Q

Do photoautotrophs undergo cellular respiration?

29
Q

Reactants for cellular respiration

A

Glucose and oxygen

30
Q

Products for cellular respiration

A

Carbon dioxide, water, and energy in the form of ATP

31
Q

Products for cellular respiration

A

Carbon dioxide, water, and energy in the form of ATP

32
Q

During aerobic respiration, what happens to most of the energy contained in the bonds of glucose starting molecules?

A

It is released in a series of catabolic (breaking down) reactions

33
Q

What stage of aerobic respiration produces the most ATP

A

Electron transport chain

34
Q

Aerobic respiration stage, glycolysis:

A

Formation of acetyl CoA

35
Q

Aerobic respiration, citric acid cycle:

A

Transfer electrons from glucose to the electron carrier molecules, NAD+ and FAD

36
Q

What happens during the electron transport chain?

A

As electrons are transported from one protein to the next, they go from higher to lower energy levels and are ultimately passed to oxygen, forming H2

37
Q

What is the function of ATP synthase, and what ‘powers’ it?

A

When H+ diffuse down their gradient, they pass through a proton channel, ATP synthase, providing energy for the synthesis of ATP and ADP and Pi

38
Q

Which process provides energy for proton pumping?

A

Free energy released electrons flowing down the energy gradient

39
Q

Process drivin by light energy, glucose molecules (or other sugars) are made from water and carbon dioxide, and oxygen is released as a byproduct

40
Q

Fixed carbon

41
Q

Carbon from carbon dioxide (inorganic carbon) is incorporated into organic molecules

A

Carbon fixation

42
Q

Found on the surface of leaves, and they allow carbon dioxide to diffuse into leaves, and oxygen to diffuse out

43

45
Q

49
Q

Takes place in the stroma, does not directly require light; uses energy from ATP and NADPH from light- dependent reactions to fix carbon dioxide and produce three carbon sugars which join up to form glucose or other organic molecules; capable of storing energy long term

A

Aerobic respiration

63

Light energy is converted to chemical energy, anabolic process, converts carbon dioxide into glucose. Oxygen is released as a byproduct

A

64
Q

In aerobic respiration, what is the ultimate source of electrons, and where do they end up?

A

Electrons are transferred from glucose to oxygen

65
Q

In photosynthesis, what is the ultimate source of electrons, and where do they end up?

A

Electrons are transferred from water ending up in NADPH

66
Q

What is the purpose of the electron transport chain in both processes?

A

Extreme transport chain to make a proton concentration gradient across a membrane

67
Q

What is the same about the way both processes produce ATP?

A

Electron transport chain drives ATP synthesis by the flow of protons down their concentration gradient through the enzyme ATP synthase

68
