Producers of the biosphere
Autotrophs
Chemoautotrophs or Photoautotrophs: Use inorganic substances to produce food
Chemoautotrophs
Four types of heterotrophs
Herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, saprophytes
Balanced equation of photosynthesis
6 H2O + 6 CO2 —> C6H12O6 + 6 O2
Plant organelle where photosynthesis occurs
Chloroplast
Where does light dependent reaction occur?
Thylakoid
Reactants of light dependent reaction
H2O, sunlight, NADP+, ADP
Products of light dependent reaction
O2, ATP, NADPH
Where does the calvin cycle (light independent reaction) occur?
Stroma
Reactants of calvin cycle
CO2
Products of calvin cycle
ADP, NADP+, C6H12O6
When electrons go along ETC to turn ADP to ATP
photophosphorylation
3 phases of the Calvin cycle
Carbon Fixation, Reduction, Regeneration
Balanced equation of aerobic respiration
C6H12O6 + 6O2 —> 6H2O + 6 CO2 + ATP
Site of Glycolysis
Cytosol
Site of Krebs Cycle
Mitochondrial matrix
Site of ETC
Inner membrane of mitochondria
Another name for the Krebs cycle
Citric Acid cycle
How does the electron transfer go in the Electron Transport Chain?
from least electronegative to most (oxygen)
Movement of ions along their electrochemical gradient
Chemiosmosis
What is the maximum number of ATP that can be produced during aerobic respiration?
38
Two types of fermentation
Alcoholic (ethanol) and Lactic acid (lactate)
Chemical formula for ethanol
C2H6O
Chemical formula for Lactic acid
C3H6O3
