|
Photosynthesis
|
Plants and other organisms convert light energy into chemical energy
|
|
Cell Respiration
|
The set ofmetbolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP
|
|
Equation Photosynthesis
|
6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy -----> C6H12O6 + 6O2
|
|
Equation Cell Respiration
|
C6H12O6 +6O2 -------> 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy
|
|
The bubbles formed during photosynthesis are made from what gas?
|
Oxygen
|
|
Glycolysis
|
Glucose is split into two molecules of a 3 carbon sugar
Produces 2 molecules of ATP, 2 molecules of pyruvic acid, and two high energy electron molecules carrying NADH are produced Can occue with or without Oxygen Without oxygen--- called fermentation |
|
Citric Acid Cycle or Krebs Cycle
|
Compounds NAD and FAD are reduced and carry high energy electrons to the next stage/ Occurs only when oxygen is present but doesn't use oxygen directly
|
|
Electron Transport Chain
|
Requires oxygen directly, electron transport chain is a series of electron carriers in the membrane of the mitochondria in eukaryotic cells/ High energy electrons are passed to oxygen/ in this process ATP is produced
|
|
Which stage of cell respiration produces pyruvate?
|
Glycolysis
|
|
Which stage of cell respiration produces most ATP?
|
Electron Transport Chain
|
|
Organelle involved cell respiration
|
Mitochondria
|
|
Organelle involved in photosynthesis
|
Chloroplast
|
|
Aerobic Respiration
|
Contains oxygen (more efficient)
|
|
Equation Fermentation
|
C6H12O6--------> 2 C2H5OH + 2CO2
1 glucose molecule converted into two ethanol molecules and 2 carbon dioxide molecules |
|
Endotherm
|
ORganism that produces heat through internal means/ muscle shivering or increasing metabolism
