4. Describe how a plant survives the change of seasons in a temperate deciduous forest. Write a
short paragraph to explain your answer.

Temperate-forest plants are adapted to survive seasonal changes. In the fall and winter, trees shed their leaves and seeds go dormant under the insulation of the soil. With the returning warmth in the spring, the trees grow new leaves and seeds germinate.

cellular respiration oxidizes food into energy in the form of atps.

glycolysis (6 c hexose) > 2x atps are used > 6c hexose biphosphate > 2 x 3c triphosphate >

2 x 3c pyruvate (2x nadh produced from nad) and (4x atp produced)

pyruvate actively pumped mitochondrial matrix.
