(30 cards)
location of light dependent reaction
thylakoid membrane (inside chloroplast)
inputs of light dependent reaction
light energy
12 water
12 nadp+
18 ADP + Pi
outputs of LDR
6 oxygen
12NADPH (electron carrier)
18 ATP (energy carrier)
inputs of LIR
6 CO2
12 NADPH
18 ATP
outputs of LIR
Glucose
6 Water
12 NADP+
18 ADP + Pi
purpose of LDS
To capture light energy and convert it into chemical energy (ATP and NADPH)
Splits water (photolysis) to release oxygen as a by-product
location of LIS
stroma (fluid part of chloroplast)
purpose of LIS
To use the energy from ATP and NADPH to fix carbon dioxide and make glucose
location of glycolysis
cytosol
(outside mitochondria)
inputs of glycolysis
Glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆)
2 ADP + Pi
2 NAD⁺ 2H+
outputs of glycolysis
2 Pyruvate
2 ATP (net gain)
2 NADH
purpose of glycolysis
breaks glucose in half to make pyruvate
Produces a small amount of ATP and NADH
inputs of krebs cycle
2 Acetyl-CoA (Pyruvate converted to )
2 ADP + Pi
2 FAD+ 4H+
6 NAD⁺ + 6H+
location of krebs cycle
mitochondrial matrix
outputs of krebs cycle
4 CO₂
2 ATP
6 NADH
2 FADH₂
purpose of krebs cycle
Strips electrons from carbon compounds
Loads up NADH and FADH₂ with high-energy electrons
Releases carbon dioxide as waste
location of etc
Inner mitochondrial membrane (cristae)
inputs of etc
10 NADH
2 FADH₂
6 O₂
26/28 ADP + Pi
outputs of etc
6 H₂O
10 NAD+ 10H+
2 FAD+ 4H+
26/28 ATP
purpose of etc
Uses electrons from NADH & FADH₂ to create a proton gradient
Oxygen is the final electron acceptor → forms water
Produces most of the ATP!
ATP synthase
catalyses adp+pi -> atp in thylakoid membrane
nadph
carries electrons and hydrogen ions between stages
rubisco
key for carbon fixation - calvin cycle
enzymes
regulate each step of biochemical pathways -> ensure reactions are sped up and controlled
