Light Reactions
This membrane bound organelle picks up the light
What is the Chlorophyll?
Where does the Calvin cycle take place?
Chloroplast
This process breaks down glucose into two pyruvate molecules
The Krebs Cycle takes place inside this part of the cell
What is the mitochondrion?
This is the stage of cellular respiration where most ATP is produced.
What is the electron transport chain?
The main purpose of the light reaction is
What is to convert light energy into chemical energy
What molecule powers many reactions in the Calvin cycle?
ATP
This is where glycolysis takes place inside the cell
What is the cytoplasm
The molecule that enters the Krebs Cycle is formed from pyruvate and is called this
What is acetyl-CoA?
This organelle is where the electron transport chain takes place
What is the mitochondrion?
What is the role of sunlight in photosynthesis?
To excite electrons
What gas does the Calvin cycle use to make sugar?
Carbon dioxide
This molecule is the starting point for glycolysis
What is glucose
During the Krebs Cycle, carbon is released in this form
What is carbon dioxide (CO₂)?
The electron transport chain is located on this part of the mitochondrion.
What is the inner mitochondrial membrane?
What does the light reaction in photosynthesis produce
ATP or NADPH
What enzyme catalyzes the first step of the Calvin cycle?
Rubisco
This is the total number of ATP molecules produced
What is four ATP
One “turn” of the Krebs Cycle produces this many ATP molecules directly
What is one ATP (or one GTP)?
These molecules donate high-energy electrons to the ETC
What are NADH and FADH₂?
What color does light reaction absorb?
Red and blue
The main purpose of the Calvin cycle is to produce this type of molecule used for energy storage
What are carbohydrates
This many carbon atoms are in one molecule of glucose
What is six
The NADH and FADH₂ produced in the Krebs Cycle feed electrons into this process to make most of the cell’s ATP
What is the electron transport chain?
This is the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain.
What is oxygen (O₂)?
