Why do leaves change colors in the fall?
The main pigment, chlorophyll breaks down, exposing other pigments.
anaerobic, without oxygen
Write out the equation of cellular respiration in the presence of oxygen.
Glucose + O2 --> CO2 + ATP energy + H2O
Describe the leaf disc lab.
We observed how the type of solution effected the rate of photosynthesis as leaf discs rose each minute. The leafs rose at a faster rate in the CO2 solution than the water solution.
When your cells are not getting enough oxygen during rigorous exercise, fermentation occurs to ensure that your cells get the energy they need. Your muscles burn when this product builds up in your muscle cells.
What is lactic acid?
Where does the light reaction occur and what does it produce?
The light reaction occurs in the thylakoid membrane and it produces ATP.
What happens to the carbon dioxide produced in animal cells during cellular respiration.
What is: it is exhaled and used as a reactant in photosynthesis
What are the 3 stages of cellular respiration, where do they occur, and how much ATP do they produce in each step?
1. Glycolysis (in the cytoplasm, 2 ATP)
2. Citric Acid Cycle or Krebs (in the matrix, 2 ATP)
3. Electron Transport Chain (in cristae, 32 ATP)
