ATP
Known as the energy currency of the cells
ATP
The process of converting light energy into chemical energy
Photosynthesis
Another name for the LIR
Calvin Cycle or Dark Reactions
Pathway followed by the pyruvate in the absence of oxygen
Fermentation
The order of events in cellular respiration
1. Glycolysis
2. Krebs
3. ETC
Breaking this releases energy
Phosphate bond
All the products of the light dependent reaction
O2, ATP, and NADPH
Site of the Calvin Cycle
Stroma
Site of glycolysis
Cytoplasm
Site of Krebs
Matrix of mitochondria
The components of ATP
Adenine, sugar, three phosphates
The light absorbing pigments in chloroplast
Chlorophyll
Gas used in the LIR to make sugars
CO2
Glycolysis breaks down glucose into two of these
Pyruvates or Pyruvic acid
Number of ATPs made per molecule of glucose in cellular respiration including glycolysis
38 (2 from glycolysis, 2 from Krebs, 34 from ETC)
Three electron carriers that also provide energy
NADPH, NADH, FADH2
This is a by-product of the LDR
O2
This comes from LDR carrying electrons to provide energy
NADPH
The two types of fermentation
Lactic acid and alcoholic
These provide the H ions and high energy electrons
NADH and FADH2
Enzyme complex in which ATPs are generated by facilitated diffusion
ATP synthase
The source of the high energy electrons in the LDR
H2O
Chemical name of the most important product of the Calvin Cycle
Glucose
Important electron carrier recycled in fermentation
NADH (NAD+)
The final electron acceptor in the ETC!
O2
