in terms of carbon, why is photosynthesis important?
fixes inorganic carbon from CO2 as organic carbon
What are the products of aerobic and anaerobic respiration?
aerobic : ATP, CO2, H2O
anaerobic : ATP, alcohol/lactic acid
products of photosynthesis
glucose + oxygen
how does ATP work?
third phosphate of ATP is snapped off releasing energy
which process of respiration are decoupled for endotherms?
the ETC and oxidative phosphorylation
what process is shared by both aerobic respiration and fermentation?
glycolysis
what type of transport is required for ATP synthase to work?
passive transport
what powers the active transport of H+ ions?
electrons falling from excited levels to less excited levels
what role does light play in the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis?
excite electrons
where are the H+ ions concentrated in photosynthesis?
the lumen
what molecules (2) provide the energy needed to power the light independent reactions?
ATP and NADPH
example of an electron acceptor
oxygen
