Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Flashcards
Photosynthesis stores _______
Energy of the sun
Photosynthesis involves _____ reaction while respiration involves _____ reaction.
Reduction, oxidation
Does photosynthesis recycle energy?
No
Self feeding organisms
Autotrophs
Two types of autotrophs
Photoautotrophs, chemoautotrophs
Cannot make own food
Heterotrophs
Cellular energy; energy currency
ATP
Process of releasing atp’s energy
Phosphorylation
Cells use atp for
Active transport, movement, photosynthesis, protein synthesis, cellular respiration
A monosaccharide; C6H12O6; 90 times of atp
Glucose
Photosynthesis reactants
Water and CO2
Photosynthesis products
O2 and water and carbohydrates and starch
He concluded mass came from water
Van Helmont
He concluded plants releases O2 for burning (Candle in bell jar with mint)
Priestley
He experimented with sunlight and concluded light was necessary for oxygen
Ingenhousz
Proposed that plants can convert light into chemical energy
Julius Robert Mayer
They used isotopes to determine that oxygen comes from water
Samuel Ruben and Martin Kamen
He traced the path that Carbon takes to form glucose that does not require sunlight
Melvin Calvin - Calvin cycle; light independent reaction
Studied light independent reactions; first to describe Electron Transport Chain
Rudolph Marcus
Photosynthesis equation
6CO2 + 6H2O -> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Primary light absorbing pigment in autotrophs
Chlorophyll
Light energy unit
Photon
Light contains a mixture of wavelengths with diff colors. Yes or no?
Yes
