Glycolysis, Kreb's or ETC
What makes pyruvate?
Glycolysis
How many steps are in a light-dependent reaction?
7
What is another name for a light-independent reaction?
the Calvin cycle
Which molecule energizes the 3PGA?
ATP
Pathways which synthesize large molecules from smaller ones
Anabolic
Which of the three steps makes the most ATP?
ETC (Electron Transport Chain)
What are the two main products of a light-dependent reaction?
ATP and NADPH
Why is it called a light-independent reaction?
Because this type of reaction does not require electrons to get excited from the sun's energy
Glucose provides energy for cellular respiration, how much is produced in one cycle?
1/2 is produced
Where does the Calvin cycle take place?
Stroma
What is powered by acetly CoA and releases CO2 as a byproduct?
Kreb's cycle
Why is water needed for PSII but not for PSI?
The water replaces the H+ ions that got excited and travelled down the chain
In order, what are the steps of a light-independent reaction?
Carbon dioxide fixation
Activation & Reduction
Replacement of RuBP
What does G3P do?
Regenerates RuBP and makes up glucose
Is photosynthesis endothermic or exothermic and why?
Endothermic because it requires energy from the sun to occur
The loss of a carbon and an attached coenzymA is needed before which step can happen?
Kreb's cycle
What is step 3 of a light-dependent reaction?
Photolysis
What happens in the second step of a light-independent reaction?
(6)ccc+(6)ATP --> (6)!ccc! --(6)NADPH ---> (6)G3P
Which two molecules require 6 for a cycle?
ATP and NADPH
What is the movement of hydrogen ions down a gradient?
Chemiosmosis
Which of the steps is anaerobic?
Glycolysis
Which steps share the same name(s)?
Steps 2 and 6 (both called ETC)
Steps 5 and 7 (both called reduction)
What enzyme is in the first step of a light-independent reaction?
Rubisco
What molecule provides the carbon back bone?
RuBP
What is the thylakoid?
The structure in which chlorophyll is contained
