Harvesting Energy in Cells Flashcards
Photosynthesis is like
is like eating
cellular respiration is the process
by which cells break down organic compounds an produce ATP
organic compounds plus oxygen results in
co2 + water + ATP
autotrophs and heterotrophs
misleading photosynthesis in reverse products in cell respiration are
the reactions in photosynthesis
the products of photosynthesis are reactants in
cell respiration
sunlight starts photosynthesis in the
chlorplasts
photosynthesis produces
oxygen and glucose
oxygen and glucose from photosynthesis go into
cellular respiration
cell respiration occurs in the
mitochondrion
cell respiration outputs
co2 and h2o which go back into photosynthesis
2 possible pathways
cell respiration and fermentation
cell respiration has organic compounds go into glycolysis producing
pyruvic acid and ATP
if oxygen is present the second step of glycolysis is
aerobic respiration results in c02 and h20 results in atp
if no oxygen present glycolysis results in
fermentation of organic compounds; the pyruvic acid and atp go thru anaerobic pathways resulting in lactic acid and ethyl alcohol and other compounds
glycolysis occurs in the
cytosol
