Study Notes
Bromothymol Blue (BTB)
- BTB is a chemical indicator for carbon dioxide
- Blue color indicates no CO2
- Green color indicates some CO2
- Yellow color indicates a lot of CO2
Photosynthesis
- Overall Reaction: Sunlight + CO2 + H2O → O2 + Glucose
- Light-Dependent Reactions: Sunlight, ADP, NADP+, H2O → NADPH, ATP, O2
- Light-Independent Reactions: NADPH, ATP, CO2 → NADP+, ADP, Glucose
- Chloroplast Structure: Outer and inner membranes, thylakoid membranes, grana (stacks of thylakoids), stroma (space between grana)
- Photosystem II: Absorbs sunlight, generates high-energy electrons
- Photosystem I: Reactivates electrons from Photosystem II
- Electron Transport Chain: Electrons move from Photosystem II to Photosystem I, releasing energy to pump hydrogen ions into inner thylakoid space.
- ATP Synthase: Converts hydrogen ions into ATP.
Plant Structure
- Chloroplast arrangement: Spread out to maximize sunlight exposure
- Cuticle and epidermis: Protect plant cells
- Veins: Transport sugars
- Stomata: Primary transport of CO2, O2, water vapor
- Guard Cells: Regulate gas/molecule exchange (stomata opening and closing)
Calorie Lab
- Calorimeter: Measures heat exchange, minimizes energy loss
- Burning food: Breaks chemical bonds, releases energy
- Calories and water temperature: One calorie raises one gram of water by one degree Celsius.
Cellular Respiration
- Overall Reaction: Glucose + O2 → CO2 + H2O + ATP
- Glycolysis: Occurs in the cytoplasm, Glucose → 2 pyruvic acid, 2 ATP, NAD+ → NADH, ADP (?)
- Krebs Cycle: Occurs in mitochondria, Pyruvic acid → ATP, CO2, NADH, FADH2
- Electron Transport Chain: Occurs in inner mitochondrial membrane, NADH, FADH2, O2 → ATP, H2O, FAD, NAD+
- ATP Synthase: Converts hydrogen ions into ATP, ADP → ATP.
- Advantages over fermentation: Higher ATP yield, neutral byproducts
- Disadvantages of cellular respiration: Requires oxygen, slower process
Fermentation
- Occurs: Absence of oxygen
- Purpose: Allows glycolysis to continue
- Advantages: Continues energy production without oxygen
- Disadvantages: Lower ATP yield, byproducts
Connecting Cycles
- Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are opposite processes
- Plants and animals both do cellular respiration
- Plants do photosynthesis
- Reactions occur in reverse order
Additional Information
- Products of alcoholic fermentation: Ethyl alcohol, carbon dioxide
- Lactic acid fermentation: Produces lactic acid, common in muscle cells
- Uses of fermentation by microbes: Cheese, yogurt, buttermilk, sour cream, pickles, sauerkraut, kimchi, sourdough
