Formula for Cellular Respiration
|
C6H12O6 + 02 = 6[CO2] + 6[H20] + ATP
Glucose + oxygen = 6 Carbon dioxide + 6 Water + Energy |
|
Cellular Respiration : Stage 1 : Glycoysis
|
Occurs in the cytoplasmic fluid of the cell, that is, outside the organeles. Glycolysis begins respiration by breaking glucose into two molecules of a compound call pyruvate
|
|
Cellular Respiration : Stage 2 : Citric Acid Cycle
|
Takes place with in the mitochondria, completes the breakdown of gluceose by decomposing a derivative of pyruvate to carbon dioxide. The cell makes a small amount of ATP during glcolysis and the citric acid cycle. The main function how ever is to supply the third stage with electrons
|
|
Cellular Respiration : Stage 3 : Oxidative Phosphorylation
|
Involves the electron transport chain and a process known as chemiosmosis. NADH and a related electron carrier, FADH2, shuttle electrons to the electron transport chain. Most of the ATP produced by celular respiration is generally released by the downhill flow of electrons from NADH and FADH2 to O2 to ADP
|
|
What couples the electron transport chain to ATP synthesis
|
As the electron transport chain passes electrons down the energy staircase, it also pumps hydrogen ions across the inner mitochondrial membrane.
|

|
|
Glycolysis : Steps 1 - 3
|
A fuel molecule is energized using ATP.A sequence of three chemcical reactions coverts gluceose to a molecule of the intermediate Fructose-1,6[diphosphate]
|
|
Glycolysis : Step 4
|
A six carbon intermediate splits into three carbon intermediates. Fructose - 1 6[diphosphate] is highly reactive and breaks into 2 three-carbon intermediates. The two molecules of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate(G3P)
emerge from each glucose molecule that enters glycolysis. |
|
Glycolysis : Step 5
|
A Redox reaction generates NADH. The cells harvest its first parcel of energy. G3P is oxidized and NAD is reduced to NADH. This oxidation releases enough energy to attach a phosphate group to the substrate.
|
|
Steps : 6 - 9
|
ATP and pyruvate are produced. During these steps specific enzymes make four molecules of ATP by substrate-level phosphorylation. Water is produced at step 8 as a by product
|
|
Pyruvate pre-Citric acid cycle
|
As pyruvate is formed it is transported from the cytoplsam into the mitochondria, the sites of the citric acid cycle. A carbon atom is removed from pyruvate and realsed in CO2, The two-carbon compound remaining is oxidized while a molecule of NAD is reduced to NADH then a compound called coenzyme A, derived from Vitamin B joins the two carbon group to form a molecule called Acetyl Coenzyme A
|
|
Citric Acid Cycle : Step 1
|
The enzyme acetyl Col combiens with the remaining two-carbon acetyl group with oxaloacetate, already present in the mitochondrion. The product of this reaction is a 6 carbon molecule citrate ( The ionized form of citric acid )
|
|
Light Reactions : 1st step in photosynthesis
|
This includes the steps that convert light energy to chemical energy and produce O2 gas as a waste product, this ocurs in the thylkaoid membranes. Light energy absorbed by chloroplasts molecules built into the mebranes is used to make ATP from ADP and phosphate. It is also used to transfer electrons from water to NADP.
|
|
Calvin Cycle : 2nd step in photosynthesis
|
Occurs in the stroma of the choloroplast, it is a cyclic series of reactions that assembles sugar molecules using CO2 and the energy containing products of the light reactions. It is NADPH produced by the light reactions that provides the high energy electrons for reduction carbon in the calvin cycle. The ATP from the light reaction provides chemical energy that powers several of the steps of the Calvin cycle.
|
|

|
It consists of wavelegmth from about 380nm to about 750nm. ( Shorter wave length have more energy that are harmful to organic molecules )
|

|
|
Chlorophyll B
|
absorbed mainly blue and orange light and reflects yellow-green. It broadens the range of lgiht that a plant can use by conveying absorbed energy to chlorophyll a, which then puts the energy to work in the light reactions.
|
|

|
absorbed and dissipate excessive light energy that would otherwise damage chlorophyll
|
|
Electron flow in the light reactions of Photosynthesis : stage 1
|
A pigment molecule in a lgiht harvesting complex absorbs a photon of light. The energy is passed to an other pigment moleculess and finally to the reaction center of Photosystem II,
|
|
Electron flow in the light reactions of Photosynthesis : stage 2
|
This electron is capture by the primary electron acceptor
|
|
Electron flow in the light reactions of Photosynthesis : stage 3
|
Water is split, and its electrons are supplied one by one to P680, replacing those lost to the primary electron acceptor. The oxygen atom combines with an oxygen from an other split water molecule to form 02
|
|
Electron flow in the light reactions of Photosynthesis : stage 4
|
Each phtoexcited electron passes from photosystem II to photosystem I via an electron transport chain. The exergonic 'fall' of electron provides energy for synthesis.
|
|
Electron flow in the light reactions of Photosynthesis : stage 5
|
Meanwhile light energy excites an electron pf chlorophyll P700 in the reaction center of Photosystem I. The primary electron acceptor captures the excited electron and an electron chain replaces the lost electron in P700.
|
|
Electron flow in the light reactions of Photosynthesis : stage 6
|
The excited electron of Photosystem is passed through a short electron transport chain to NADP reducing it to NADPH
|
|
Calvin cycle : Step 1 : Carbon fixation
|
An enzyme called rubisco combines CO2 with a five carbon sugar called RuBP. The unstable product splits into two molecules of the three carbon organic acid
|
|
Calvin Cycle : Step 2 : Reduction
|
Two chemical reactions consume energy from 6 molecules of ATP and oxides 6 molecules of NADPH. 6 molecules of 3-PGA are reuced producing 6 molecules of the energy G3P
|
|
Calvin Cycle : Step 3 : Realease of one molecule of G3P
|
Five of the G3Ps from stem 3 remain in the cycle. The single molecule of G3P ypu see leaving the cycle is the net product of Photosynthesis. A plant cell uses two G3p molecules to make one molecule of glucose
|
|
Calvin Cycle : Step 4 : Regeneration of RuBp
|
A series of chemical reactions uses energy from ATP to rearrange the atoms in the five G3P molecules, forming three RuBP molecules. These can start another turn of the cycle.
