Cellular energy test

What is the goal of photosynthesis

to make glucose

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O

What are autotrophs?

Organisms that make their own food

Describe how photosynthesis and cellular respiration are opposite processes.

Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose. Glucose is used as food by the plant and oxygen is a by-product. Cellular respiration converts oxygen and glucose into water and carbon dioxide. Water and carbon dioxide are by- products and ATP is energy that is transformed from the process.

How are the products of the light dependent reactions carried over to the light independent reactions?

The Calvin cycle

Which are the reactants and which are the products of the photosynthesis equation?

carbon dioxide and water (the reactants) into glucose and oxygen (the products).

Which molecule from glycolysis is needed for the Kreb's cycle to begin?

pyruvic acid

How much ATP does glycolysis produce?

2 ATP

How much ATP does the Krebs cycle produce?

2 ATP

How much atp does electron train sport chain make

2 atp

What are the outputs of fermentation

2 lactate or 2 alcohol and 2 CO2

What is the equation for photosynthesis

6CO2 + 6H2O ------> C6H12O6 + 6O2

What products from the light dependent reactions are needed to start the light independent reactions?

ATP and NADPH

How does ATP work?

ATP has adenosine and is attached to three phosphates. It donates one o two phosphate to release energy to become ADP or AMP.

What is ATP?

Adenosine Triphosphate - ENERGY - is required for active transport.

What is the organelle and pigment used by plants for photosynthesis?

Chlorophyll

Why are plants green

Chlorophyll reflects green light

Explain the light dependent stage

In the light-dependent reactions, energy from sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll and that energy is converted into stored chemical energy

Explain the light-independent reactions stage

In the light-independent reactions, the chemical energy harvested during the light-dependent reactions drives the assembly of sugar molecules from carbon dioxide.

Why is fermentation important?

It regenerates NAD+ so glycolysis can continue.

What is fermentation?

Making ATP w/out oxygen

From where do cells get energy

Mitochondria

Why do cells need energy?

To Live, grow, and reproduce

How much ATP does cellular respiration generate?

Together, glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain release about 36 molecules of ATP per molecule of glucose.

When does fermentation occur?

absence of oxygen

Two types of fermentation

alcoholic and lactic acid

Where does glycolysis occur?

cytoplasm

What are the steps of cellular respiration

glycolysis, krebs cycle, electron transport chain

Where does the electron transport chain occur?

inner membrane of mitochondria

Where does the Krebs cycle occur?

mitochondrial matrix in eukaryotes

What are heterotrophs?

organisms that cannot make their own food
