Calvin Benson Cycle (pathway for building glucose subunits)
|
RuBP from CO2 fixation split into 2 PGA. ATP gives a phosphate group to the PGA. NADPH gives hydrogen & electons forming PGAL.
|
|
total yield of ATP from aerobic and anaerobic respiration
|
aerobic - 36 ATP
anaerobic - 2 ATP |
|
3 events that take place during light-dependent reactions
|
1. pigments absorb light energy & give up electrons
2. electron & hydrogen transfers lead to development of ATP & NADPH 3. pigment that gave up electrons has them replaced |
|
3 functions of the 2nd stage of aerobic respiration
|
1.pyruvate broken down into water
2.strips hydrogen & electrons 3.stores (2)as coenzymes & transports them to 3rd stage |
|
3 stages of aerobic respirations and what happens
|
1. glycolosis
2. krebs cycle - pyruvate is broken down into CO2 and water 3.electon transport phosphorylation-produces 32ATP |
|
what energy releasing pathway is used by bacteria
|
anaerobic electron transport
|
|
net energy yield of glycolosis
|
2 ATP
|
|
2 types of fermentation, what organisms use them, how much ATP is produced, from what part of reaction is produced
|
lactate and alcoholic - bacteria and protists, 2 ATP, glycolosis
|
|
Where do light dependent and light independent reactions happen in the chloroplast?
|
light-dependent - thylakoid membrane in the grana
light-independent - stroma |
|
3 sources the body uses for storing and/or obtaining energy
|
carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids
|
|
why doesn't all energy produces become available for other reactions
|
its used to sustain the reactions
|
|
electron transport systems
|
organized sequence of enzymes & coenzymes bound to a membrane
|
|
what 2 pathways make ATP and which is more efficient?
|
cyclic & noncyclic
noncyclic is more efficient |
|
how do plants store their sugar phosphates and why in those forms?
|
sucrose - most easily transportable sugar
starch - osmotically inactive |
|
equation for photosynthesis
|
12H20 + 6CO2 -----> 6O2 + C6H12O6 + 6H2O |
|
3 general types of pigments found in chloroplasts and what they absorb
|
chlorophylls - violet to blue and red
carotenoids - violet and blue phycobilins - yellow and green |
|
difference between C3, C4, and CAM plants
|
C3 - less sensitive to cold, fix CO2 during day
C4 - very hot growing season, fix CO2 during day CAM - fix CO2 only at night, adapted to levels of low moisture, stomata closed during the day |
|
raw materials used in light-independent reaction
|
carbon dioxide, ATP, hydrogen, and electrons
|
|
2 products resulting from light-dependent reactions and what they provide
|
ATP - energy
NADPH - electrons and hydrogen |
|
equation for anaerobic respiration
|
C6H12O6 + 6O2 -------> 6CO2 + 6H2O
|
|
where aerobic & anaerobic pathways take place and the final acceptor of electrons
|
aerobic - cytoplasm, mitochondria - oxygen
anaerobic - cytoplasm, anything but oxygen |
|
light dependent reactions
|
energy from sunlight is absorbed and converted to ATP energy. Water molecules split and the hydrogen and electrons from splitting of water and becomes NADPH.
|
|
chemoautotrophs vs. photosynthetic organisms
|
chemoautotrophs use other chemicals for energy (sulfate)
photosynthetic use the sun as a source of energy |
|
3 energy releasing pathways
|
aerobic respiration
anaerobic respiration fermentation |
|
light independent reactions
|
ATP donates energy to places producing glucose. Carbon dioxide splits to provide carbon and oxygen. Water splits to form hydrogen.
|
|
by-product of light-dependent reaction and why its important
|
oxygen - it allowed an oxygen rich atmosphere to build up allowing animals to live and plants to expand population
|
|
What are the final products of photosynthesis?
|
sucrose, starch, and other carbohydrates
|
|
sugar phosphate is building block for what substances
|
glucose and sucrose
|
|
what are products of photosynthesis used for in a plant?
|
they are the building blocks for
-reparing, growth, survival, and reproduction |
|
Glycolosis
|
splits and rearragnes glucose into pyruvate, produces 4 molecules of ATP but only 2 are needed, oxygen is not used, happens in cytoplasm, 1st step in 3 pathways
|
|
carbon dioxide fixation
|
carbon dioxide is split apart and attaches to RuBP
|
