respiration and photosynthesis Flashcards
what is the first stage of photosynthesis
light dependent reaction
what does the light dependent reaction produce
NADPH and ATP
what is another name for the light independent reaction
Calvin cycle
what is the first stage of the Calvin cycle
CO2 and RuBP combine to form GP. This uses the Rubisco enzyme
what does RuBP stand for and what process is it used in
ribulose bisphospahte. is in the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis
what is the second stage of the Calvin cycle
the GP is turned into TP requiring APT and NADPH from the light dependent stage
what does TP stand for
triosephosphate
what does GP stand for and what process
glycerate 3 phosphate and is in the Calvin cycle in photosynthesis
what is the first stage of glycolysis
glucose is phosphorylated using ATP forming Glucose Phosphate.
what is the second stage of gylcolysis
glucose phosphate is turned into triosephosphate. This is then oxidised to form pyruvate, releasing ATP and NADH
in aerobic respiration what happens to the pyruvate
actively transported from the cytoplasm into the mitochondria
what happens in the link reaction
pyruvate is oxidised to Acetate releasing NADH. This combines with CoA to form acetylcoA
what happens in Krebs cycle
oxaloacetate joins with acetyl CoA forming a 6C compound. this undergoes a series of redox reactions releasing reduced co enzymes. Substrate level phosphorylation occurs releasing ATP and a CO2 is also released.
