photosynthesis and cellular respiration Flashcards
define photosynthesis
the process of transforming solar energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose
what are the inputs of photosynthesis?
CO2 + H20
what are the outputs of photosynthesis?
O2 and C6H12O6
what is the chemical reaction of photosynthesis?
6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight»_space;» C6H12O6 + 6O2
What are the two stages of photosynthesis?
light reaction and Calvin Cycle
what does the light reaction do?
Using energy to split H2O and produce energy (ATP and NADPH), output = O2
Where does the light reaction occur?
in thylakoid membrane in granum as it has chlorophyll that absorbs sunlight
What happens in the Calvin Cycle?
NAPDH and ATP break a bond to release energy to power the combination of hydrogen and CO2 to create glucose
where does the Calvin Cycle happen?
stroma (fluid in chloroplasts)
where does photosynthesis occur?
chloroplast
Define cellular respiration
the process of converting the chemical energy of glucose into a useable form of energy for the cell of ATP
Where does cellular respiration happen?
mitochondria
what are the inputs of cellular respiration?
glucose (C6H12O6) and O2
What are the outputs of cellular respiration ?
H20 + CO2 + ATP
what is the chemical reaction of cellular respiration?
C6H12O6 + 6O2»_space;» 6CO2 + 6H2O + 36 ATP
