Cellular Respiration And Photosynthesis Flashcards
Energy cycle
Sunlight -
autotrophs transform into chemical energy(sugar) and oxygen
Cells use energy in chemical molecules to make ATP
Energy leaves as heat
Cycle between cellular respiration and photosynthesis
Light Photosynthesis Organic molecules and oxygen Cell respiration - ATP and C02 and h20 ATP turns to heat, c02 and h20 into photosynthesis
What is fermentation
Partial breaking down of sugars without the help of oxygen
What is cellular respiration
Oxygen broken down and consumed as a reactant along with an organic fuel
Equation for cellular respiration
C6H1206 + 6O2 –> 6CO2 + energy (ATP and Heat)
What is the change in free energy
-686 kCals
How does energy leave as heat
ATP broken down
How is ATP recycled
ATP - ADP + P - AMP + P + P
How fast is ATP Recycled in the muscles
Fast
What type of reaction is respiration
Ever going Catabolic Releases energy Negative delta G Spontaneous
What kind of reaction is photosynthesis
Endergonic Requires energy Anabolic Non spontaneous Positive delta G
What is the equation for photosynthesis
6H20 + 6CO2 + Light –> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Another word for redox
Oxidation reduction
Abbreviation for oxidation reduction and meaning
Oil rig
Oxidation is losing, reduction is gaining
What does the reducing agent do
Electron donor
Gets oxidized
Becomes more positive
What does the oxidizing agent do
Electron acceptor
Gets reduced
Becomes more negative
What part of cellular respiration is oxidation
Glucose to carbon dioxide
Which part of cellular respiration is reduction
Oxygen to water
What is one reducing agent
Methane
What is one oxidizing agent
Oxygen
Four steps to respiration
Glycolysis
Intermediate
Kreb’s
Electron transport chain
Basics of glycolysis
Occurs in cytosol
Breaks glucose into pyruvate
Basics of intermediate step
Cytosol into mitochondrial matrix
Breaks pyruvate into acetyl Co-A
Basics of krebs
Mitochondrial matrix
Acetyl Co-A broken into CO2
