Document Summary
Oxygen is critical for aerobic organisms: as the availability of oxygen increased the complexity of life forms and their dependency on oxygen also increased. Iii: oxygen is critical in all life forms. C. final electron acceptor in etc for cellular respiration. 6co2 + 6h2o + light energy c6h12o6 + 6o2: the electrons in co2 and h2o have low potential energy and are closer to the. In c-h bonds the electrons are shared more equally giving a higher potential energy to the glucose and the oxygen is oxidized with more potential energy: photosynthesis is the opposite of cellular respiration in that aspect. D: the process when we actually turn co2 into glucose= calvin cycle. Brief introduction to photosynthesis: photosystem i and ii light dependent. 3: occurs in the thylakoids linked to calvin cycle by electrons, calvin cycle light independent reactions. 1: produce sugar from co2, we are going to work backwards, starting with calvin cycle.
