    Study Notes

    Photosynthesis - Part 1

    • Autotrophs produce their own food ("auto" = self, "trophe" = feeding)
    • Heterotrophs consume other organisms (living or dead) ("hetero" = other)
    • Chlorophyll is a light-absorbing pigment in chloroplasts (mainly in the mesophyll layer of plant leaves)
    • Chlorophyll reflects green light, thus making plants appear green
    • Chloroplasts contain thylakoids (little green discs)
    • Thylakoids are the site of the light-dependent reaction, with the primary purpose of making ATP and NADPH
    • Grana are stacks of thylakoids
    • Stroma is the space surrounding the thylakoids and is the site of the light-independent reaction
    • Photosynthesis converts light energy into chemical energy (ATP and NADPH), then uses this to make sugars
    • The chemical reaction is: 6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ (Key number is 6 in balancing)
    • Light reaction (light-dependent): Sunlight converts into ATP and NADPH
    • Calvin cycle (light-independent reaction): Makes sugar using CO2, ATP, and NADPH

    Photosynthesis - Part 2

    • Sunlight travels in waves with different wavelengths (colors)
    • Red light has the longest wavelength
    • Blue light has the shortest wavelength
    • Spectrophotometer measures the wavelengths not absorbed by a specimen
    • Chlorophyll A is the main pigment in all plants and algae, looking like Mg in a carbon ring web
    • Chlorophyll B helps chlorophyll A receive light energy
    • Carotenoids are accessory pigments helping chlorophyll (and reflect red, orange, or yellow color)
    • Photosystems are groups of light-absorbing pigments in thylakoid membranes

    Photosynthesis - Part 3

    • Calvin cycle uses ATP and NADPH from the light reaction to make sugar using CO₂
    • 3 CO₂ molecules are combined with RuBP
    • The enzyme Rubisco converts RuBP into G3P (intermediate sugar molecules)
    • G3P converts into the second half of the sugar molecule, and is released to make sugar for the plant or algae
    • Sugars are used as food or stored for later use by the organism or passed to consumers in the food chain

    Cellular Respiration - Part 1

    • Cellular Respiration is the process for releasing energy in organic molecules, mainly glucose, to do work
    • If oxygen is available, it uses aerobic respiration to make ATP (36 or 38 ATPs)
    • If oxygen is absent, it uses fermentation using organic molecules, to free up the electron carriers for glycolysis

    Cellular Respiration - Part 2

    • If O2 is present, Pyruvate must convert to Acetyl Coenzyme A before entering inner mitochondrial space
    • Krebs Cycle makes Electron Carriers from Hydrogens and attaching them to the carriers
    • Electron Transport Chain happens in the inner mitochondrial membrane, with electrons moving down the chain
    • Electrons move to create H⁺ gradient to release kinetic energy and make ATP

    Cellular Respiration - Part 3

    • Fermentation is a cellular process if oxygen is absent and it produces ATP using organic molecules (like alcohol and lactic acid fermentation)
    • Facultative Anaerobes can perform both aerobic and anaerobic respiration but prefer oxygen
