inputs and outputs of photosynthesis
inputs: carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) outputs: glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2)
29
where does photosynthesis occur?
chloroplasts
30
6 CO2 + 6H2O -light energy-> C6H12O6 + 6O2
photosynthesis

thylakoid membranes
40
Where do the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis occur?
...
41
inputs and outputs of the light-dependent reactions?
inputs: water (H2O) and light energy outputs: oxygen (O2), NADPH, and ATP

45
What kind of organisms undergo cellular respiration?
all organisms
46
Glycolysis
input: one glucose molecule output: two pyruvate molecules (2ATP --> 4ATP) (net gain: 2ATP) (+2electron carriers)
47
Kreb's Cycle
inputs: oxygen and pyruvate outputs (per glucose): 2ATP, electron carriers, CO2 (electron carriers proceed to electron transport chain)
48
Electron Transport Chain
inputs: electons power H* ion pumps = H* gradient output: up to 34? ATP (H* combine with oxygen and electrons to form water)
49
Fermentation
-oxygen not available -produces ATP Lactic Acid Fermentation or Alcohol Fermentation
50
Lactic Acid Fermentation
- performed by animals (including humans) | - produces lactic acid
51
Alcohol Fermentation
- performed by yeasts | - produces ethyl alcohol and CO2
52
aerobic pathway:

53
anaerobic pathway:
glycolysis, fermentaion
54
Which method is more effective, produces more ATP per glucose molecle
aerobic
55
ATP to ADP system
1. one phosphate group is removed, ADP is formed and energy is released 2. energy can also be restored in ATP be reattaching a phosphate
56
Adenosine diphosphate
ADP
57
ATP to ADP system 1
ATP -break bond-> ADP + P +energy(released)
58
ATP to ADP system 2
ADP + P + energy(stored) -make bond-> ATP
59
adenosine triphosphate
ATP
60
