Photosynthesis and Respiration Flashcards
photo autotrophs are…
organisms that use light energy to gain their energy
autotrophs are…
organisms responsible for making their own food
chemo autotrophs are
organisms that use chemical energy to gain their energy
photosynthesis occurs in the…
chloroplasts
light energy used in photosynthesis is trapped by the…
chlorophyll
state the reaction for photosynthesis
6CO,2 + 12H,2O -> C,6H,12O,6 + 6O,2 + 6H,2O
in the light dependent reaction what does water become?
hydrogen, oxygen and ATP
state the word formula for the light independent reaction
ATP + Carbon dioxide + hydrogen ions -> glucose + water
which stage of photosynthesis is ATP formed
light dependant
which stage of photosynthesis is glucose formed?
light independent
what is the formula for cellular respiration?
C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + 36 ATP
what are the two types of cellular respiration?
anaerobic (fermentation, no oxygen) and aerobic (oxygen required)
in which organelle does respiration take place?
mitochondria
what are the 3 stages of respiration and how many ATP are created in each stage?
glycolysis (2), the Krebs cycle (2) and Electron Transport Chain (32)
