Bioenergetics Flashcards
Autotroph
Making your own food
Heterotroph
Intake food from outside
Aerobic
Requires air
Anaerobic
Does not require air
Chlolophyll
Pigment that absorbs light
Fermentation
The process in which cells make ATP without air
Photosynthesis
Plant cells turning carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen using light dependent reactions and the Calvin Cycle.
Cellular Resperation
Cells turning glucose and oxygen into carbon dioxide, water, and 30-38 ATP
ATP
Cell energy
What is the equation for Photosynthesis?
6 carbon dioxide + 6 water > glucose (C_6 H_12 O_6) + 6 oxygen
In what type of cell and where in the cell does photosynthesis take place
Plant cell in the chloroplast
Light dependent reactions
Intakes water, produces oxygen, uses hydrogen and electron charge to produce ATP and NADPH
Calvin Cycle
Uses Fixation, reduction, and regeneration to take in carbon dioxide and produce glucose while emitting ADP + P and NADP+
What takes place during Fixation
3 RuBp + 3 carbon dioxide > 6 3-phosphoglycerate
What takes place during reduction?
6 3-phosphoglycerate + 6 ATP + 6 NADPH > 6 G3P (1 of which goes to glucose yield) + 6 ADP+P + NADP+
