22
Q

outer membrane of chloroplast

A

separates the chloroplast from the rest of the cell

23
Q

inner membrane chloroplast

A

regulates the diffusion of necessary materials in & out of the chloroplast (H2O, CO2, O2) and increases the amount of surface area for more photosynthesis

24
Q

Leaf function & structure

A

most photosynthesis occurs, stomata on bottom due to sunlight

25
stomata
serve as channels and allow gases to diffuse in & out of leaf and allow water to pass
26
Why do leaves change color in autumn
they contain pigments carotene and xanthophyll(yellow) and when sun isn't as intense, the chlorophyll doesn't mask the other pigments and begins to break down, allowing other pigments to show
27
Energy carrier
ATP (ADP+E+P)
28
Electron carriers
NADHP & FADH
29
how many glucose molecules can be produced during photosynthesis each second?
thousands
30
The light Reaction
-Light dependant -takes place in grana +requires light + chlorophyll
31
Glycolysis
series of reactions in the cytoplasm which breaks 6C glucose into 3C pyruvate, and makes ATP and NADHP to be used in e-transport chain
32
Kreb Cycle
breaks pyruvate down further in the mitochondria, produces electron carriers NADPH + FADH2, + releases CO2 as a waste product
33
Electron transport train
uses O2 as final e- acceptor to produce ATP + release water as a waste product
34
Fermentation
"anaerobic cellular respiration", part degreation of glucose when O2 not present, allows lactic acid to happen due to glycolysis continuing, forms 2 ATP
35
heterotrophs
unable to produce their own food bc lacking chloropyll, takes in energy through outside sources
36
Cellular Respiration
process eukaryotes use to break down carbohydrates + carbon molecules to make ATP when O2 is present
37
How do we maintain our body temp?
as we digest food + break bonds, some E is used for work and some is released as heat
38
Plants undergo both:
Photosynthesis, Cellular Respiration
39
Chemical reaction for Photosynthesis
6CO2 + 6H2O + E--C6H12O6+ 6O2
40
Chemical Reaction for Cellular Respiration
C6H12O6 + CO6 -- 6CO2 + 6H2O --E
41
why do plants close their stomata
to prevent water loss when conditions are hot or dry
42
C3 plants
go through Calvin cycle 3 times + produce half glucose
43
C4 plants
go through Calvin Cycle 4 times + produce C4 molecules to release in a leaf for use of stomata, allows plants to grow in intense conditions
