|
Photosynthesis
|
* A process in which plants make carbohydrates (glucose)
|
|
|
Formula for Photosynthesis
|
* 6h20 + 6CO2 ----> C6 H12 O6 + 6O2
|
|
|
Organisms for Photosynthesis
|
* Plants, Protozoans, Algae
|
|
|
Organelle for Photosynthesis
|
* Chloroplast
|
|
|
Light Dependent Reaction
|
* Convert light energy into chemical energy
* Sun's rays are taken in by the Chlorophyll, excited electron ends up stored in the Stroma of the cell |
|
|
Chlorophyll (a & b)
|
* most common pigment in chloroplasts- absorb most wavelengths of light except for green
|
|
|
Electron Transport Chain
|
* a series of proteins embeded in the thylakoid membrane, where the excited electron is transported
|
|
|
ATP
|
* energy-storing molecule in cells composed of an adenosine molecule, ribose sugar and 3 phosphate groups
|
|
|
NADP
|
* an electron carrier molecule- combines with a hydrogen ion and becomes NADPH when carrying excited electrons
|
|
|
Stroma
|
* Where electrons are stored
|
|
|
Photolysis
|
* reaction when molecules of water are split in order to replace the lost electrons- water molecule produces 1/2 molecule oxygen, 2 hydrogen ions, and 2 electrons
|
|
|
Light Independent Reaction
|
* phase of photosynthesis where energy from light- dependent reactions is used to produce glucose
* part of photosynthesis that doesn't require light and takes place in the stroma |
|
|
Calvin Cycle
|
* taking NADPH + ATP + CO2 and making glucose
|
|
|
Cellular Respiration
|
the process in which glucose is broken into water, ATP, and carbon dioxide
|
|
|
Formula for CR
|
C6 H12 O6 + 6O2 ----> CO2 + H2O + ATP
|
|
|
Organisms for CR
|
everything...all
|
|
|
Organelle where CR takes place
|
Mitochondria
|
|
|
Aerobic Respiration
|
requires oxygen to occur -- citric acid cycle and electron transport chain
|
|
|
Anaerobic Respiration
|
doesn't require oxygen-- glycolysis
|
|
|
Glycolysis
|
1st step in Cellular Respiration
- glucose --> pyruvic acid - 2 ATP used - in cytoplasm |
|
|
Citric Actid Cycle
|
2nd step in Cellular Respiration
- glucose --> CO2 -2 ATP used - in mitochondria |
|
|
Electron Transport Chain
|
3rd step in Cellular Respiration
- O2 --> ATP - mitochondria |
|
|
Fermentation
|
doesn't require oxygen in order to take place
|
|
|
Lactic Acid Fermentation
|
glycolysis: glucose --> lactic acid
- 2 ATP - used in production of milk, cheese, yogurt, bread, and in muscules |
|
|
Alcoholic Fermentation
|
glycolysis: glucose --> Ethyl Alcohol
- 2 ATP - Yeasts, bacteria, alcohol, and ethenol |
|
|
ATP Molecule
|
- energy storing molecule in cells, adenosine attached to 3 groups of phosphate
|
