    The document discusses the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration, the two key metabolic pathways that allow organisms to harness energy from the sun or food. Photosynthesis occurs in plant cells and uses sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce oxygen and energy-storing glucose molecules. Cellular respiration breaks down glucose molecules in the mitochondria of cells to release energy, using oxygen and producing carbon dioxide and water as waste products. These two processes work together to transfer energy between organisms and cycle carbon through the biosphere.

    Thylakoid membranes
    look like stacks of
    pancakes. Contains the
    green pigment called
    chlorophyll.

    Stroma is the liquid


    that surrounds
    the Thylakoid
    membranes. The
    “syrup” that covers
    the thylakoid
    membranes.
    • The light-dependent reactions capture energy from sunlight.
    – Purpose: energy, in the form of ATP (and other “batteries”), is created in this stage
    – This energy is used to power stage 2
    – take place in thylakoids (grana are stacks of thylakoid membranes)
    – water and sunlight are needed
    – chlorophyll (green pigment in the thylakoid membranes) absorbs energy
    – oxygen is released
    • The light-independent reactions make sugars.
    – Purpose: In this stage is that C and O (from the carbon dioxide) and H (from some of
    the water) is combined to form glucose
    – The energy needed to create glucose comes from stage 1
    – take place in stroma
    – The glucose is stored in the stroma or converted to starch for storage
    – This is a very complex cycle of chemical reactions
    Cellular respiration happens in the cytoplasm
    and the mitochondria

    Step 1 - Glycolysis
    – Purpose: to split glucose into small enough pieces so it can
    enter through the mitochondria membrane
    – anaerobic process (does not require oxygen)
    – takes place in cytoplasm (not in the mitochondria)
    – splits glucose in half
    – produces two ATP molecules
    Step 2 - Krebs cycle
    – Purpose: The Krebs cycle creates a small bit of energy (ATP) that is
    used to start the next stage.
    Think of this as the “match striking” stage
    – takes place in

    – Purpose: to produce a large amount of ATP
