Study Notes
Photosynthesis Overview
- Major reactions: Light-dependent reactions (Water Split) and light-independent reactions (Calvin Cycle).
- Light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes.
- Light-independent reactions take place in the stroma of chloroplasts.
Cellular Respiration Overview
- Three major steps in aerobic cellular respiration: Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle, and Electron Transport Chain.
- Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of cells.
- Krebs Cycle and Electron Transport Chain are located in the mitochondria.
Chemical Equations
- Photosynthesis formula: 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.
- Cellular respiration formula: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP energy.
Organelles and Functions
- Mitochondria: Main site for ATP production through cellular respiration; found in animal cells; involved in glucose breakdown and water production; carbon dioxide is a byproduct.
- Chloroplast: Contains pigments (such as chlorophyll) to capture light energy; responsible for oxygen gas production and glucose synthesis; found in plant cells.
Specialized Cellular Features
- Muscle cells have a high concentration of mitochondria due to their energy demands.
- Photosynthetic protists contain both mitochondria and chloroplasts, combining functions of cellular respiration and photosynthesis.
Important Processes
- The Calvin Cycle occurs in chloroplasts, synthesizing glucose.
- Krebs Cycle and Electron Transport Chain both occur in mitochondria, facilitating energy extraction from glucose.
