Q

Where does the CO2 to go?

Study These Flashcards
A

The Calvin cycle or light independent reactions

22
Q

What leave the light dependent reactions.

23
Q

What leaves the light independent reactions

Study These Flashcards
A

Glucose for C6, H 1206

24
Q

What is the ATP cycle during photosynthesis?

Study These Flashcards
A

It enters the Calvin cycle, then comes out as a DP plus P then goes back into the light dependent reactions and turns back into ATP

25
What does the NADPH do during the cycle of photosynthesis
It enters the Calvin cycle comes out as NADP then enters the light dependent reactions and comes back out as NADPH
26
What is cellular respiration?
A process that releases energy by breaking down food molecules in the presence of oxygen 
27
What is the formula for cellular respiration?
602+ C6 H 1206 yields six CO2 +6 H2O +36 ATP
28
What happens in the glycolysis part of cellular respiration?
2 ATP split glucose 2 pyruvate acids enter the Krebs cycle, hydrogen and electrons gets picked up by NAD, which turns into NADH four ATP are made
29
What happens in the Krebs cycle of the cellular respiration
The pyruvic acid get split
30
What happens to the CO2 when it becomes a waste
It gets exhaled
31
How much ATP are made from the Krebs cycle
Two
32
What happens in the electron transport chain?
The hydrogen electrons in oxygen, enter 32 ATP get made
33
Where does the H2O go in cellular respiration?
It gets released out of etc
34
How much ATP gets made during cellular respiration
36
35
Photosynthesis function
Energy capture
36
Cellular respiration function
Energy released
37
Photosynthesis location
Chloroplast
38
Cellular respiration location
Mitochondria and cytoplasm 
39
Photosynthesis reactants
CO2 and H2O
40
Cellular respiration reactants
C6, H 1206 and oxygen 
41
Photosynthesis products
C6, H 1206 and 02
42
Cellular respiration products
CO2 and H2O and ATP
43
What is fermentation?
The releasing of energy from food molecules by producing ATP in the absence of oxygen
44
What is anaerobic?
It does not require oxygen
45
What is the type of fermentation and bread and alcohol?
Alcoholic fermentation
46
What is the type of fermentation that causes soreness?
Lactic acid fermentation
47
Why are cells so small?
The mot has the more demands the sub places on a DNA and the harder it is for nutrients to move the volume increases more than the surface 
48
What is NAD plus
An electron carrier
49
What is NAD plus function
To carry hydrogen
50
Alcoholic, fermentation, formula
Pyruvic acid plus NADH yield alcohol plus CO2 plus NAD and ATP
51
What is lactic acid fermentation’s formula?
Pyruvic acid plus NADH use lactic acid +Nad +ATP
