Chlorophyll

C6H12O6 6O2 36ADP 36P

6CO2 6H2O 36ATP Heat

Reactants 6 moles of carbon dioxide , 6 moles of water 1 mole of glucose 6 moles oxygen

Products 1 mole of glucose , 6 moles oxygen 6 moles carbon dioxide , 6 moles water , 36 moles adenosine triphosphate , heat

Is this reaction endergonic or exergonic

Endergonic

Exergonic

Energy source used Sunlight , carbon dioxide Glucose , other organic compounds

Cell organelles involved

in the reaction Chloroplasts Starts in the cytoplasm then in mitochondria

Role of ATP in the reaction Used to fuel the Calvin Cycle reactions of carbon fixation wherein CO2 , an inorganic compound , is dissociated and then rearranged with hydrogen to form glucose , an organic compound Stored energy in ATP are released through the hydrolysis of its phosphate bonds and the energy is used to produce more ATP required to fuel biosynthetic reactions in cellular activities br

1 ) What are the names for the types of organisms that can use photosynthesis to produce glucose ? Provide specific examples

Photoautotrophs (e .g . plants , algae and cyanobacteria ) and photoheterotrophs (e .g . purple nonsulfur bacteria ) are the classes of organisms that convert energy derived from sunlight into chemical energy for glucose synthesis (Nester , Anderson , Roberts , Pearsall and Nester 2001 . Photoautotrophs make use of sunlight and obtain their carbon from CO2 while photohetrotrophs use sunlight but derive their carbon from organic substances
