Study Notes
Photosynthesis Reactions
- Photosynthesis consists of two major processes: light-dependent reactions and light-independent reactions (Calvin Cycle).
- Light-dependent reactions take place in the thylakoid membrane.
- Light-independent reactions occur in the stroma of chloroplasts.
Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Formulas
- Photosynthesis formula: 6CO2 + 6H2O --light--> C6H12O6 + 6O2.
- Cellular respiration formula: C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP.
Key Organelles
- Mitochondria are responsible for producing ATP energy and are the site of aerobic cellular respiration.
- Chloroplasts capture light energy using pigments and are essential for photosynthesis.
- Oxygen gas production occurs in chloroplasts, while carbon dioxide gas production happens in mitochondria.
Organism and Cell Types
- Chloroplasts and mitochondria are found in plant cells.
- Mitochondria are present in animal cells, including muscle cells, to meet high energy demands.
- Photosynthetic protists have both chloroplasts and mitochondria.
Metabolic Processes
- Mitochondria are involved in several metabolic processes:
- Krebs cycle and Electron Transport Chain occur within mitochondria.
- Water production also takes place in mitochondria.
Chlorophyll and Glucose Production
- Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, which is crucial for light absorption during photosynthesis.
- Glucose production occurs within chloroplasts as part of the light-independent reactions.
Energy Transformation
- Mitochondria are vital for ATP production, completing cellular respiration by utilizing glucose and oxygen.
- The interplay of chloroplasts and mitochondria showcases the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration in energy flow.
