formula for glucose?
C6H12O6
What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll is a pigment in the chloroplasts that absorbs energy from the sun.
When running a marathon, which process (cellular respiration or lactic acid fermentation) is better to use? Explain your answer.
Cellular respiration is better because it 1) provides long term energy and fermentation provides only short term energy or 2) it provides you with 36 ATP compared to the 2 ATP produced after fermentation.
Describe one reason why photosynthesis and cellular respiration are opposite processes.
1) Photosynthesis takes in energy while cellular respiration takes energy out. 2) The reactants of cellular respiration and the products of photosynthesis and vice versa.
Provide an example where we would use lactic acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation.
Lactic acid fermentation: (Either answer is correct) - 1) Humans use it for quick burst of energy. 2) We can use bacteria to make cheese, yogurt, or sour cream. Alcoholic fermentation: (Either answer is correct) - 1) Yeast can be used to make bread. 2) Organisms can be used to make alcoholic beverages.
