Photosynthesis-ATP-Cellular Respiration Flashcards
1
Q
photosynthesis
A
solar energy is harvested chemical energy in a process that converts water & CO2 to glucose, O2 is released as a byproduct
2
Q
what is ATP and how is it produced
A
Adenosine Triphosphate transfers energy from food breakdown to cell functions
produced by: anaerobic glycolysis, krebs cycle, electron transport (oxidation)
3
Q
Amount of ATP produced by anaerobic glycolysis, aerobic glycolysis of one glucose molecule and lipolysis of one fatty acid
A
anaerobic glycolysis: 2 ATP
aerobic glycolysis: 2 (krebs) + up to 34 (e- transport chain) = 36 ATP
146 ATP from a triglyceride
