Cellular respiration and Photosynthesis Flashcards
Happens in the thylakoid ; Use energy from light to produce ATP, oxygen and NADPH
light-dependent reactions
Happens in the stroma ; set of reactions in photosynthesis that do not require light; energy from ATP and NADPH is used to build high-energy compounds such as glucose
light Independent Reactions (Calvin Cycle)
Happens in the cytoplasm ; Process by which cells release energy in the absence of oxygen
Fermentation
organelle found in cells of plants and some other organisms that captures the energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy
Chloroplast
Green pigment in plants that absorbs light energy used to carry out photosynthesis
Chlorophyll
A flattened membrane sac inside the chloroplast, used to convert light energy into chemical energy.
Thylakoid
fluid portion of the chloroplast; outside of the thylakoids
Stroma
6CO2 + 6H2O –> light energy –> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Photosynthesis equation
Process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen
cellular respiration
C6H12O6+6O2—> 6CO2+6H2O+ATP
cellular respiration equation
Process that requires oxygen
Aerobic
Process that does not require oxygen
Anerobic
Happens in cytoplasm ; the breakdown of glucose by enzymes, releasing energy and pyruvic acid.
Glycolysis
Happens in the mitochondria ; second stage of cellular respiration, in which pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide in a series of energy-extracting reactions
Krebs Cycle
Happens in the mitochondria ; uses the high-energy electrons from the Krebs cycle to convert ADP into large amounts of ATP
Electron Transport Chain (ETC)
