Document Summary

Cellular respiration: process by which living organisms convert chemical energy into atp. There are two forms of respiration: anaerobic-absence of oxygen, aerobic-presence of oxygen. C6h12o6 + 6o2 6co2 + 6h2o + 36atp + heat. There are 3 main steps to aerobic respiration: glycolysis. Glucose broken down into 2 molecules of pyruvate. For the 2 acetyl coa that are part of the krebs cycle: Atp produced from energy released when hydrogen ions flow through atp synthase o. Ethanol end product of alcoholic fermentation: 2 co is produced. Lactic acid end product of lactic acid fermentation. Conversion of light energy to chemical energy by plants and autotrophs: 6co2 + 6h2o + light c6h12o6 + 6o2, the two steps occur in chloroplast. Chlorophyll: pigment that captures light, red and blue wavelengths best absorbed, green wavelengths reflected, light energizes electrons in chlorophyll, these electrons then move through an etc. Atp and nadh formed: electrons replaced by splitting water.
