5.Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis Flashcards
Cells and energy
cells require chemical energy for all activities
store immediately usable chemical energy in the form of ATP
atp molecule high energy terminal phosphate bond broken easily release small packets of energy to carry out cellular work
once ATP is given up its charge becomes adp and pi is recharged and used again
cellular respiration
process produce energy breaking down organic molecules using glucose and oxygen
aerobic respiration
in cytosol and mitrochondria if 02 is present
glycolysis, krebs (mitrochondrial matrix) and electron transport chain
cellular respiration summary balanced chemical equation
C6H1206 + 6O2 -> 6Co2 + 6H2O + energy 30 or 32 ATP (some heat)
anaerobic cellular respiration
aka fermentation occurs when there is no oxygen present
only occurs in cytosol
produces only 2 ATP
builds up lactate acid in aniamls
results in production of ethanol and CO2 in plants and yeast
photosynthesis
process where chlorophyll and light energy turn carbon dioxide and water into chemical energy in the form of glucose
occurs in two stages light dependent and light independent
carbon dioxide and water -> oxygen and glucose and water
parts of the chloroplasts
