Photosynthesis and respiration

-Covers photosynthesis,respiration, and fermentation. Pretty basic and only covers the main points. This is not detailed and stuff

Photosynthesis and respiration notes

Lesson 1: Photosynthesis

-Photosynthesis stage 1 splits water molecules in the chloroplast and splits it into glucose and oxygen

-In stage 2 glucose is created and oxygen is released as a waste product

-Inputs are water and co2 and the outputs are oxygen and sugar(glucose)

Lesson 2: Respiration

-Cellular respiration is breaking down sugar molecules

-Stage 1 occurs in the cytoplasm where glucose is broken down

-Stage 2 occurs in the mitochondria and uses oxygen releasing a great deal of energy

-Mitochondria is the cells powerhouse

Lesson 3: Fermentation

-The release of oxygen from food without oxygen is fermentation

-fermentation releases less energy than cellular respiration

-Alcoholic fermentation produces alcohol ,carbon dioxide, and a small amount of energy

-Carbon dioxide creates gas pockets in bread dough

-Lactic acid is a product of fermentation in muscles
