Document Summary
Exam 1 is monday, february 16, 8:50-9:40 am. Review session is sunday, february 15, 2-3pm in b130 van vleck. Q: in the mitochondrial electron transport chain, electrons are transported from , to . Q: from the human perspective, fermentation is useful for making food and drink. A: fermentation regenerates nad+, which is needed for glycolysis. General equation of photosynthesis: light energy + 3co2 + 6h2o c3h6o3 + 3o2 + 3h2o. The conversion of light energy to chemical energy; the production of carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of chlorophyll by using light energy. Happens in the chloroplast in the thylakoid membrane and is an ongoing process: water is split, to produce oxygen, atp is formed and nadp is reduced to nadph. The atp and nadph are used in the krebs cycle: stoma (pl. stomata) are openings in the leaf surface where gas exchange occurs.
