Q

Calvin cycle

A

The ATP and NADPH made in the light reactions are used to power the Calvin cycle. This takes place in the stroma. In this process six CO2 are used to make a six carbon sugar called glucose

Q

Cellular respiration

A

The process by which energy of glucose is released in the cell. To be used for life processes. Such as movement breeding blood circulation. Says require constant source of energy for life prep process, but only keep only a small amount of ATP on hand. Sounds can we generate ATP as needed by using the energy stored in food like Google us. The energy stored in glucose by photosynthesis is released by cellular respiration is packaged into the energy of ATP. Respiration occurs in the cytoplasm and mitochondria and you can take place either with or without oxygen present

20
Q

Glycolysis

A

Occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell molecules of glucose are broken down into two molecules of pyruvate

21
Q

Krebs cycle

A

The Krebs cycle is located in the matrix of the sale of the mitochondria it starts with two pirates and ends with CO twoATPsix and 8PDPH2FADH2s and his overall goal is to open with it and make into electron carriers

22
Q

Electron transport chain

A

L

23
Q

Aerobic

A

J

24
Q

Anaerobic respiration

A

Occurs when no oxygen is available to the cell

25
Q

ferMentation

A

Occurs when no oxygen is available to the cell releases energy from food without using oxygen there are two types of fermentation alcoholic and lactic acid fermentation
