Photosynthesis
Cell Respiration
-takes place in chloroplasts
-chlorophyll in chloroplasts
helps convert light energy
from the sun
-6Co+6H20-->C6H12O6+6CO2
-2 phases, light&dark
-light phase: sunlight hits
the thylakoid membrane of
the chloroplast and the
water molecule H20 is split and oxygen is released into the atmosphere
-dark phase: calvin cycle,happens in the stoma of the chloroplast, CO2->C6H12O6
-is limited to only t times with sunlight
-takes place in the mitochondria
-occurs all the time
-C6H12O6+6O2->6H2O+6CO2+ATP
-breaks down sugars and converts them into chemical energy
-2 types : anaerobic and aerobic
-aerobic uses oxxygen and produces around 36 ATP's
-anaerobic: 2 types:lactic acid/alcoholic fermentation
-produces around 2 ATP's
-enzymes are needed to break down the glucose
-involve the exchange of glucose, oxygen, water, and carbon
-transform energy
-movement of electrons
