AP Bio Unit 3 Reactants and Products

photosynthesis

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + light energy (photons) —> C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

cellular respiration

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ —> 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy (38 ATP & thermal energy)

light-dependent reactions (photosynthesis)

light (photons) + H₂O + ADP + Pi + NADP⁺ —> O₂ + ATP + NADPH

calvin cycle (photosynthesis)

3CO₂ + 9 ATP + 6NADPH —> 6G3P (1 net G3P) + 9 ADP + Pi + 6 NADP⁺

glycolysis (cellular respiration)

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 2 ATP —> 2 pyruvates + 4 ATP (2 net ATP in whole reaction) + 2 NADH (4-6 ATP)

kreb’s cycle (cellular respiration)

acetyl + oxaloacetic acid = citric acid… citric acid + NAD⁺ —> 6NADH (12-18 ATP) + CO₂ + 2 ATP + 2 QH₂ (3-4 ATP)
