Repiration Photosynthesis Flashcards
(30 cards)
Mitochondria Structure
Double membrane
Inner membrane - highly folded with enzyme
Mitochondrial matrix - enzyme
Aerobic respiration 3 steps
- Glycolysis
- Krebs Cyble
- Oxidative Phosphorylation
Glycolysis
Glucose -> 2 Triose Phosphate -> 2 Pyruvate
-2ATP
+4ATL + 2 NADH
Cytoplasm
No O2 needed
Bridging between Glycolysis and Krebs Cycle
Pyruvate + Coenzyme A -> Acetyl CoA
Acetyl CoA travels to Krebs Cycle
CoA(carrier) regenerated
+CO2 +NADH
Krebs Cycle
4C + Acetyl CoA -> 6C -> 4C
-CoA regenerates
+CO2×2 + 3NADH + FADH + ATP
Mitochondrial Matrix
Oxidative phosphorylation
Oxidation:
NADH -> NAD + H+ + e-
FADH -> FAD + H+ + e-
e- to redox
NADH forms 3 ATP
FADH forms 2 ATP
H+ e- bonds with O2
H2O
Number of ATP from Respiration
38
Importance of oxygen in respiration
Final electron acceptor
Regenerate FAD NAD
If not, all beyond glycolysis stops
Types of Anaerobic respiration ×2
- Alcoholic Fermentation
2. Lactic acid fermentation
Alcoholic respiration
By what
Equation
Yeast
Glucose -> Pyruvate ×2 -> Ethanol (2-C) ×2 + CO2 ×2 + 2ATP
Lactic Acid Fermentation
By What
Equation
Muscle cells during strenous exercise
Glucose -> Pyruvate ×2 -> Lactic Acid (3-C) ×2 +2ATP
Oxygen debt
What is
Importance
Taking in extra O2 after strenuous exercise
Break lactic acid from fermentation
To CO2 + H2O / Glycogen
Application of Alcoholic Fermentation in Yeast
Brewing beer + wine
Raising dough
Ethanol as biofuel
Application of Lactic Acid Fermentation in Bacteria
Cheese + Yoghurt (lactic acid coagulates milk)

Chloroplast Structure
Double membrane
Stroma - Fluid with starch grains +enzymes
Thylakoid - Disc like, chlorophyll ON the membrane
Grana - A stack of thylakoid
Granum interconnected - efficient tranport
Testing for Photosynthesis occurence
Starch - Iodine
Oxygen - Glowing Splint
Requirement for Photosynthesis
Test
Chlorophyll -Variegated leaves (white not purple)
CO2 - KOH removes CO2
Light - Aluminium foil
Testing for starch - remove starch first - dark for 24 hours
Destarching
Photosynthesis process ×2
- Photochemical Reaction
2. Carbon Fixation: Calvin Cycle
Photochemical reactions ×3
- Light Absorption
e- excited, Electron Tranport Chain, release energy
Energy -> 2. Photophophorylation
3. Photolysis
- Photophosphorylation
Light Energy - ADP+P -> ATP - Photolysis
H2O -> Hydrogen + Oxygen
Hydrogen - NADP -> NADPH
Oxygen - side product
Calvin Cycle
In Stroma
CO2 + 5-C -> 3-C ×2
3-C ×2 -> Triose phosphate (3-C) (reduction) (Use ATP NADP, regenerated)
Triose phosphate ×2 = Glucose
Some regenerate to 5-C (Use ATP)
Equation Photosynthesis Overall
6CO2 + 6H2O -> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Factors affecting rate of Photosynthesis ×2
Light intensity
CO2 conc.
Saturation point - Levels off - limit by other factors
Light intensity at saturation pt. is Optimum Light Intensity
