BIO 101 Lecture Notes for Respiration‚ Fermentation‚ and Photosynthesis Respiration During aerobic respiration‚ glucose is completely oxidized (all H’s removed) leaving CO2 as an endproduct. The H’s are taken by coenzymes (NAD and FAD) to the electron transport chain. There the energy is drained from the hydrogen electrons and the energy is used to make ATP. The H’s are ultimately accepted by O2 to make H2O as an endproduct. Respiration occurs in three major stages: 1) Glycolysis

processes are: * Photosynthesis Plants undergo photosynthesis that helps them produce energy and food for themselves. During photosynthesis‚ plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and absorb water (H2O) with the help of their roots. The chlorophyll present in the leaves and the energy from the sun‚ helps convert CO2 and H2O into O2‚ sugar and water vapor. Oxygen (O2) is released by the plants as bi-product into the atmosphere. * Respiration Just as plants carry out photosynthesis‚ animals carry

pioneer species are photosynthetic‚ there are a few limiting factors that affect the rate of photosynthesis: 1. Light Intensity: As light intensity increases‚ the rate of light-dependent reactions that take place during photosynthesis‚ and therefore photosynthesis‚ generally increases proportionately. However‚ as the light intensity is increased‚ another factor will eventually limit the rate of photosynthesis 2. Carbon Dioxide Concentration: An increase in the carbon dioxide concentration increases
Premium Water Photosynthesis Plant physiology
Plant Cells and Solar Cells Photosynthesis is the process of producing and releasing oxygen in the air. It needs sunlight‚ carbon dioxide and water. During the process of photosynthesis‚ the plants decompose the molecules of hydrogen and carbon-dioxide into hydrogen; carbon and oxygen produce glucose which forms the source of their energy‚ growth and food. Few years ago we knew that the only source of energy is photosynthesis which is used by plants to harness solar energy. Nowadays

creating high hydrogen ion concentration. Photosynthesis: • What is the overall goal of photosynthesis? The overall goal of photosynthesis is to chemically change light into energy. • Because photosynthesis only occurs in plants‚ why is it essential to animal life? It is essential to animal life not only for nutrients from the plants but also because of the byproduct oxygen that is put out from the plants from the photosynthesis process. • What is the role

(CO2) and water (H2O); the process of photosynthesis is a complex series of chemical reactions resulting in the production of glucose and oxygen (O2). Glucose is a simple sugar‚ which is further processed into fructose and sucrose‚ and any sugars not required immediately to be metabolized for their energy are converted into starches: complex carbohydrates used to store these essential sources of energy for when they are required. The process of photosynthesis is summarized in a series of reactions

smaller ones with energy being released‚ and anabolic reactions e.g. photosynthesis are where smaller molecules are built up into larger ones which require energy. Catabolism provides the energy for organisms to synthesise larger molecules in its anabolic reactions. To release energy‚ ATP is hydrolysed into ADP and Pi (an inorganic phosphate) which releases energy that can be used for energy requiring reactions such as photosynthesis. However to maintain the organisms anabolic reactions‚ ATP must be
