30
this is where the calvin cycle occurs
stroma
31
a chemical reaction that happens in all living cells, including plant cells and animal cells. it is the way that energy is released from glucose
respiration
32

44
'It is the process used to move protons up a concentration gradient for subsequent production of ATP'
Chemiosmosis
45
Each pyruvate is converted into Acetyl-CoA, releasing CO₂ and producing NADH.
Pyruvate Decarboxylation:
46
Krebs Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle
Acetyl-CoA combines with oxaloacetate to form citrate, generating 2 ATP, 6 NADH, 2 FADH₂, and 4 CO₂ per glucose molecule.
47
Uses NADH and FADH₂ to produce a large amount of ATP (about 34) by transferring electrons across the mitochondrial membrane, with oxygen as the final electron acceptor, forming water.
Electron Transport Chain (ETC):
