Study Notes
Photosynthesis
- Plants, algae, and some bacteria use chlorophyll in chloroplasts to capture sunlight energy
- This energy converts carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) into glucose (C6H12O6), storing energy as chemical energy
- Oxygen (O2) is released as a byproduct
- Reactants: CO2, H2O, and sunlight
- Products: Glucose (C6H12O6) and O2
- Location: Chloroplasts (thylakoids and stroma)
Cellular Respiration
- Cells use cellular respiration to break down glucose in mitochondria
- This process combines glucose with oxygen, releasing energy stored in ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecules
- ATP provides energy for all cell activities
- Reactants: Glucose (C6H12O6) and O2
- Products: CO2, H2O, and ATP
- Location: Cytoplasm (glycolysis) and mitochondria (Krebs Cycle and ETC)
Chlorophyll's Function
- Chlorophyll is a green pigment in chloroplasts of plant cells
- It absorbs sunlight, mainly red and blue light, converting it into energy for photosynthesis
- Without chlorophyll, photosynthesis would not occur
