Photosynthesis/Cellular Respiration
|
Cellular Respiration
|
C6H12O6 + O2 → H2O + CO2
|
|
Photosynthesis
|
H2O + CO2 → C6H12O6 + O2
|
|
Other
|
|
|
(NADH, FADH2, NADPH):
Carry e- in the form of H+ ions. They drop e- either at the ETC to make ATP or the Calvin Cycle to help bond formation. |
|
|
ATP Synthase:
Enzyme that synthesizes ATP - Uses chemiosmosis in order to in order to phosphorylate ADP into ATP |
|
|
2 ATP + 1 Glucose → 2 pyretic acid + 4 ATP
|
|
PFK = allosteric enzyme inhibited by ATP
|
|
Facultative Anaerobes
|
Tolerate, but do not use, O₂
|
|
Obligate Anaerobes
|
Cannot live in an environment w/O₂
|
|
Alcoholic Fermentation
|
Converts pyruvate into ethyl alcohol + CO₂ & oxidizes NADH to NAD+
|
|
Lactic Acid Fermentation
|
Reduces pyruvate into lactic acid (lactate) & oxidizes NADH to NAD+
|
|
Key Points
In light-dependent reactions, the energy from sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll and converted into chemical energy in the form of electron carrier molecules like ATP and NADPH. Light energy is harnessed in Photosystems I and II, both of which are present in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts. |
|
Key Points
Carbohydrate molecules are assembled from carbon dioxide using the chemical energy harvested during the light-dependent reactions. |
|
Chemiosmosis
The movement of ions across a semipermeable membrane, down their electrochemical gradient. An example of this would be the generation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by the movement of hydrogen ions (H+) across a membrane during cellular respiration or photosynthesis. |
|
Photoresp.
|
rubisco binds with O₂ instead of CO₂; produces no ATP or sugar
|
|
C-4 Plants
|
Use alternate C-fixation (PEP carboxylase) that ends in a 4C compound (occurs in mesophyll & bundle sheath cells)
|
|
CAM Plants
|
Carbon fixation to organic acids at night → light reactions release CO₂ in the day
