chemical equation for photosynthesis
6C20+H20+light —–> 6O2+ C6H16O6
stomata
opening for gas exchange (CO2 in and H2O & O2 out)
chloroplast
organelles that capture light energy, has 2 compartments (stroma & thylakoids)
stroma
fluid filled space outside the grana
thylakoids
sac-like membranes, a stack is called grana
pigment
molecules that absorb light and are found in thylakoid membranes
chlorophyll
most common pigment in plants, absorbs wavelengths of violet-blue light and reflects green light
cellular respiration produces…
CO2, H2O, and about 36~38 ATP
chemical equation for cellular respiration
C6H12O6+6O2 —–> 6CO2+6H2O+ATP
anaerobic process that follows glycolysis
anaerobic respiration or fermentation
two types of fermentation
lactic acid and alcohol
how many atp from glycolysis?
2 ATP
how many atp from krebs cycle?
2 ATP
how many atp from electron transport chain?
32~34 ATP
three main stages of cellular respiration
glycolysis, krebs cycle, electron transport chain
aerobic
with oxygen
anaerobic
without oxygen
