Cellular Respiration
The process that releases energy (ATP) by breaking down glucose.

Aerobic respiration
Converting glucose into ATP in the presence of oxygen. total of 36-38 ATP, Location: mitochondria

Anaerobic Respiration
Converting glucose into ATP without the presence of oxygen. Net ATP=2, Location: cytoplasm
Alcoholic Fermentation
Type of anaerobic respiration used by organisms such as yeast to recycle products of glycolysis. Alcohol and Carbon Dioxide made,

Lactic Acid Respiration
Type of anaerobic respiration used by organisms such as bacteria to recycle products of glycolysis. Lactic acid made,

Glycolysis
First stage of anaerobic AND anaerobic cellular respiration. Breaks glucose down into two pyruvic acid molecules, net gain of 2 ATP.

ATP
Adenosine triphosphate. Energy.

Pyruvate
3 carbon sugar produced when glucose is split during glycolysis
Mitochondria
Organelle found in all organisms that is the site of aerobic cellular respiration

Aerobic Respiration
Uses oxygen

Fermentation
When oxygen is NOT present in anaerobic cellular respiration.

Glycolysis
The first step of cellular respiration

Cytoplasm
Place where cells perform glycolysis

Cellular Respiration Chemical Equation
C6H12O2 + 6O2 ------> 6CO2 + 6H20 + Energy (ATP)
Photosynthetic Equation
6H20 + 6CO2 --> C6H12O6 + 6O2

Location of Photosynthesis
Chloroplast

Reactants of Photosynthesis
6H20 + 6CO2

Products of Photosynthesis
C6H12O6 + 6O2

Photosynthetic Pigments
Chemicals that absorb light energy and use it to carry out photosynthesis. Contained in thylakoid membranes in chloroplast.

2 Reactions of Photosynthesis
Light Dependent Reaction
Light Independent Reaction

Requirements for Light Dependent Reaction
Light
Water

ATP (adenosine triphosphate)
Main energy source that cells use for most of their work.
Products of Light Dependent Reaction
ATP (from ADP)
NADPH (from NADP+)
6O2

Location of Light Dependent Reaction
Thylakoid Membrane (inside chloroplast)
