    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.
