Study Notes
Calvin Cycle
- Calvin cycle reactions occur in the stroma of chloroplasts in plant cells.
- The products used by the Calvin cycle to produce sugars are CO2, ATP, and NADPH.
- The regeneration of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) occurs in the regeneration phase of the Calvin cycle.
- The term 'dark reaction' is inaccurate for the Calvin cycle because it can occur in low light conditions, not just in the dark.
- In the absence of light, starch reserves are broken down and glucose is released into the phloem.
Cellular Respiration
- The primary purpose of cellular respiration is to generate energy for the cell in the form of ATP.
- Molecules commonly used by animal and plant cells in cellular respiration are glucose, oxygen, and ATP.
- Molecular oxygen (O2) is the final electron acceptor in cellular respiration, allowing the electron transport chain to generate ATP.
- Cellular respiration involves oxidation-reduction reactions.
- Cellular respiration is distinguished from typical combustion reactions because it involves a series of controlled, gradual reactions, rather than a rapid, uncontrolled release of energy.
