Photosynthesis Aerobic Cellular Respiration

Full balanced equation 6 CO2 6 H2O C6 H12 O6 C6 H12 O6 6 CO2 6 H2O Energy

Reactants CO2 , H2O , ADP , light energy Sugars , oxygen

Products Sugars , Oxygen , energy Carbon dioxide , water , energy

Is this reaction endergonic or exergonic

State which one it is . Endergonic Exergonic

Energy source used Light Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP

Cell organelles involved in the reaction Stroma of Chloroplasts Mitochondria

Role of ATP in the reaction ATP and reduced Nicotine amine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH from light ) reduce CO2

to glucose ATP the energy source to drive many biochemical reactions

Part 2

After completing the table you will have a basic understanding of these two complementary metabolic processes . Using what you have learned , and additional reference information , answer the following questions

What is the name given to the types of organisms that can use photosynthesis to produce glucose ? In addition , provide THREE specific examples

Photoautotrophs , green plants such as maize (Zea mays , wheat (Triticum aestivum , peas (Pisum sativum , and algae ( Chlamydomonas reinhardii and Anabena cylindropsis

Would cyanide affect bacteria that use anaerobic respiration ? To answer this you will need to consider the role of oxygen in aerobic cellular respiration . Explain your answer

Cyanide would kill the bacteria which use aerobic respiration because cyanide blocks the transfer of electrons from the last cytochrome in the electron transport chain thus interrupting the ATP formation

If oxygen is lacking , how might cells meet their energy needs through fermentation ? Explain and give some examples of...
