photosynthesis and cellular respiration Flashcards
cellular respiration chemical equation?
6O2 + C6H12O6 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O
photosynthesis chemical equation?
6CO2 + 6H2O -> 6O2 + C6H12O6
cellular resp purpose?
make ATP from glucose
photosynthesis purpose?
make glucose from light energy
How does a human get the reactants for cellular respiration and what happens to the products?
Reactants from food and water. The products: ATP, water, and CO2. ATP is used up as energy, water is released through our bladder and sweat, and we breathe out CO2.
Glycolysis
occurs: cytoplasm
reactants: ATP, glucose
products, 4 ATP, 2 NADH, 2 pyruvate
ATP: 2
Krebs
occurs: mitochondrion
reactants: 2 pyruvate
products: 8 NADH, 2 ATP, 2 FADH2
ATP: 2
electron transport chain
occurs: mitochondrion
reactants: NADH, FADH2, C2
products: ATP H2O
ATP: 32
what type of organisms perform photosynthesis
autotrophs
light dependent reactions
occurs: thylakoid membrane
reactants? sunlight and h2o
products: ATP NADPH, O2
light independent reactions (calvin)
occurs: stroma
reactants: CO2, ATP, NADPH
products: glucose, NADPH, ADP
why would a person be breathing heavily and sweating after exercising vigorously for 90 minutes?
When a person is breathing heavy, it is caused by the need to take in more oxygen. More oxygen is needed for a higher rate of respiration. Higher rate of respiration = more ATP produced. When you are exercising, you need energy, thus you ned to produce more ATP. Thus you need to have a higher rate of respiration. Thus you need more oxygen. Thus you breathe heavier, trying to take in more of that air/oxygen. For sweating, in cellular respiration, water is released, and you’d expel that water through sweating.
what molecules cycle between the chloroplasts and mitochondrion and describe what processes allow for that to occur.
carbon dioxide is used in photo then expelled in CR. Oxygen is expelled in photo then used in CR.
What is not a product of light-dependent reactions?
H2O
What is CO2 a reactant of?
light-independent reactions
