Photosynthesis and Respiration
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what is catabolic pathways | those that break down organic molecules for energy |
| what is anabolic pathways | those that build up organic molecules to store energy for later use |
| what is cellular respiration | a chemical pathway in which organic molecules are broken down to release energy |
| what is Aerobic respiration | uses molecular oxygen (O2) as the final electron acceptor in the reaction pathway |
| what stage is Glycolysis | the first stage |
| what does the form of acetyl CoA envolve | involves the conversion of each pyruvate into acetyl-CoA, releasing one CO2 for each pyruvate reactant |
| what does the citric acid cycle oxidize | the remaining carbon atoms of each acetyl-CoA to CO2 |
| how many ATP's does aerobic respiration make | 36-38 ATP's |
| what is Another alternative to aerobic respiration | fermentation |
| what is carbon fixation reactions also called | the Calvin cycle |
| what does photorespiration sometimes do | reduces the efficiency of photosynthesis |
| what are 2 ATP's for | each initial glucose molecule |
| what is the equation for Aerobic Respiration | C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O → 6CO2 + 12H2O + energy (ATP) |
| what is the equation for Photosynthesis | 6CO2 + 12H2O + energy (light) → C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O |
