Study Notes
Cellular Respiration
- Equation: C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂ → 6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O + ATP
- Reactant: Glucose is essential for initiating cellular respiration.
- Products of aerobic respiration include carbon dioxide and water.
- Cellular respiration involves glycolysis, the first step in breaking down glucose.
Photosynthesis
- Equation: 6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂
- Primary purpose: To convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose and release oxygen.
- Organelles: Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast.
Key Processes and Cycles
- The Calvin Cycle incorporates carbon dioxide and utilizes chemical energy to synthesize sugars.
- Light-dependent reactions convert light energy into chemical energy, producing ATP and NADPH.
Locations of Reactions
- The Krebs cycle takes place in the mitochondrial matrix, where further breakdown of substrates occurs after glycolysis.
- Light-dependent reactions occur in the chloroplasts and are vital for harnessing energy from sunlight.
Organism Types
- All organisms perform cellular respiration, regardless of their ability to photosynthesize.
- Plants and other autotrophs are the primary performers of photosynthesis.
Environmental Impact
- CO₂ is absorbed from the atmosphere during photosynthesis, contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gases.
