Study Notes
Cellular Respiration
- ATP is produced during oxidative phosphorylation
- Water is produced during the electron transport chain
- Carbon dioxide is released during the Krebs cycle
- ATP synthase is the enzyme responsible for catalyzing the synthesis of ATP
Photosynthesis
- The Calvin cycle takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast
- The primary product of the Calvin cycle is glucose
- The light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membrane
- Photophosphorylation is the process of converting light energy into chemical energy
- NADP+ captures and transfers electrons during photosynthesis
Electron Transport Chain
- The electron transport chain generates a proton gradient
- Oxygen is the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain
- The electron transport chain is involved in the production of ATP
Glycolysis
- Glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose in the presence of oxygen
- Pyruvate is produced during glycolysis
- The net gain of ATP molecules during glycolysis is 2 ATP
Other Processes
- Fermentation is the breakdown of glucose in the absence of oxygen
- Anaerobic respiration in humans produces lactic acid as a byproduct
- The ATP synthase complex is involved in the production of ATP during cellular respiration
- ATP is primarily used for energy storage in cellular processes
- Aerobic respiration takes place in the mitochondrion
- The primary function of the Krebs cycle is to produce ATP and NADH
