Light + 6 CO 2 + 2H 2 0 → C 6 H 12 O 6 + 60 2
3
Step 1: Trap energy from Sunlight
4
Absorb certain wavelengths of light while reflecting others. Chlorophyll a Chlorophyll b Accessory pigments
5
Light-dependent reactions Light-independent reactions
6
Plants use electron carriers to transport high-energy electrons from chlorophyll to other molecules. NADP + (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) is a carrier molecule. NADP + picks up two high-energy electrons, along with a hydrogen ion (H + ). It is then converted into NADPH. The NADPH can then carry the high-energy electrons to be used in chemical reactions elsewhere in the cell.
7
Light dependent reactions: Light dependent water is split NADPH and ATP are produced (Step 2)
11
Light Independent Reactions – Calvin Cycle
12
Calvin Cycle (light-indep rxns) Carbon fixation
13
Step 3: With CO 2, convert temporary chemical energy into organic compounds (glucose).

16
Factors that Affect the Rate Photosynthesis
17
Using glucose and oxygen to make ATP for the cell’s metabolism.
19
Overview of Cell Respiration
20
Anaerobic Occurs in the cytoplasm Glucose is converted to two pyruvic molecules with the help of 2 ATP Net yield of 2 ATP are made 2NADH are also produced
22
Products: 2 Pyruvic Acid 2 NADH 2 ATP
23
Krebs Cycle and Electron Transport Chain
24
Occurs in the mitochondria Oxygen is required for reaction to occur Pyruvic acid is needed from glycolysis Enzyme-directed reactions which produce CO 2, ATP, FADH 2 and NADH NAD NADH
25
How many times does the Kreb cycle go around for one glucose molecule? How much ATP is produced in this cycle? How much ATP has been produced so far with Krebs and Glycolysis?
27
Electron Transport Chain Aerobic All NADH and FADH 2 produced gives up their electrons to a series of electron accepting proteins. Main production of ATP occurs here.
29
Synthesis of ATP in ETC
31
Example of Anaerobic Respiration
