Figure 8.53 shows a plant cell. Base on the figure 8.53 1. Suggest how oxygen is used in M organelle? In the presence of oxygen, glucose is oxidized to release energy,carbon dioxide and water 2. State the equation (chemical) of the process occurs in the M organelle. C6H12O6 + 6O2 ------------- 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + energy 3.State the uses of the product from that process for plants. Carbon dioxide and water is the reactants for photosynthesis in the plants.

2.EXPLAIN THE INTAKE OF OXYGEN FOR RESPIRATION.

EXPLORING FURTHER!!!

The stomata of leaves are closed at night. How do plant cell carry out aerobic respiration at night?

3.EXPLAIN AEROBIC AND ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION IN PLANTS


Crops like corn could live several hours in mud. The root of soy beans could live within 30 minutes only in anaerobic condition. The crops like paddy could live in the waterlogged.

Base on the above statement, explain the inference


Plants cells do carry out both aerobic and anaerobic respiration.

ii. Write down the reaction equation of the process occurs in the root cell in the waterlogged condition.
C6H12O6 ------------- 2C2H5OH + 2 CO2 + energy

3.EXPLAIN AEROBIC AND ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION IN PLANTS


Aerobic respiration O : Plant C : Presence of O 2 CE : Glucose is completely oxidized R : Glucose + Oxygen Carbon dioxide + energy + water Anaerobic respiration O : Plant C : Lack/ absence of O 2 (* during flood or seed germination) CE : Glucose is incompletely oxidized R : Glucose ethanol + Carbon dioxide + energy

4.COMPARE AND CONTRAST THE PROCESS OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND RESPIRATION.

Respiration and photosynthesis are dependent on each other

Photosynthesis produces the raw materials for respiration, and respiration produces the raw materials for photosynthesis

Photosynthesis 1. Occurs in all green plant. 2. Produce energy. 3. Carbon dioxide and water.

Differences Aspects Occurrence Purpose Raw material

Respiration Occurs in all living cells . Release energy. Glucose and oxygen.

4. Glucose and oxygen.


5. Takes place in the chloroplast 6. Required 7. Light energy is required. 8. Carbon dioxide + Water Glucose + water + oxygen

Products

4.COMPARE AND CONTRAST THE PROCESS OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND RESPIRATION.


Similarities Both occur in living cells. Both processes involve a series of enzyme reactions. Both processes involve in maintaining the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the air. Both processes involve changes in chemical energy in organic substances

4.COMPARE AND CONTRAST THE PROCESS OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND RESPIRATION.

Figure 6 shows processes P and Q that takes place in two different organelles in the mesophyll palisade cells. Explain what happens during processes P and Q.[4 marks ]

2 : TRIAL 2005
a) Process P and Q. Process P is photosynthesis

Process Q is respiration. .

5.RELATE LIGHT INTENSITY WITH COMPENSATION POINT

COMPENSATION POINT
D: The rate of photosynthesis is equal to the rate of respiration E1: The Carbon dioxide released from respiration is equivalent to the Carbon dioxide used up during photosynthesis. E2: The oxygen produced during photosynthesis is used up for respiration. E3: The exchange of gaseous is at equilibrium E4: No net gain or loss in the sugar production. S: the growth, reproduction, and seed production are impossible in plants

5.RELATE LIGHT INTENSITY WITH COMPENSATION POINT


Phase I F : As the light intensity increases, the rate of photosynthesis also increases. E : Oxygen is absorbed and CO2 is released during cellular respiration. Phase II F : Light attains a particular intensity at which the rate of respiration is balanced by the rate of photosynthesis. (COMPENSATION POINT) E1 : Plant experiences no gain or loss of O 2 or CO2 to the atmosphere E2 : The rate sugar usage is the same as the rate of sugar production
Phase III F : As the light intensity continue to increase during the day, rate of photosynthesis is higher than the rate of respiration E1 : All CO2 produced during respiration are used by the plants cells for photosynthesis. The plant must now take in CO2 from the atmosphere to supplement the need for a higher requirement of CO2 E2 : The excess oxygen produced from photosynthesis diffuses from the plant to the surrounding environment.

6.PREDICT THE SITUATION WHEN THE RATE OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND RATE OF RESPIRATION REMAINS AT COMPENSATION POINT. The growth, reproduction, and seed production are impossible in plants.

How to overcome??
-the rate of photosynthesis must exceed the rate of respiration on a daily basis. -this enables the rate of sugar production to exceed the rate of sugar consumption. -therefore, the excess sugar can be used for growth and other vital living processes in plants. - at the same time, the excess O2 produced during photosynthesis is released into the atmosphere to sustain living things.

ANSWER SCHEME
In boiling tube Q

F1 Photosynthesis takes place because light intensity is high in Q.


E1 Less CO2 dissolved in the hydrogen bicarbonate indicator. E2 The colour of hydrogen bicarbonate indicator change to purple. In boiling tube R F1 Leaf does both photosynthesis and respiration // Leaf receive medium light intensity.

E4 The quantity of CO2 produced by photosynthesis is the same as the CO2 used by the leaf for respiration.
E5 The colour of hydrogen bicarbonate indicator remains the same.

F1 : P is compensation point

F1 : point P is not exist


E1 : the rate of photosynthesis is higher at optimum level of light intensity

E2 : compare to the rate of respiration


E3 : carbon dioxide from respiration is used for photosynthesis E4 : consumption of carbon dioxide during photosynthesis is higher along the day E5 : no point where the produced of carbon dioxide is equal to the consumption of carbon dioxide
