Question | Answer |
---|---|
Chlorophyll | A group of light trapping green pigments found in most photosynthetic organisms. |
Chloroplasts | Membranous organelles that are the sites of photosynthesis in eukaryotes; occur in some plant and algal cells. |
Carbon Fixation | Reduction reactions of photosynthesis in which carbon from carbon dioxide becomes incorporated into organic molecules, leading to the production of carbohydrate. |
Calvin Cycle | Cyclic series of reactions in the chloroplast stroma in photosynthesis; fixes carbon dioxide & produces carbohydrate. |
Light dependent reactions | Reactions of photosynthesis in which light energy absorbed by chlorophyll is used to synthesize ATP & usually NADPH. (includes cyclic and noncyclic electron transport) |
Ribulose Bisphosphate (RuBP) | A five carbon phosphorylated compound with a high energy potential that reacts with carbon dioxide in the initial step of the calvin cycle. |
Thylakoids | An interconnected system of flattened saclike membranous structures inside the chloroplast. |
Noncyclic Electron source | H2O |
Cyclic Electron source | none - electrons cycle through system |
Is oxygen released in noncylcic electron transport? | Yes, from H2O |
Is oxygen released in cylcic electron transport? | No |
Noncyclic terminal electron acceptor | NADP+ |
Cyclic terminal electron acceptor | none - electrons cycle through system |
Noncyclic form in which energy is temporarely captured? | ATP (by chemiosmosis) and NADPH |
Cyclic form in which energy is temporarely captured? | ATP (by chemiosmosis) |
Noncyclic photosystems required | PSI (P700) and PSII (P680) |
Cyclic photosystems required | PSI (P700) only |
Metabolic reaction in photosynthesis | Anabolism |
Raw materials of photosynthesis | CO2 and H2O |
End products of photosynthesis are | C6,H12,O6,O2 |
Which cells photosynthesize? | Cells that contain chlorophyll (certain cells of plants, algae, and some bacteria) |
In eukaryotic cells, which sites photosynthesize? | Chloroplasts |
ATP production in photosynthesis | By photophosphorylation |
The principal electron transfer compound in photosynthesis | NADP+ which is reduced to form NADPH+ |
Location of the electron transport chain in photosynthesis | Thylakoid membrane |
In photosynthesis, the source of electrons for the electron transport chain is? | In noncyclic electron transport: H2O (undergoes photolysis to yield electrons, protons, and oxygen) |
The terminal electron acceptor for electron transport chain in photosynthesis | In noncyclic electron transport: NADP+ (becomes reduced to form NADPH) |
Metabolic reaction in aerobic respiration | Catabolism |
Raw materials of Aerobic Respiration | C6, H12, O6, O2 |
End products of aerobic respiration | CO2 & H2O |
Which cells participate in aerobic respiration? | Every actively metabolizing cell has aerobic respiration or some other energy releasing pathway. |
Sites involved in aerobic respiration | Cytosol(glycolysis)& mitochondria |
ATP production in Aerobic respiration | By substrate level phosphorylation and by oxidative phosphorylation (a chemiosmosis process) |
The principal electron transfer compound in aerobic respiration | NAD+ is reduced to form NADH+ |
Location of the electron transport chain in aerobic respiration | Mitochondrial inner membrane (cristae) |
In aerobic respiration, the source of electrons for the electron transport chain is? | Immediate source: NADH & FADH2. The ultimate source: glucose or other carbohydrates |
The terminal electron acceptor for electron transport chain in aerobic respiration | O2 (becomes reduced to form H2O) |
