photosynthesis and cellular respiration
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Function of ATP | ATP is the carrier of energy in living organisms. Molecules of ATP store usable energy for the cell's processes. It is released when broken down into ADP + Pi |
| Difference between catabolic and anabolic reactions. | Anabolic reactions are the building of larger molecules from smaller molecules and it requires energy. Catabolic reaction are the break down of macromolecules into smaller molecules which releases energy. |
| Examples of anabolic and catabolic reactions | An example of an anabolic reaction is photosynthesis and an example of a catabolic reaction is cellular respiration. |
| Worded and chemical equation for photosynthesis | water + carbon dioxide light energy --> chlorophyll glucose + water + oxygen 12H20 + 6CO2 light energy --> chlorophyll C6H12O6 + 6H20 + 6CO2 |
| Stages of photosynthesis, inputs and outputs, where they occur | Light dependent stage occurs in the grana. Inputs are H2O, Light, ADP +Pi, NADP. Outputs are O2, ATP, NADPH. Light independent stage occurs in the stroma. Inputs are CO2, ATP, NADPH. Outputs are glucose, ADP + Pi, NADP, H2O |
| Difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration | Aerobic respiration requires oxygen and it yields 36 ATP. Anaerobic respiration doesn't require oxygen and it yields 2 ATP. |
| Anaerobic respiration in humans and yeast, | Anaerobic respiration in humans produces lactic acid. Anaerobic respiration in yeast produces CO2 and ethanol. |
| Worded and chemical equations for aerobic cellular respiration. | glucose + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water + 36ATP C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + 36ATP |
| Glycolysis | Occurs in the cytosol of cells. Inputs are glucose, 2ADP + 2Pi, 2NAD+. Outputs are 2 pyruvate, 2ATP, 2NADH. Oxygen is not required and the total ATP yield is 2. |
| The Krebs Cycle | Occurs in the Matrix of mitochondria. Inputs are 8NAD+, 2FAD+, 2ADP+Pi. Outputs are 2ATP, 8NADH, 2FADH2, 6CO2. Oxygen is required but not used. The total ATP yield is 2. |
| The electron transport chain | Occurs in the cristae of mitochondria. Inputs are 8NADH and FADH, 32 ADP + 32P. Outputs are 32ATP, 8NAD+, 2FAD+ and 6H2O. Oxygen is required and the total ATP yield is 32. |
| Independent variables in the pracs | Photosynthesis - whether light is present Cellular respiration - yeast in anaerobic conditions |
| Dependent variables | Photosynthesis - the colour of bromothymol blue Cellular respiration - presence of ethanol and CO2 |
| Controlled variables | Photosynthesis - the amount of distilled water, same size test tubes, number of drops of bromothymol blue. Cellular respiration - same concentration of glucose solution, same amount of glucose solution, same size conical flask. |
