Front Back
Photosynthesis
Plants and other organisms convert light energy into chemical energy
Cell Respiration
The set ofmetbolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP
Equation Photosynthesis
6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy -----> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Equation Cell Respiration
C6H12O6 +6O2 -------> 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy
The bubbles formed during photosynthesis are made from what gas?
Oxygen
Glycolysis
Glucose is split into two molecules of a 3 carbon sugar
Produces 2 molecules of ATP, 2 molecules of pyruvic acid, and two high energy electron molecules carrying NADH are produced
Can occue with or without Oxygen
Without oxygen--- called fermentation
Citric Acid Cycle or Krebs Cycle
Compounds NAD and FAD are reduced and carry high energy electrons to the next stage/ Occurs only when oxygen is present but doesn't use oxygen directly
Electron Transport Chain
Requires oxygen directly, electron transport chain is a series of electron carriers in the membrane of the mitochondria in eukaryotic cells/ High energy electrons are passed to oxygen/ in this process ATP is produced
Which stage of cell respiration produces pyruvate?
Glycolysis
Which stage of cell respiration produces most ATP?
Electron Transport Chain
Organelle involved cell respiration
Mitochondria
Organelle involved in photosynthesis
Chloroplast
Aerobic Respiration
Contains oxygen (more efficient)
Equation Fermentation
C6H12O6--------> 2 C2H5OH + 2CO2
1 glucose molecule converted into two ethanol molecules and 2 carbon dioxide molecules
Endotherm
ORganism that produces heat through internal means/ muscle shivering or increasing metabolism
