Unit C Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Flashcards
Chloroplasts
responsible for photosynthesis
Granum
a stack of thylakoid
Thylakoid
contain chlorophyll (fill the thylakoid) - where the light dependant reactions occur
Lumen
inside of thylakoid
Stroma
empty space inside of chloroplast - where the calvin cycle occurs
Rf value
pigment distance/solvent front distance
Photosystem II
uses light to convert H20 into O2, H+ ions and high energy electrons
Cytochrome Complex
uses energy from electrons to pump H+ ions into the lumen
Photosystem I
reenergizes electron using light
Ferrodoxin
carries electrons from PSI to NADP+ reductase
NADP+ Reductase
uses energy to convert NADP+ and 2H+ into NADPH and H+
ATP Synthase
Uses the concentration gradient to convert ADP and P into ATP
Calvin Cycle
Carbon Fixation: CO2 + RuBP with Rubisco = 3-PGA
Reduction: 3-PGA + ATP and NADPH = G3P
Some G3P = Glucose
Regeneration: G3P + ATP = RuBP
Mitochondria
site of cellular respiration
Glycolysis
occurs in cytoplasm - converts glucose into 2 pyruvate + 2 ATP
Anaerobic Cellular Respiration
produce end products such as ethanol, CO2 or lactic acid
Inbetween Step
pyruvate + Coenzyme A = Acetyl-CoA
Kreb’s Cycle
- Acetyl CoA + 4C = Citrate (6C)
- Citrate = 4C + 2NADH + 2 CO2
- 4C produces ATP + NADH + FADH2
Oxidative Phosphorylation
- electron carriers (NADH FADH2) drop electrons
- (ETC) Electrons lose energy (staircase) and from 32-34 ATP
- Electrons + O2 = H2O
Electron Transport Chain
electrons pump H+ from matrix into the inner membrane space
