Miss Estruch・27 minutes read
Miss Estri provides comprehensive resources and videos for AQA biology students, covering topics like photosynthesis, aerobic and anaerobic respiration, energy transfer in ecosystems, nutrient cycles, and the impact of fertilizers on water sources. It is important to understand key concepts like the Calvin cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, and the nitrogen and phosphorus cycles to grasp the complexities of biology.
Insights
- Photosynthesis involves two main stages: light-dependent reactions on the thylakoid membrane and light-independent reactions in the stroma, utilizing ATP and reduced NADP to produce hexose sugars.
- Energy transfer in ecosystems starts with producers, leading to energy loss between trophic levels; understanding biomass, GPP, and NPP is crucial for comparing productivity, while nutrient cycles like nitrogen and phosphorus are essential for life, with fertilizers replenishing nutrients but potentially causing environmental issues like eutrophication.
