ATP (adenine triphosphate) is...

a molecule that transfers energy from the breakdown of food molecules to cell processes

the energy carried by ATP is released when a phosphate group is...

removed from the molecule

ATP has 3 phosphates, but...

the bond holding the third phosphate group is unstable and easily broken

ADP (adenine diphosphate) is formed when..

the bond is broken, and energy from the ATP is released

ADP can be recharged.

when the phosphate is added back to the molecule, it is ATP and it can be reused over and over again

in photosynthesis, what is combined with what to produce what?

carbon dioxide and water are combined with solar energy to produce glucose and oxygen

in cellular respiration, what is combined with what to produce what 3 things..?

sugar and oxygen are combined to produce carbons dioxide, water, and energy in the form of ATP molecules

PHOTOSYNTHESIS FORMULA

6CO2 + 6H2O + ENERGY > C6H12O6 + 6O2

CELLULAR RESPIRATION FORMULA

C6H12O6 + 6O2 > 6CO2 + H2O + ENERGY

what’s the fluid that fills the chloroplast?

stroma, which is rich in proteins & contains enzymes vital for cellular processes

thylakoids are..?

the internal, membrane-bound compartment formed by thylakoids membranes

thylakoids are..?

the internal, membrane-bound compartment formed by thylakoids membranes

the internal part of the thylakoids is called...

lumen, and it contains molecules required for the transport of electrons

stacks of thylakoids are called...

grana, and are connected to each other through inter grana thylakoids and stroma thylakoids

light dependent reactions require?

sunlight

how do light dependent reactions work?

energy from sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll and converted into stored chemical energy, in the form of the electron carrier molecule NADPH and the energy currency molecule ATP

light independent reactions (Calvins cycle) do not require...

sunlight

how do light independent reactions work?

the energized electrons from the light-dependent reactions are used to provide the energy to form carbohydrates from carbon dioxide molecules

glycolysis occurs in..

the cytoplasm of cells, outside of mitochondria

glycolysis occurs in..

the cytoplasm of cells, outside of mitochondria

what happens during glycolysis?

glucose is split into 2 pyruvic acids, this also creates 4 ATP and 2 NADH electron carrier molecules

glycolysis occurs in..

the cytoplasm of cells, outside of mitochondria

what happens during glycolysis?

glucose is split into 2 pyruvic acids, this also creates 4 ATP and 2 NADH electron carrier molecules

Kreb’s cycle occurs in the _____ of the mitochondria

matrix

how does the Kreb’s cycle work?

it produces 6 carbon dioxide molecules by combining the carbons from the pyruvic acids with oxygen molecules as well as 8 NADH and 2 FADH2 electron carrier molecules, and 2 ATP that the cell can use for energy

the electron transport chain occurs in the _________ of the mitochondria

inner membrane, within the cristae

how does the electron transport chain work?

the ETC uses 10 NADH electron carrier molecules (2 from glycolysis, 8 from the Krebs cycle), 2 FADH2 (from the Krebs cycle), plus the 6 oxygen atoms from the original glucose molecule, and most importantly, 34 ADP and P that are waiting to be combined by the ATP synthase (an enzyme that makes ATP).

how does the electron transport chain work? (part two)

the electrons from the electron carrier molecules hop down the ETC and the H+ ions from the electron carrier molecules go across the inner membrane through active transport, they then charge back out through facilitated diffusion through the ATP synthase.

how does the electron transport chain work? (part two)

the electrons from the electron carrier molecules hop down the ETC and the H+ ions from the electron carrier molecules go across the inner membrane through active transport, they then charge back out through facilitated diffusion through the ATP synthase.

what are the products of the electron transport chain?

34 ATP

_______ will occur to produce energy if cellular respiration runs out of oxygen

fermentation
