Study Notes
Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Key Concepts
- Autotrophs are organisms that produce their own food.
- Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts, the organelles responsible for capturing sunlight.
- Glycolysis, the first step of cellular respiration, takes place in the cytoplasm.
- Glucose (C6H12O6) serves as a primary energy source for organisms.
- Anaerobic processes do not require oxygen, while aerobic processes do.
- Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is the main energy currency in cells.
- Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP) is an energy-storing molecule that transforms to ATP when energy is added.
Reaction Overview
- Cellular respiration relies on oxygen and glucose as reactants.
- Photosynthesis requires sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide as reactants.
- The products of cellular respiration are water, carbon dioxide, and energy (in the form of ATP).
- Photosynthesis produces glucose (sugar) and oxygen.
Interrelationship of Processes
- Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are interdependent; outputs of one process serve as inputs for the other.
Organisms Involved
- Photosynthesis is carried out by autotrophs, which include plants, algae, and some bacteria.
- Cellular respiration is performed by all organisms, including plants, animals, fungi, protists, and certain bacteria.
Key Processes
- Photosynthesis is the process by which plants and certain bacteria utilize sunlight energy to convert into sugar.
- Water is a crucial compound necessary for photosynthesis.
Energy Storage and Waste Products
- ATP is utilized by organisms to store and transport energy.
- Carbon dioxide is a waste product generated from cellular respiration.
- Pyruvate, a 3-carbon molecule, is produced during glycolysis.
Types of Respiration
- Aerobic respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen.
- Fermentation, a type of anaerobic respiration, occurs when oxygen is scarce; alcoholic fermentation is typical in yeast.
Additional Notable Concepts
- Chlorophyll A absorbs sunlight except for green light, which is reflected, giving plants their color.
- Sugar is a product of photosynthesis, and oxygen is its byproduct.
- The mitochondria are the sites of aerobic respiration within cells.
- Lactic acid accumulates in muscles during anaerobic respiration.
Summary of Key Ingredients
- Sunlight is essential for photosynthesis.
- The "T" in ATP stands for tri, indicating its composition of three phosphate groups.
