cellular respiration

• Autotrophs

  Organisms that can produce their own food
• Cellular Respiration

  The energy converter in both heterotrophs and autotrophs
• Matrix

  The inner compartment of a mitochondrion
• End products of each step of Cellular Respiration

  • Glycolysis
  • Krebs Cycle
  • Electron Transport Chain
• Light-dependent reactions

  1. O2

  2. NADPH

  3. ATP
• Light-dependent reactions

  The first stage of photosynthesis, where light energy is absorbed and used to produce ATP and NADPH
• G3P

  A 3-carbon molecule that is the end product of the Calvin Cycle
• Krebs Cycle

  A series of chemical reactions that generates energy through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA derived from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into ATP and carbon dioxide
• Pyruvate

  A 3-carbon molecule that is the end product of glycolysis
• Krebs Cycle

  1. Pyruvate oxidizes into Acetyl CoA before entering

  2. CO2

  3. 3 NADH

  4. 1 ATP
• NADH

  A coenzyme that carries electrons from one protein to another
• Mitochondrion

  A membrane-bound organelle that generates most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell
• Heterotrophs

  Organisms that cannot produce their own food
• Glycolysis

  1. Glucose is split into two 3-carbon molecules called pyruvate

  2. 2 NADH

  3. 2 ATP
• Membrane

  The outer layer of a mitochondrion
• Acetyl CoA

  A 2-carbon molecule that is the starting point of the Krebs Cycle
• Electron Transport Chain

  1. All NADH carries their electrons to ETC

  2. H20

  3. 3-4 NAD+

  4. 30-32 ATP
• Calvin Cycle

  1. 6 G3P

  2. NADP+

  3. ADP
• ATP

  A high-energy molecule that stores energy for the cell
• Calvin Cycle

  A series of chemical reactions that generates energy through the conversion of carbon dioxide into glucose and other sugars
• Calvin Cycle

  The second stage of photosynthesis, where ATP and NADPH are used to convert carbon dioxide into glucose and other sugars
• End products of each step of Photosynthesis

  • Light-dependent reactions
  • Calvin Cycle
• The electron transport chain is the final step in aerobic respiration, where electrons are passed from one carrier to another.
