Fermantation
A process generating NAD+ from NADH without oxygen present, creating a small amount of lactic acid or ethanol.
What is Fermentation and it’s byproducts?
Only plants, algae, and certain bacteria can perform this energy-producing-process.
Who/What can perform Photosynthesis?
The natural process which converts food energy/molecules into energy available to the cell.
What is ATP formation?
Glycolysis backwards
Gluconeogenesis is also known as…
True or False? The Dark reaction only takes place in the dark.
False (All previous points lost if you said true)
A reaction that takes place in the absence of oxygen.
Anaerobic Process
This process takes place in the chloroplasts, often mostly in the leaves of plants.
Where in the plant does photosynthesis take place?
Reactants: ADP, Pi, NADH, FADH2, Oxygen
Products: ATP, Water
What are the products and reactants of ATP formation?
What are the other 2 main stages of ATP production?
The Krebs Cycle, and Electron Transport.
Light and Dark reactions are part of what process?
Photosynthesis!
Microorganisms like bacteria and yeast.
What works to break down carbohydrates into other producuts during fermentation?
Light is captured by chlorophyll in plant cells in a process called Light Absorption.
Describe the First step in Photosynthesis.
What is Electron Transport?
How many ATP are produced vs really gained in Glycolysis?
4 ATP are produced but 2 are used to ”further power” glycolysis- so 2 ATP are ”gained”
Light or Dark Reaction?
Reactants: Light, water, NADP+, ADP + Pi
Products: Oxygen, NADPH, ATP
The Light Reaction, takes place in the Thykaloid membrane of chloroplasts and converts light to chemical energy (ATP and NADPH)
A product at the end of glycolysis, which accepts the electrons from NAD+ and regenerates it back into NADH; letting glycolysis repeat continue.
What is pyruvate?/What is pyruvate’s function?
Energy absorbed from light via chlorphyll gets exciting, causing the electrons to move and become unstable.
What is electron excitation?
Formed in Berlin, Germany in 1994, this rock band was probably Mr. Stubbs Most played artist in 2024.
Who is Ramstein?
What are the products of Glycolysis?
2 Pyruvate, 2 NADH, 4 ATP (gain of only 2)
A process that does not require direct light, instead it uses reactants ATP and NADPH to synthesize glucose: producing glucose, ADP, and NADP + Pi
What is the Dark Reaction/Calvin Cycle?
A world-famous British chef, know for his TV shows like Chopped and Hell’s Kitchen.
Who is Gordon Ramsey?
What happen once a chlorophyll loses it’s excited electron?
ATP is short for?…
Adenosine Triphosphate
What are the reactants of Glycolysis?
Glucose (duh), 2 NAD+, FAD, ADP + Pi, 4ADP + 4Pi
True or False? Hamsters are Cannibals.
