4 photosynthesis, cellular respiration and biotechnological applications Flashcards
understand that specific enzymes are needed to catalyse each reaction during photosynthesis and cellular respiration
know what NADP+ and ADP do in photosynthesis
know what ADP, FAD and NAD+ do in cellular respiration (later)
state what happens to coenzymes once they have delivered their energy or H+
list the loaded and unloaded forms of NADP+, ADP, NAD and FAD (later)
state the inputs and outputs of the light dependant stage
state the inputs and outputs of the light-independent stage
state the location within a chloroplast (granum, stroma) where each stage occurs
state the role of Rubisco
explain the issues faced by C4 and CAM plants (desert and tropical plants)
describe the conditions in which rubisco is more likely to bind to O2 than CO2
describe photorespiration and when it occurs
state how C4 plants have adapted to avoid photorespiration
explain why PEP carboxylase can avoid photorespiration
state how CAM plants have adapted to avoid photorespiration
