During photosynthesis, light energy is converted into these two chemical energy carriers used in the Calvin cycle.


ATP AND NADPH

100
The organelle that performs cellular respiration in ALL plant and animal cells.
What are mitochondria?
100
It converts food into energy, allowing us to think, breathe, and move. Basically, we would not be alive without it.
What is cellular respiration?
100

This process involves the loss of electrons during chemical reactions.


oxidation

100
The organelle in which photosynthesis occurs.
What are Chloroplasts?
200

This cycle occurs in the stroma and uses ATP and NADPH to build sugars from carbon dioxide.


calvin cycle 

200
The process cells use to take food energy and turn it into ATP.
What is Cellular Respiration?
200
Increased trees means that there is more photosynthesis occurring. More photosynthesis means there is more food for animals, which means that more animals can live.
What is the effect of planting more trees in an area?
200

This enzyme uses a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane to make ATP.


ATP SYNTHASE

200

Carbon Dioxide, Water

What are the inputs of photosynthesis?

300

Despite making their own food, plants still use this organelle to perform cellular respiration.


mitochondrion

300
Glucose and Oxygen
What are the inputs of cellular respiration?
300
The cycle that keeps the amounts of carbon dioxide and oxygen fairly constant in the atmosphere
What is the cycle made by photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
300

During this cycle, carbon from acetyl-CoA is released as CO₂, and NADH and FADH₂ are produced.


CAC

300
Glucose and Oxygen.
What are the outputs of Photosynthesis?
400

Photosynthesis converts sun energy into food, making energy available for plants and animals. It also makes Oxygen, which we need to breathe.

Why is photosynthesis so important?

400
Carbon Dioxide, Water, and ATP
What are the outputs of cellular respiration?
400
An increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would increase the amount of this process happening.
What is photosynthesis?
400

This molecule acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, forming water.


O2

400
It is not a physical input to photosynthesis, but is required for the reaction to proceed. Because of this, we write this form of energy above the arrow in the chemical equation for photosynthesis.
What is sunlight?
500

This enzyme catalyzes the first major step of the Calvin cycle by fixing CO₂ into organic molecules.


Rubisco 

500
The energy currency of the cell
What is ATP
500
This process will screech to a halt if Sacramento goes into a major drought in the summer?
What is photosynthesis?
500

These reactions take place in the thylakoid membranes and produce ATP and NADPH.

This green pigment absorbs light most strongly in the blue and red wavelengths.
