Photosynthesis and metabolism are crucial biological processes that involve complex chemical reactions. This summary explores the key aspects of photosynthesis, including its limiting factors, glucose utilization, respiration, and metabolism. It also delves into exercise-related concepts such as oxygen debt and anaerobic respiration.

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen using light energy. The chemical equation for photosynthesis is:
6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
Highlight: The three main limiting factors of photosynthesis are light, carbon dioxide, and temperature.
Plants use glucose produced during photosynthesis for various purposes:
Example: Farmers use expensive greenhouses to control light and heat, which increases crop yield.
Respiration is an exothermic reaction that can be aerobic or anaerobic. A required practical experiment involves using sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and pondweed to measure oxygen production during photosynthesis.
Vocabulary: Bioenergetics refers to the study of energy transformations in living organisms.
Metabolism encompasses all chemical reactions in the body, including:
During exercise, lactic acid accumulates in muscles, creating an oxygen debt. This debt is repaid by taking in extra oxygen after exercise to remove lactic acid.
Definition: Oxygen debt is the extra amount of oxygen the body needs after exercise to eliminate accumulated lactic acid.
Anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen and produces less energy than aerobic respiration. In humans, it results in lactic acid production, while in yeast, it leads to ethanol and carbon dioxide .
Example: Fermentation is used in the production of alcohol and bread.
This comprehensive overview covers key concepts in photosynthesis limiting reactants, glucose utilization in plants, respiration, metabolism, and exercise physiology, providing a solid foundation for understanding these important biological processes.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

Just amazing. Let's me revise 10x better, this app is a quick 10/10. I highly recommend it to anyone. I can watch and search for notes. I can save them in the subject folder. I can revise it any time when I come back. If you haven't tried this app, you're really missing out.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
