Everything For P & C Flashcards
Glycolysis
Anaerobic process in cytoplasm that splits glucose into 2 3 carbon molecules
Cellular respiration
Process where sugars and other carbon based molecules are broken down to produce ATP when oxygen is present
What does anaerobic mean?
No oxygen is present (glycolysis)
In glycolysis is the process inside or outside the mitochondria ?
Outside ( cytoplasm )
Equation for cellular respiration
6O2 + C6H12O6-> 6H2O + 6CO2 + energy
In what organisms does cellular respiration occur ?
Animals and plants
Where does the krebs cycle take place ?
Mitochondrial matrix
What is the process of cellular respiration ?
Glycolysis 2 3 carbon based molecules Carbon dioxide Energy is transferred to 2nd stage Oxygen and energy from glycolysis Water and large # ATP is produced
Is cellular respiration aerobic or anaerobic ?
Glycolysis is anaerobic
Cellular respiration is aerobic
Photosynthesis
Light energy is captured with CO2 to make sugars and oxygen
Equation for photosynthesis
6H2O+6CO2(light)->C6H12O6+6O2
What organism does photosynthesis occur ?
Plants
Calvin cycle ?
Another name for independent reactions which is CO2->sugar
Light dependent reaction
Sunlight+water->oxygen (make energy for independent reactions to occur
What are the energy carrying molecules ?
ATP and nadph
How do humans obtain glucose ?
eat food
What is the overall purpose for cellular respiration?
Produce ATP for the cell (to use in cellular processes like active transport)
What does the arrow stand for in a chemical reaction ?
Stands for yielding
