Unit 4 Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

The PROCESS in which plants CONVERT LIGHT ENERGY into stored CHEMICAL ENERGY

Photosynthesis

GREEN PIGMENT in a plants LEAVES, that absorbs LIGHT ENERGY, FOUND in CHLOROPLASTS

Chlorophyll

TINY PORES plants USE to BREATHE in C02 in their LEAVES, that allows GAS EXCHANGE

Stomata

The SITE of PHOTOSYNTHESIS, ABSORBING RED and BLUE LIGHT due to Chlorphyll

Chloroplasts

6CO2, we BREATHE this OUT

Carbon Dioxide

6H2O, we BREATHE this OUT

Water

Simple SUGAR CREATED from PHOTOSYNTHESIS, C6H12O6, BECOMES the PLANTS BODY, COMBINED to MAKE CELLULOSE

Glucose

6O2, we BREATHE this IN

Oxygen

STURDY FIBERS that make up most PLANT TISSUE, COMBINED of GLUCOSE MOLECULES

Cellulose

OCCURS in the THYLAKOIDS

Calvin Cycle

ABILITY of a PLANT to ORIENT itself in RESPONSE to an ENVIRONMENT STIMULUS

Tropism

6C02(CARBON DIOXIDE) + 6H2O(WATER)

Inputs/Reactants

C6H12O6(GLUCOSE) + 6CO2(OXYGEN)

Outputs/Products

PRODUCES 36 ATP from ONE molecule of GLUCOSE, WITH OXYGEN, OCCURS IN MOST ORGANISMS, MOST EFFICIENT.

Aerobic Respiration

PRODUCES 2 ATP from ONE molecule of GLUCOSE, WITHOUT OXYGEN, FERMENTATION, OCCURS IN SOME ORGANISMS (BACTERIA, YEAST, DURING STRENUOUS ACTIVITY), LESS EFFICIENT,

Anaerobic Respiration

Where CELLULAR RESPIRATION takes place

Mitochondria

IT IS FULLY CHARGED, 3 PHOSPHATES, RELEASES ENERGY by BREAKING off the LAST Phosphate GROUP, TURNS into ADP

Adenosine Triphosphate

2 PHOSPHATES, A DEAD BATTERY,

Adenosine Diphosphate

Oxygen is Present

Aerobic

(FERMENTATION) NO Oxygen

Anaerobic
