Notes 

 Liver has many roles  

 It is a reddish brown  
 Liver detoxifies poisonous substances such as ethanol 
 Passes the broken-down products into the blood so they can be excreted 
 Breaking down old cells and storing the iron until it is needed 
 Removes lactic acid  
 Oxygen debt is repaid after the lactic acid build up is dealt with  
 Some of the glucose may be stored as glycogen and used at later moments
 
Trailblazer 
Liver removes lactic acid by converting the lactic acid in to glucose which is transported to the liver
by the blood. The glucose is then used to help repay the oxygen debt by aerobically respiring to then
form carbon dioxide and water. The excess glucose is then stored in the liver as glycogen.  

Lesson 9 

1) carbon dioxide + water = glucose + oxygen 

2) endothermic as heat is being absorbed from the surroundings  
3) light primarily the sun  
4) temperature, light intensity, carbon dioxide 
5) a factor that limits the rate of photosynthesis 
6) less co2 means less photosynthesis, temperature up to a certain point in addition to light
intensity 
7) maximize these limiting factors to maximize the rate of photosynthesis 
8) Place a torch a certain distance away from duck weed submerged in water. For a minute measure
the amount of gas given off or bubbles produced. Move at regular intevals repeting the length of
time and recording the bubbles or gas produced. Independent variable is the distance of the torch
from the plant. Control variable is room temperature, the type of plant used. Dependent variable is
the amount of gas given off. 
9) cellulose, store as starch, respiration for energy, proteins, store as sucrose, make fats and oils 
10) use iodine  
11) anaerobic respiration occurs in not in the presence of oxygen to produce energy glucose = lactic
acid + little energy  
Aerobic respiration happens in the presence of oxygen glucose + oxygen = carbon dioxide + water  
12) aerobic involves glucose and oxygen providing energy whilst also releasing carbon dioxide
and water whereas in anaerobic due to the oxygen debt glucose is used to produce little energy as
well as lactic acid which causes muscle fatigue 
13) Lactic acid is then broken down and removed 
14) exothermic 
15) need energy to live, helps regulate body temperature and energy needed to grow
