1. Photosynthesis Basics

PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Define:

A process by which an autotroph (ex. plant) uses the sun’s energy to make food (simple sugar= glucose)

Equation:

6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight C6H12O6 + 6O2

Phases:

1. Light Reaction

2. Dark Reaction

Simplified:

Production of simple sugar (glucose = C6H12O6)

2. Importance of Pigments • Chloroplasts contain pigments

• Pigments – absorb and reflect light – Chlorophyll, most common pigment, absorbs

all color of light except GREEN, it reflects it!– Fall leaves no chlorophyll

Stacks contain pigment that absorb light

3. Light Reaction

• Depends on light • End Product =

ATP used in dark reaction

4. Dark Reaction

• AKA the “Calvin Cycle” • Does not depend on light • End Result = GLUCOSE

2. Glycolysis

3. Citric Acid/Krebs Cycle

4. Electron Transport Chain

5. Comparison of Photosynthesis & Respiration

1.Cellular Respiration Basics

Cellular Respiration

Define:

A process by which mitochondria breaks down food to produce energy

Equation:

C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP

Stages:

1. Glycolysis

2. Citric Acid/Krebs Cycle

3. Electron Transport Chain

* All living things undergo cell respiration, even plants!

2. Glycolysis

• Does not require oxygen (anaerobic) • Series of chemical reactions that break down glucose

into 2 pyruvic acid molecules • Starts with 2 ATP • Produces 4 ATP • Net ATP = 2ATP

* Not most effective way to produce energy

3. Citric Acid or Krebs Cylce

• 2nd step of respiration only if oxygen is present Every turn

produces 1 ATP, 2 CO2

4. Electron Transport Chain

• Step #3 of Cell Respiration only if oxygen is present

• MOST EFFECTIVE way to produce ATP

• End result = 32 ATP

Cell Respiration in Review(Glue to Back)

• Fermentation – anaerobic process (no oxygen) by which food is broken down

• Types: – Lactic Acid – Alcoholic
