Cellular Respiration Equation | C6H12O6 + 6O2 =6CO2 + 6H2O |
Cellular Respiration Stage 1 | Glycolysis |
Cellular Respiration Stage 2 | Preparation Reaction |
Cellular Respiration Stage 3 | Citric Acid Cycle |
Cellular Respiration Stage 4 | Oxidation Phosphorylation |
Glycolysis | Glucose is split int 2 pyruvate molecules |
Location of Glycolysis | Occurs in Cytosol |
Phase 1 of Glycolysis | Energy Investment |

Phase 3 of Glycolysis | Energy Liberation |
Energy Liberation and Output | 2 glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate molecules broken into 2 pyruvate producing 2NADH2 +2ATP |
Preparation Reaction and Output | Breakdown of pyruvate and transported to the mitochondrial matrix, one molecule of CO2 removed from each pyruvate; remaining acetyl group is attached to a CoA to make acetyl CoA; 1 NADH2 is made from each pyruvate |
Location of Preparation Reaction | Occurs in Mitochondrial Matrix |
Citric Acid Cycle | a series of chemical reactions used to generate energy through the oxidization of acetate derived from carbohydrates, fats and proteins into CO2 |
Overall Goal of the Citric Acid Cycle | 2CO2 are released and high energy electron carriers are produced; OAA is reformed, producing ATP in the process and making more high energy electron carriers |
Oxidation Phosphorylation Goal | high energy electrons removed from ADH2 and FADH2 to make ATP |
Oxidation Phosphorylation | electrons from NADH and FADH2 are passed from one molecule to the next through redox reactions and the electrons lose energy with each step; glucose and water have been combined to form CO2 and H2O |
ETC | turns NADH and FADH2 into H2O and ATP |
Final Acceptor | O2 becomes H2O |
Chemiosmosis | movement of electrons in the ETC generates H+ electrochemical gradient, as H+ flows back across the membrane, it flows through ATP synthase |
Fermentation | First step is glycolysis, then animal cells convert pyruvate to lactate, and regenerates NAD+ to keep glycolysis going |

How do pigments work? | chloroplasts absorb all color frequencies except green light, which it reflects |
photosystem I | A light-capturing unit in a chloroplast's thylakoid membrane or in the membrane of some prokaryotes; it has two molecules of P700 chlorophyll a at its reaction center. |
photosystem II | One of two light-capturing units in a chloroplast's thylakoid membrane or in the membrane of some prokaryotes; it has two molecules of P680 chlorophyll a at its reaction center. |
Light Reactions | occurs in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast and converts solar energy to ATP and NADPH, releasing oxygen in the process. |
Cyclic | Only photosytem 1 is envolved, Active reaction center = P700, Electrons travel in cyclic manner, Only ATP is produced, Photolysis is absent |
Noncyclic | photosystem 1 & 2 are envolved, Active reaction centre = P680, ATP & reduced NADP are produced, Photolysis present, O2 is evolved as a by-product |
Light Independent/ Calvin Cycle | involves fixation of CO2 and reduction of the fixed carbon into carbohydrate |
Carbon Fixation | Three molecules of carbon dioxide are added to three molecules of a five-carbon sugar abbreviated RuBP. These molecules are then rearranged to form six molecules called 3-PGA, which have three carbons each |
