Photosynthesis and Respiration (Silva 1406)

States that mitochondria and chloroplasts were at one time independent prokaryotes

Theory of endosymbiosis

What is autotrophs and some examples of it?

- "producers", they can produce glucose

- ex: plants, algae, protists, prokaryotes

What is heterotrophs and some examples of it?

- "consumers", live on organisms to produce glucose

- ex: herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, decomposers

What is the most important biological process on earth?

photosynthesis

What is the formula for photosynthesis?

6CO2 + 12H2O ------> C6H12O6 + 6O2

Where does phtosynthesis occur?

Chloroplast

What are the two phases of photosynthesis?

light dependent and light independent

What is the only bacteria that undergoes photosynthesis?

Cyanobacteria

What is the green pigment associated with plants?

Chlorophyll

Light dependent reactions..

Split water, transports hydrogen ands produces oxygen, NADPH, and ATP

What is another name for light independent?

Calvin Cycle

Light independent (Calvin cycle) reactions...

Produce organic sugars, especially glucose

What are the raw materials for light dependent reactions?

Sunlight and water

What are the raw materials for light independent reactions?

Carbon dioxide, ATP, NADPH

What is the formula for cellular respiration?

C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
