    Study Notes

    Endocytosis and Exocytosis

    • Endocytosis: The process of taking substances into a cell by engulfing them.
    • Exocytosis: The process of releasing substances from a cell.

    Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes

    • Prokaryotes: No nucleus, simple structure (e.g., bacteria).
    • Eukaryotes: Have a nucleus, more complex (e.g., plants and animals).

    Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis

    Types of Organisms

    • Autotrophs: Organisms that make their own energy (e.g., plants).
    • Heterotrophs: Organisms that get energy by eating others (e.g., animals).

    Electron Carriers

    • Electron carriers: Molecules like NADH and FADH₂ that transport energy during respiration.

    Photosynthesis Products and Waste

    • Photosynthesis Products = Glucose and Oxygen
    • Photosynthesis Waste = Water

    Energy from the Sun

    • Photosynthesis uses sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into sugar and oxygen.

    Cellular Respiration Steps

    • Energy from the sun: Photosynthesis uses sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into sugar and oxygen.
    • Glycolysis → Krebs Cycle → Electron Transport Chain

    Cellular Respiration Products/Waste

    • Cellular respiration Products = ATP; waste products = water and carbon dioxide.

    Aerobic Respiration

    • Aerobic respiration: The first step of respiration, breaking down glucose for energy.

    Krebs Cycle

    • Krebs Cycle: Produces electron carriers for the electron transport chain.

    Electron Transport Chain

    • Electron Transport Chain: Uses electrons to make a large amount of ATP.

    Lactic Acid Fermentation

    • Lactic Acid Fermentation: Energy production in the absence of oxygen.
