Photosynthesis -_- Flashcards
-generates ATP using an ETC in the absence of oxygen
-takes place in prokaryotic organisms that live in environments with no oxygen
-the final electron acceptors: sulfates or nitrates
anaerobic respiration
generates ATP without an ETC
-extension of glycolysis
-recycles NAD+
-occurs in the cytosol
-NO oxygen
fermentation
pyruvate is converted into ethanol
alcohol fermentation
pyruvate is reduced directly by NADH to form lactate
lactic acid fermentation
the process that coverts solar energy into chemical energy
photosynthesis
chloroplasts evolved from…?
photosynthetic bacteria
so when an absorption spectrum graph is high its…
when its low its…
absorbing, reflecting
-chlorophyll a
-P680-absorbs 680nm wavelength red light
photosystem 2
-chlorophyll b
-P700- absorbs 700nm wavelength red light
photosystem 1
photosynthesis is a redox process in which H20 is ____ and CO2 is ____
oxidized, reduced
builds sugar from smaller molecules by using ATP and the reducing power of electrons carried by NADPH
Calvin cycle
what are the three phases of the calvin cycle in order??
-carbon fixation
-reduction
-regeneration of the CO2 acceptor
what two molecules come from the light reactions and go to the calvin cycle?
ATP and NADPH
what are the products of glycolysis?
ATP, pyruvate, NADH
what are the products of the citric acid cycle?
NADH, FADH2, and ATP or GTP
