Producers of the biosphere
Autotrophs
Chemoautotrophs or Photoautotrophs: Use inorganic substances to produce food
Chemoautotrophs
Four types of heterotrophs
Herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, saprophytes
Balanced equation of photosynthesis
6 H2O + 6 CO2 —> C6H12O6 + 6 O2
Plant organelle where photosynthesis occurs
Chloroplast
Where does light dependent reaction occur?
Thylakoid
Reactants of light dependent reaction
H2O, sunlight, NADP+, ADP
Products of light dependent reaction
O2, ATP, NADPH
Where does the calvin cycle (light independent reaction) occur?
Stroma
Reactants of calvin cycle
CO2
Products of calvin cycle
ADP, NADP+, C6H12O6
When electrons go along ETC to turn ADP to ATP
photophosphorylation
3 phases of the Calvin cycle
Carbon Fixation, Reduction, Regeneration
Balanced equation of aerobic respiration
C6H12O6 + 6O2 —> 6H2O + 6 CO2 + ATP
Site of Glycolysis
Cytosol
