Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Flashcards
Definition of photosynthesis
process which green plant, algae, and some bacteria capture light to form simple sugars
What is used for photosynthesis
water and carbon dioxide
What is the byproduct of photosynthesis
oxygen gas
Definition of cellular respiration
process that breaks down glucose to provide energy in the form of ATP for metabolic processes
Cellular respiration is by used what organisms
producers and consumers
What is adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
high energy storing molecule in cells
What is ATP composed of
one adenosine molecule and three phosphate groups
What is adenosine comprised of
adenine and ribose sugar
ATP is present in all living …….
organisms
ATP fuels activities within a ……..
cell
Photosynthesis captures ……..from the ……..and stores it as ……….
energy;sun;glucose
Photosynthesis reaction equation
6CO2 + 6H2O + energy —> 6O2 + C6H12O6
C6H12O6
glucose
Light-dependent reactions
chloroplasts capture solar energy, water molecules are split, electrons are transported, H+ ions are released and ATP is made
Light-independent reactions
Calvin Cycle
Calvin Cycle
uses energy in ATP to add carbon dioxide to carbon-based molecules to make glucose
Glycolysis
splits glucose into pyruvate and makes ATP
Krebs Cycle
forms citric acid and breaks it down to form carbon dioxide and make ATP
Electron transport chain
electrons transport H+ ions across a membrane, H+ ions then produce more ATP and combine with oxygen to form water
What are the cycles that happen in cellular respiration
glycosis
Krebs Cycle
What is the specialized organelle for photosynthesis
chloroplasts
What is the specialized organelle for cellular respiration
mitochondrion
Chlorophyll
molecule that captures light energy in photosynthesis and gives plants their color
Uses of ATP
cellular respiration and and photosynthesis produce and use ATP to carry energy for the various reaction within each process
Uses of ATP in photosynthesis
uses ATP produced to synthesize glucose
Uses of ATP in cellular respiration
creates a net positive amount of ATP after breaking down glucose
Uses of electron transport train in photosynthesis and cellular respiration
both reactions use carrier molecules to transport electrons
Which process uses the electron transport train first
photosynthesis uses the chain first when sunlight energizes electrons
Cellular respiration reaction equation
6O2 + C6H12O6 ——-> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy
