Photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration Flashcards
photosynthesis worded equation
carbon dioxide + water ——- glucose + oyxgen
Photosynthesis
The process of which a plant cell, converts sunlight into chemical energy (glucose)
chlorophyll
green pigment, reflects green light and absorbs other colours
Where does Phase One (Light Dependent) of Photosynthesis occur?
Occurs in Thykaloid Membrane
where does phase 2 (Calvin cycle) of photosynthesis occur
occurs in stroma
What are the two stage of Photosynthesis?
- Light Reactions
- Calvin Cycle
Cellular Respiration
Process of converting Glucose into ATP/energy
Aerobic Respiration
Requires oxygen
Anerobic Respiration
Does not require oxygen
cellular respiration worded equation
glucose + oxygen —– carbon dioxide + water
Glucose in animals produces:
lactic acid and 2 ATP
Glucose in plants produces
alcohol, C02, 2ATP
Cellular Respiration Stages
- Glycolsis
- Krebs Cycle
Energy is released from ATP when…
A phosphate group is broken off, turning into ADP
Where does glycolsis occur? (cellular respiration)
cytosol
