y
what can be speeded up by enzymes?
photosynthesis
respiration
decomposition
what gas is produced in aerobic rep?
carbon dioxide
what gas is used in aerobic resp?
oxygen
what are enzymes made from?
protein molecules
they are made up of long chains of amino acids
what do enzymes do at high temps?
denature
what is an enzyme?
a biological catalyst that speeds up the rate of biological reactions in an organism without being used up.
stage 1
: photosynthesis
stage 2
: carbon is converted into carbs, fats & proteins for the animal
stage 3
: respiration
stage 4
: decomposition
factors that increase the rate of which microorganisms can digest materials
moisture
warmth
oxygen
recycling the materials of life:
organisms
remove material
from the environment
for growth and other purposes
. These materials are
returned to the environment
when the organisms
die.
3 ways the efficiency of a food chain can be improved
less animals
limit the movement
control the conditions in which the animals live in
what is energy used for
keeping warm
movement
growth
how can we control the rate of photosynthesis?
greenhouses can be used to make plants grow more quickly and become bigger and stronger.
why is too little light bad for a plant?
less light decreases the rate of which photosynthesis can happen
limiting factors for photosynthesis
light
temp
co2 conc
word equation for photosynthesis
carbon dioxide + water --> glucose + oxygen
why do plants need Mg?
to make chlorophyll which gives the plant its green colour
why do plants need nitrates?
to form proteins once added with amino acids
what do plants need?
mineral ions,
sunlight,
warmth,
carbon dioxide
what is a partially permeable membrane?
a membrane that only allows certain substances to pass through
when does diffusion take place?
when there is a net movement in particles
