Chapters 6&7 Cellular Replspiration And Photosynthesis Flashcards
Heterotrophs
An Organism that eats other organisms for food
Autotroph
An organism that makes its own food
Digestion
The process of breaking down food into smaller mol ovules
Catabolism
Break down of organic moloculess in metabolic pathways
Aerobic respiration
Respiration in the presence of oxygen
Anerobic respiration
Respiration noting the presence of oxygen, small quantity of tap
Fermentation
Partial degradation of sugars without oxygen into alcohol or acetic acid
Four stages of cellular respiration
- Glycolysis 2. Oxidation of pyruvate 3. Krebs cycle 4. Electron transport chain
Chemosynthesis
Occurs in places where there isn’t much light-> ex the ocean
What is delta g
Free energy-> 686kcal/mol
Photosynthesis reaction
6CO2 + 6H20 + light energy -> c6H12O6
Cellular respiration
Most efficient catabolic pathway, consumes oxygen and organic molecules, yields ATP.
Redox reactions
Any reaction which transfers electrons from one reactant to another
Cellular respiration steps
- Glycolysis (in cytoplasm) 2. Krebs cycle 3. ETC
Chemiosmosis
Releases 32-34 atp
Alcoholic fermentation
Pyruvate is converted to ethanol in 2 steps
Lactic acid fermentation
Ex when running Glucose->pyruvate
Photosynthesis light reaction
Carried out in thylakoids Converts light energy into ATP and NADPH Splits h20 and releases 02 into atmosphere Photo system 2 before photo system 1
Calvin cycle
Takes place in stroma Uses ATP and NADPH to convert co2 to the sugar G3 Returns adp, nadp+ and inorganic phosphate to light reaction
Glycolysis(cellular respiration)
Starts in cytoplasm with a 6 carbon glucose, cut in 1/2 into two pyruvates NET 2 ATP (produces 4, uses 2)
Krebs cycle/ citric acid cycle
Takes place in cristaste of mitochondria Acetal CoA(2 carbon) merges with oxaloacetic acid (4 carbon) to form 6 carbon citric acid Citric acid is oxidized in the cycle forming oxaloacetic acid again, released 3 NADH, 1 ATP, 1 FADH2 PER TURN (1 turn per Pyruvate-> 2 total turns)
Electron transport chain
2 FADH2 and 10 NADH from Krebs cycle are input into ETC, help pump things through ATP synthase and produce 30 ATP (plus 4 earlier = 34-38 total)
Stomates
Allow gasses like water vapor and oxygen into and out of the leaf
Thylakoid membranes
Where light reactions take place
