    Study Notes

    Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

    • Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are complementary biological reactions
    • Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and water to create glucose and oxygen as outputs
    • Cellular respiration uses oxygen and glucose as inputs and generates water, carbon dioxide, and energy (ATP) as outputs

    Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

    • Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are complementary processes.
    • Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and water to generate glucose (sugar) and oxygen as a by-product.
    • Cellular respiration uses oxygen and glucose to generate ATP (energy), carbon dioxide, and water.

    Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

    • Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen using carbon dioxide and water.
    • Cellular respiration uses oxygen and glucose to produce carbon dioxide, water, and ATP, an energy-carrying molecule.
    • Both reactions complement each other in the environment.
    • Photosynthesis is how plants obtain energy from the sun, using light as the energy source.
    • Cellular respiration is how animals and humans obtain energy from food, using food as the energy source.

    Photosynthesis

    • Light-dependent Reactions
      • Occur within the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts
      • Capture light energy and convert it into chemical energy
      • Key steps include:
        • Light excites electrons in chlorophyll
        • Water is split (photolysis), releasing oxygen
        • Excited electrons move through an electron transport chain, generating ATP and NADPH
        • Outputs include ATP, NADPH, and oxygen

    Cellular Respiration

    • Glycolysis

      • Occurs within the cytoplasm
      • Breaks down glucose to extract energy
      • Key steps include:
        • Glucose is phosphorylated and cleaved into two pyruvate molecules
        • Energy investment phase utilizes ATP, while the energy payoff generates ATP and NADH
        • Outputs include two pyruvate, two ATP (net), and two NADH per glucose molecule
      • Anaerobic process that can feed into the Krebs Cycle if oxygen is present

    • Krebs Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle)

      • Occurs within the mitochondria
      • Oxidizes acetyl-CoA to produce energy carriers
      • Key steps include:
        • Acetyl-CoA combines with oxaloacetate to form citrate
        • Citrate undergoes a series of oxidative reactions, releasing CO2 and regenerating oxaloacetate
        • Outputs include three NADH, one FADH2, one ATP/GTP per cycle, and two CO2
      • Provides electron carriers (NADH and FADH2) for the electron transport chain

    • Electron Transport Chain (ETC)

      • Occurs within the inner mitochondrial membrane
      • Produces ATP through oxidative phosphorylation
      • Key steps include:
        • Electrons from NADH and FADH2 pass through a series of protein complexes
        • Energy from electron transfer pumps protons (H+) into the intermembrane space, generating a proton gradient
        • ATP synthase utilizes this gradient to produce ATP when protons flow back into the matrix
        • Outputs include approximately 32-34 ATP per glucose molecule and water as electrons reduce oxygen

    Calvin Cycle (Light-independent Reactions)

    • Occurs within the stroma of chloroplasts
    • Fixes carbon dioxide into organic molecules (glucose)
    • Key steps include:
      • CO2 is incorporated into ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP) by the enzyme Rubisco
      • The resulting 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA) is reduced to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) using ATP and NADPH
      • Some G3P exits to form glucose, while others are recycled to regenerate RuBP
      • Outputs include one G3P per three CO2 molecules fixed
      • Requires ATP and NADPH generated during the light-dependent reactions
      • Essential for synthesizing carbohydrates using atmospheric CO2

    Light-dependent Reactions

    • Occur in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts.
    • Convert light energy into chemical energy (ATP and NADPH).
    • Photolysis splits water molecules into oxygen, protons, and electrons using light energy.
    • Electron Transport Chain (ETC) uses light energy to excite electrons, which move through a series of proteins, releasing energy to pump protons into the thylakoid lumen.
    • ATP Production occurs as protons flow back into the stroma through ATP synthase, generating ATP via chemiosmosis.
    • NADPH Formation occurs at the end of the ETC when electrons reduce NADP+ to NADPH.

    Electron Transport Chain (ETC)

    • A key process in both cellular respiration (inner mitochondrial membrane) and photosynthesis (thylakoid membrane).
    • Transfers electrons through a series of proteins, generating a proton gradient across the membrane.
    • This proton gradient drives ATP synthesis via ATP synthase.
    • In cellular respiration, oxygen accepts electrons at the end of the ETC, forming water.
    • Produces a substantial amount of ATP through oxidative phosphorylation (cellular respiration) and photophosphorylation (photosynthesis).

    Krebs Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle)

    • Takes place in the mitochondrial matrix.
    • Oxidizes acetyl-CoA (derived from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins) to generate electron carriers (NADH and FADH2) and ATP.
    • Acetyl-CoA combines with oxaloacetate to form citrate.
    • A series of reactions involving decarboxylation (removal of CO2) and oxidation regenerates oxaloacetate.
    • Outputs include: 3 NADH, 1 FADH2, 1 ATP (or GTP), and 2 CO2 (waste product).
    • Plays a central role in connecting carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism, providing substrates for aerobic respiration.
