Cellular Respiration
Review
Living
organisms
require
to perform cellular work.
Energy
flows into most ecosystems as
and
leaves
as
.
Cellular
is a
catabolic
pathway that consumes
and organic molecules and yields the energy molecule
by the transfer of
.
Electron transfer occurs through chemical reactions called
reactions.
Molecules such as NAD
+
and FAD act as electron
receptors
in this pathway.
In cellular respiration,
is oxidized and
is
reduced,
in a series of steps called the
transport
chain
(ETC) to form
.
Cellular
respiration
comprises three metabolic stages:
,
acid cycle, and
phosphorylation.
occurs in the
to produce two molecules of
from the metabolism of one
molecule.
The
is
converted
to
CoA, which enters the
acid cycle in the
matrix
of the mitochondrion.
During
phosphorylation, NADH and FADH
2
donate
to the
ETC
to produce about 32 to 34
molecules
of ATP.
Review: Cellular Respiration
In
conditions, glycolysis is
followed
by
, which does not produce
, but regenerates NAD
+
, and allows glyocolysis to continue generating ATP.
Other organic molecules such as
and
can also enter cellular respiration via different
pathways.

Photosynthesis
Review
Plants and
other
are the
of
ecosystems.
Photoautotrophs can convert
solar
energy into the
energy in food by a process called
.
Photosynthesis
is a
process where water is
and carbon dioxide is
to
.
In plants, photosynthesis occurs in organelles called
chloroplasts,
which contain its own
pigment
molecules.
There are two major
stages:
the
reactions and the
cycle (light-independent reactions).
The light reactions occur in the
, where
pigment
molecules located in a
photosystem
absorb light and their electrons reach an
state.
Each excited
electron
is passed through an
transport chain
(ETC)
and another photosystem, where the energy is used to produce
and reduce NADP
+
to
.
The
Calvin
cycle occurs in the
to synthesize
from carbon dioxide.
plants are adapted to hot, dry climates by incorporating CO
2
into
-carbon as the substrate in the
Calvin
cycle.
The production of
carbon compounds from
CO
2
is called
fixation.
