First Law of Thermodynamics
Energy cannot be created or destroyed but it can be transformed from one kind to another
Second Law of Thermodynamics
One useable form of energy cannot be completely converted to another usable form. In energy transaction, useful energy decreases
Autotrophs
Self - Feeders - Producers
Make their own organic matters from inorganic nurtients. Includes plants, algae, certain bacteria
Heterotrophs
Other-Feeders-Consmers
Cannot make organic molecules from inorganic one. Eat plants or other animals
Waste Products of cellular respiration
CO2 and H20
Ingredients for photosynthesis ..
CO2 and H20
Equation for Cellular Respiration
Glucose + Oxygen –> CO2 + H20 + ATP
Cellular Respiration is Exergonic
where change in free nergy is negative. NET, release of energy. Photosynthesis is Endergonic (Requires energy)
Oxidation
The loss of electrons during a redox reaction
Reduction
The acceptance of electrons during a redox reaction
During cellular respiration
Glucose is oxidized… CO2
Oxygen is reduced.. H2O
Electrons from organic compounds are usually first transfered to
NAD+, a coenzyme
NADH passes the electrons to the …
electron transport chain
Steps of Celular Respiration
Glycolysis
Citric Acid
Oxidative Phosphorylation
Glycolysis Simple Definition
Breaks down the glucose into two molecules of pyruvate
Citric Acid Simple Definition
Completes the breakdown of glucose
Oxidative Phosphorylation
Amounts for the most of the ATP synthesis.
Amount Oxidative Phosphorylation accounts for.
Accounts for 90% of ATP generated by cellular respiration
Stage 1 Glycolysis
Uses two ATP per glucose to split six-carbon glucose.
Makes four additional ATP directly when enzymes transfer phoshphates group from fuel molecules to ADP
Net Production during Glycolysis?
Produces net of two molecules of ATP per glucose molecule
Glycolysis is anaerobic or aerobic?
Anaerobic
Glycolysis and Hydrogen atoms
Hydrogen atoms picked up by NAD+ –> NADH + H+
2NAD+ –> NADH + 2H+
2NADH –> ETC –> 5 ATP
Net gain/glucose for Glycolysis
2 Pyruvates + 2 ATP + 2 NADH
Transition Reaction; Pyruvate converted to..
