Calvin Cycle
The reactants of photosynthesis are...
Water and Carbon Dioxide
During cellular respiration, energy from food is broken down and stored in ____________.
ATP
This gives plants their green color and is necessary for photosynthesis.
Chlorophyll
NADPH is the electron carrier molecule for ____________________ and NADH is the electron carrier molecule for _____________________.
NADPH - Photosynthesis
NADH - Cellular Respiration
A process of cellular respiration that takes place in the inner membrane of MITOCHONDRIA
Electron Transport Chain
(Also a process of photosynthesis that takes place in the membrane of the THYLAKOID)
The energy conversion that happens through photosynthesis is light energy to ________________
Is the process of Glycolysis anaerobic or aerobic, and what does that mean?
Anaerobic, it does not require oxygen.
Stacks of thylakoids found in the STROMA of the chloroplast
Grana or Granum
Name the two types of fermentation.
Lactic Acid Fermentation and Alcoholic Fermentation
Link Reaction
These are the two chemical products of the light reactions
ATP and NADPH
Which stage of cellular respiration produces the most ATP?
The Electron Transport Chain
Gel-like fluid found inside the inner membrane of a chloroplast.
Stroma
Under what conditions does fermentation happen?
When there is not enough oxygen present for cellular respiration to occur
A process of cellular respiration that takes place in the CYTOPLASM
Glycolysis
A water molecule is split during this process of photosynthesis
Light Reactions
Anaerobic respiration (also called fermentation) produces _______________ or _________________.
lactic acid or ethyl alcohol
This disk-shaped sac is the site of the light reactions of photosynthesis.
Thylakoid
What do photosynthesis and cellular respiration have in common? (Name 2)
Both contain Electron Transport Chains that produce ATP
Both happen inside specialized organelles
Electron carriers used in CELLULAR RESPIRATION
NADH and FADH2
The enzyme, ATP Synthase, uses the facilitated diffusion of ______________________ through its protein channel to rotate to form ATP.
Hydrogen Ions
The final electron acceptor in the ETC of cellular respiration is __________
Oxygen
What three things happen to light energy as the sun shines on plant cells?
1 - Absorbed by pigments and used in photsynthesis
2 - Transmitted as it passes through the cells
3 - Reflected and is the color we see
How do photosynthesis and cellular respiration differ? (Name 2 ways)
Photosynthesis uses water, CR releases water
Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide, CR releases carbon dioxide
