Study Notes
Photosynthesis
- Water donates an electron during the process.
- Carbon dioxide is essential for producing PGAL (3-phosphoglyceraldehyde).
- Utilizes the Calvin cycle for carbon fixation.
- Glucose is a primary product of photosynthesis.
- Oxygen is released as a byproduct.
- RuBP (Ribulose bisphosphate) is involved in the carbon fixation process.
- NADPH acts as a reducing agent in the biosynthetic reactions.
- Thylakoids are membrane-bound structures where the light-dependent reactions occur.
- Requires pigments such as chlorophyll to capture light energy.
- Chloroplasts are the organelles where photosynthesis takes place.
- Photosystem I (PSI) and Photosystem II (PSII) play key roles in the light-dependent reactions.
Both Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
- Both processes require a hydrogen carrier to facilitate energy transfer.
- ATP is generated during both processes through oxidative phosphorylation and photophosphorylation.
- Occur in plant cells, highlighting the role of plants in energy conversion.
- Require enzymes to catalyze various biochemical reactions.
- Utilize ATP synthase for synthesizing ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate.
- Metabolic pathways that contribute to cellular energy balance.
- Make use of an Electron Transport System to transfer electrons and create a proton gradient.
Cellular Respiration
- NADH serves as a crucial electron carrier in cellular respiration.
- The matrix of the mitochondria is where many reactions of the Krebs cycle take place.
- Cristae are the inner mitochondrial membranes that increase surface area for metabolic reactions.
- Mitochondria are the organelles where cellular respiration occurs.
- FADH2 also acts as an electron carrier and contributes to the energy yield.
- Primarily occurs in heterotrophic cells that derive energy from organic sources.
- Utilizes the Krebs cycle for breaking down glucose and producing ATP.
- Mainly takes place in animal cells alongside other eukaryotic organisms.
- Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain.
Neither Photosynthesis nor Cellular Respiration
- Synthesis of proteins is not part of either photosynthesis or cellular respiration processes.
- NAG (N-acetylglucosamine) is not a hydrogen carrier used in these pathways.
- No events part of photosynthesis or cellular respiration occur within the nucleus.
