Study Notes
Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
- Reactants of photosynthesis include water, light, and carbon dioxide.
- Products of photosynthesis are oxygen and glucose.
- Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts, the organelle responsible for converting light energy into chemical energy.
Cellular Respiration
- Cellular respiration utilizes oxygen and glucose as reactants.
- ATP, water, and carbon dioxide are the products of cellular respiration.
- Cellular respiration takes place in mitochondria, the powerhouse of the cell.
Biological Processes
- Photosynthesis is the process by which plants produce food using sunlight.
- Cellular respiration converts sugar into ATP, providing energy for cellular functions.
- Digestion breaks down food into smaller molecules for absorption and utilization.
Molecular Movement and Transport
- Synthesis refers to the creation of large molecules by joining smaller ones.
- Active transport involves moving molecules across a cell membrane against their concentration gradient.
- Diffusion describes the passive movement of molecules through a cell membrane from areas of high concentration to low concentration.
- Osmosis is the specific process through which water molecules pass through a semipermeable membrane.
Carbon Usage in Plants
- Carbon produced by green plants is not excreted as waste during the day, as it can be used in photosynthesis.
