Biology Photosynthesis Boricua
Photosynthesis
Light Independent
occur in stroma
chloraphyll molecules in thylakoids capture sun evergy and store in energy cariars
NADPH
ATP
Light reactions
Occur in thylakoid membranes
requires constant supply of water and CO2
Leaves must open stomata to admit CO2 but close to prevent excess water loss from evaporation
6CO2 breaks down into 6 carbon sugar called glucose
Produce NADPH in photosystem II
Prouduce ATP in photosystem I
Cellular Respiration
Electron Transport Chain
Gain NADH and FADH2 from Kreb's Cycle
Produce 32 more ATP and water
Kreb's Citris Acid Cycle
Occurs in mitochondria
the pyruvate from the glycosis breaks down
Creates the followins
2ATP
8NADH
2FADH2
Glycosis
Occurs in cytoplasm
Uses 2 ATP, makes 4 ATP (gains 2 total)
Split glucose into pyruvate
