In Aerobic Cellular Respiration there is 3 stages. In the 3 stages there is Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle, and Electron Transport Chain. Aerobic Cellular Respiration equation is C6 H12 O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O. All three stages where it all occurs is the Mitochondria. Aerobic Cellular Respiration is only used for Eukaryotic. In Glycolysis, glucose bond’s gets broken down when it enters the cytoplasm. In this process we used 2 ATP in order to split the glucose in half.This will then make the 3 carbon compound. When this happens it releases electrons from the broken bonds. The other electrons that were released get attached to NAD+ making NADH. From the 3 carbon compound molecule the 2 phosphate that is attached to get broken off. The 2 phosphate that 2 ADP to make 2 ATP. This leaves you with a net of 2 ATP. At the end of this process you would be left with 2 pyruvates which will then lead you to the Krebs Cycle. The second stage for Aerobic Cellular Respiration is the Krebs Cycle. The Krebs Cycle is located in the Matrix. It starts off with 2 pyruvate from glycolysis. The pyruvate lose 1 carbon and becomes a 2 carbon compound. The NAD+gets electrons from broken bonds and becomes …show more content…

Photosynthesis is located in the Chloroplast. In Electron Transport Chain 1 (ETC) is located in the thylakoid membrane. The equation of photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H2O → 6O2 + C6 H12 O6 First, The light energy hits the Chlorophyll to excite the electrons. The enzymes splits the water and this releases electrons. The released electrons goes into the Chlorophyll to keep the process to continue. The second step of ETC 1 is for the electrons to give energy to the protein pump that allows the hydrogen to move from low to high concentration. The last step of ETC 1 is the production of ATP. Hydrogen ions goes through ATP synthase from high to low concentration. This will allow ADP and Pi to

It is an intermediate of the Kreb's cycle and is found prior to the formation of pyruvate by pyruvate carboxylase and immediately after the NAD+-consuming conversion from L-malate by malate dehydrogenase. Oxaloacetate is first condensed with Acetyl CoA to form citrate in the first reaction of the Krebs Cycle. The Krebs Cycle is a series of reactions that form electron carriers to be used in the electron transport chain to produce ATP, the main energy source for all cellular functions. The citric acid produced during this cycle is a tricarboxylic acid, containing three carboxyl groups. After the citrate has been formed, it goes through another series of reactions, producing isocitrate a-ketoglutarate, succinyl coenzyme A, succinate, fumarate, malate, and oxaloacetate.

During light-dependent reactions, the chlorophyll molecules absorb the sunlight including the carbon atoms .They give off electrons with very high energy and the electrons begin to pass through electron transport chains. After they have passed, proteins from the chains are used to put ions into the thylakoid. From there the hydrogen ions start to build up in the thylakoid. As this begins to happen the hydrogen ions go back to the stroma through ATP synthase.

The Krebs cycle breaks the pyruvate from the glycolysis which becomes ATP. Another difference is how many ATP they each produce. Glycolysis produces 2 ATP and the Krebs cycle makes about 36 to 38 ATP. Energy metabolism is regulated by long chain fatty acids and ADP. Calcium, ADP, and NAD+ are activators.

The 2 reduced NAD made goes to the electron transport chain and the 2 molecules of pyruvate goes into the link reaction which is the next stage. The link reaction connects glycolysis to the Kreb’s cycle. The pyruvate undergoes decarboxylation and dehydrogenation to produce C02 and H+ which is used to reduce NAD. This forms acetate which taken by coenzyme A (coA) recycled from Kreb’s cycle to form acetyl coA. No ATP is produced or used in this stage so the net total of ATP is still 2.

Introduction Cellular respiration is the process by which cells obtain energy from the breakdown of glucose and oxygen into ATP, the cell’s main form of energy, and carbon dioxide and water. The overall equation for respiration is: C6H12O6 + O2 → CO2 + H2O + Energy Respiration that results in the complete oxidation of glucose into carbon dioxide and water occurs in three steps. Respiration begins with glycolysis, which is an anaerobic process that occurs in the cytosol of the cell that ends with the formation of pyruvate from glucose in the absence of oxygen (Everet et al 2013). In the presence of oxygen, glycolysis is followed by the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain, both of which take place in the mitochondria (Everet

Cellular respiration is the process of oxidizing food molecules into CO2 and H2O. The energy that is released by the reaction is released in the form of ATP, which is used by the cell for later energy consuming reactions. Cellular respiration occurs in two phases which glycolysis and the oxidation of pyruvic acid. Glycolysis is when glucose breaks down to pyruvic acid and the pyruvic

Two of the most important cellular energy cycles are aerobic cellular respiration and oxygenic photosynthesis. These two are critical in the continued sustainability of all life on earth as we know it. The two process several intricate stages in which the creation of cellular energy occurs, and have varied relationships with organelles located within the eukaryotic cell. Both processes are primordial and key in how life has evolved and become as diverse as we know it. Although aerobic cellular respiration and oxygenic photosynthesis are different processes, they are interdependent from one another, while exhibiting complementary energy cycles.

Photosynthesis has two stages that both occur at different sites in the chloroplast. The first stage is known as the light reaction; it takes place in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplast. Sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide are inputted resulting in oxygen, ATP, and NADPH. The second stage is called light-dependent or dark reaction, which takes place in the stroma. NADPH and ATP from the light reaction along with carbon dioxide are inputted.

Photosynthesis and Cell Respiration form a complete cycle fairly simplistic. If you look at the equations for each system, you'll see that they oppositely reflect each other. The equation for Photosynthesis is: CO₂ + H₂O ⇾ Sugar + Oxygen. During Photosynthesis energy from the sun is required. Whereas, the equation for Cellular Respiration is: Oxygen + Sugar ⇾ CO₂ + H₂O (Which releases energy from the sugar).

This study examines the effects that varying light intensities have on photosynthesis in the aquatic plant, Elodea Densa. Photosynthesis takes place in plants, algae, and cyanobacteria that capture the light energy in sunlight which will later be used to convert CO2 and water into oxygen and glucose. The carbohydrate glucose helps build leaves, flowers, seeds, and can be converted to cellulose that is used for structural support in the cell wall of plants. Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplast when CO2 from the air diffuses to chlorophyll cells through the stomata. Pigments are capable of absorbing light energy for photosynthesis however light that scattered or reflected are not able to be collected by the pigment (Marrè et al., 1989).

The need to produce ATP to provide energy for cellular function is, of course, essential in both quiescent and activated cells. Glucose can be used to fuel this process through two integrated pathways. The first of these, glycolysis, involves the conversion of glucose to pyruvate in the cytoplasm. In this pathway, phosphates are transferred from glycolytic intermediates to ADP for the generation of ATP. The second pathway, the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, generates the reducing equivalents nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FADH2), which donate electrons to the electron transport chain to fuel oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), the process by which ATP is generated in the mitochondria.
