anaerobic respiration in animals
glucose is broken down into 2 atp and 2 lactate (lactic acid)
anaerobic respiration in plants
glucose is broken down into 2 atp 2 ethanol and 2 co2
steps of anaerobic respiration in animals
glucose combines with 2 ADP + Pi and 2 NAD. This makes 2 atp which is released and 2 pyruvate which then combines with the 2 NADH carrier molecule. this makes 2 NAD which can be used for the next reaction and 2 lactate.
steps of anaerobic respiration in plants
glucose combines with 2 ADP + Pi and 2 NAD. This makes 2 ATP and 2 CO2 and 2 pyruvate. the pyruvate combines with the hydrogen from the carrier molecule NADH to produce 2 ethanol. the carrier molecule returns to 2 NAD
what are the 3 stages of cellular respiration
glycolysis, krebs cycle, electron transport
what happens in glycolysis
glucose makes pyruvic acid and atp in the cytoplasm, electrons are also carried to electron transport stage through carrier molecule NADH.
what happens in the krebs cycle
pyruvic acid makes atp and electrons are carried in NADH and FADH 2 to electron transport (matrix)
what happens in electron transport
electrons carried from the krebs cycle and glycolysis combine to make atp in the cristae
two stages of photosynthesis
lights reaction and calvin cycle
what happens in the light reactions in photosynthesis
light energy combines with H2O in the grana. water is split, oxygen is released and hydrogen is carried by molecules NADP+. atp is also produced from ADP + P but is used up in the calvin cycle
what happens in the calvin cycle
co2 combines with hydrogen brought by carrier molecule NADPH and uses atp produced from light dependant stage to release glucose
parts of the leaves structure
cuticle, upper epidermis, palisade mesophyll, spongy mesophyll, phloem and xylem, lower epidermis, guard cell and stomata
function of the cuticle leaf
protection against dissication, harsh winds
function of epidermis
provides a protective barrier
function of palisade mesophyll
where most photosynthesis occurs
