Photosynthesis and transpiration Flashcards
Formula of Photosynthesis
CO2 + H2O + light -> CH2O + O2
Formula of respiration
C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + 36 ATP
light dependent reaction site
thylakoid
light dependent reaction process
light -> Photosystem II -> Pq -> Cytochrome complex -> Pc and light -> Photosystem I -> Pd -> NADP+ reductase -> NADPH ——-> Calvin Cycle
Calvin Cycle process
3CO2 -> Phase 1: Carbon fixation -> Phase 2: Reduction -> G3P (product) -> Phase 3: Regeneration of RuBP -> Rubisco -> back to Phase 1
CAM photosynthesis process
plants opens stomata at night to collect CO2 and chemically store it
then use the CO2 the next day without opening the stomata for photosynthesis
Photorespiration
O2 substitutes CO2 in rubisco
reduced photosynthetic rate
C4 plants process
CO2 -> 3C (PEP) -> 4C (C4) organic acid -> Calvin Cycle
minimizes the cost of photorespiration
Glycolysis occurs in
Cytosol
Krebs cycle occurs in
mitochondrion (matrix)
Chemiosmosis occurs in
mitochondria (inner membrane)
Glycolysis products
Glucose -> 2 pyruvate
2 ATP—————> 2 ATP
2 NADH
Krebs cycle products
2 pyruvate -> 6CO2 ———>6CO2
2 ATP————————> 2 ATP
8 NADH
2 FADH2
Chemiosmosis products
2 NADH (Glycolysis) * 2 ATP —–> 4 ATP
8 NADH (Krebs) * 3 ATP ———–> 24 ATP
2 FADH2 (Krebs) * 2 ATP ———-> 4 ATP
12H + 6O2 --> 6H2O -------> 6H2O
Total ATP product of respiration
36 - 38 ATP
