Cellular Respiration + Fermentation Flashcards
a substance that causes oxidation by accepting electrons; therefore, it gets reduced
oxidizing agents
a substance that causes reduction by losing electrons; therefore it gets oxidized
reducing agents
Converts solar energy into chemical energy (PGAL —> Glucose)
Photosynthesis
Breaks down Glucose into usable energy (ATP) for the cell.
Cellular Respiration
What intermediate products does Photosynthesis use?
NADPH and ATP
What intermediate products does Cellular Respiration use?
FADH2, ATP and NADH (are all electron/energy carriers)
What is the usable form of energy that our bodies can use?
