Photosynthesis
What is Photosynthesis?
The process used by plants where the energy of sunlight is used to convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose.
What is Cellular Respiration?
Cellular Respiration is process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food in plants and animals.
What are the reactants to start the second stage of photosythesis?
CO2 and RuBP
The second stage of cellular respiration is called this.
What is the Citric Acid Cycle (aka Kreb's Cycle)?
The third stage of cellular respiration is called this ___.
What is the electron transport chain?
What are the 2 processes of Photosynthesis?
Light Dependent Reactions and Light Independent Reactions (Calvin Cycle)
What are the 3 stages of Cellular Respiration?
The 3 stages of Cellular Respiration are Glycolysis, Citric Acid Cycle (aka. Kreb's Cycle) and the Electron Transport Chain.
CO2 and RuBP undergo the Calvin Cycle to produce what product?
C6H12O6 (a sugar called glucose)
Aerobic
The electron transport chain occurs in this organelle.
What is the mitochondria (inner membrane)?
The sugar produced at the end of the Calvin Cycle can be used for ___.
Cellular Respiration
Glycolysis is an ___ process that DOES NOT use oxygen and occurs in the cytoplasm.
anaerobic
Do the Light Dependent Reactions and the Calvin Cycle both require light energy to perform? Explain.
No, only the Light Dependent Reactions require light, but the Calvin Cycle requires the products produced from the Light Dependent Reactions.
The organelle that the Citric Acid Cycle occurs in is called the ___.
Mitochondria
The electron carriers in the electron transport chain are known as ___ and ___.
FADH2 and NADH
What are the start and end products of the light-dependent reactions in Photosynthesis?
The starting reactants of Photosynthesis are light energy and Water.
What are the 2 types of Fermentation and what do they do?
1. Alcoholic Fermentation - Yeasts use this process to form ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide as the waste products. 2. Lactic Acid Fermentation - This occurs in bacteria and muscles when your body runs out of oxygen your muscles make ATP by fermentation and glycolysis.
Which of these 2 processes occurs first?
The Light Dependent Reactions occur first, and its products are used in the Light Independent Reactions/Calvin Cycle which occur second.
The reaction uses Acetyl CoA to produce what two products?
ATP and CO2
Which two stages are aerobic?
The Kreb's Cycle and Electron Transport Chain
Where do Light Dependent reactions take place?
In the chlorophyll.
In glycolosis, glucose is broken down into what two products?
ATP and pyruvic acid (a 3-C chain)
What are the end products of the Light Dependent Reactions?
At the end of the Light Dependent Reactions the electron transport chain releases O2 and creates chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.
The electron carriers deliver electrons from protein to protein to create this source of energy.
What is ATP?
