photosynthesis and cellular respiration Bio 20 alberta

Unbalanced cellular respration equation

C6H12O6=C02+H20+ATP

Balanced cellular respiration equation

C6H12+6CO2+H2O+ATP

Four stages of cellular respiration

1. Glycolosis

2. Pyruvate oxidation

3. Krebs cycle

4. Electron transport chain

Calvin Cycle reactants

ATP, NADPH and CO2

Calvin Cycle products

NADP, ADP, and glucoe

Glycolosis

The spliting of a 6 carbon glucose into two 3 carbon pyruvates

Fermentation that occurs in muscles when oxygen is scarce

Lactic acid fermentation

Pyruvate oxidation

one CO2 is released as waste the two left are oxidized as acetyl coezyme A is attached forming acetyl coA

Products of photosynthesis

glucose and oxygen

Photosynthetic pigments gathering light energy

Photosystems

Photons

Small packets of electromagnetic radiation

Role of light in photosynthesis

To provide energy

Role of water in photosynthesis

provides hydrogen and electrons

Cellular respiration

Reactions that release ATP stored in glucose

Carbon fixation

Adding CO2 to glucose

Chemiosmosis

the synthesiss of ATP using hydrogen ions and APT synthase

photosystem

a cluster of light aborbing pugments in the thylakoid membrane.
