photosynthesis/cellular respiration ap bio review

in terms of carbon, why is photosynthesis important?

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
