Photosynthesis and Cellular
Respiration
Chapters 6 and 7
Photosynthesis
• Energy from the sun allows plants to grow
• Animals eat plants, acquire energy from the
plants
• All energy originally from the sun
Photosynthesis
• Two categories of organisms:
– Autotrophs - use energy from sunlight to
make organic compounds.
– Heterotrophs - organisms that must get
energy from food instead of directly from
sunlight
Photosynthesis
• Photosynthesis converts light energy from the
sun into chemical energy in the form of
organic compounds.

Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis
• Photosynthesis can be divided into two stages:
1. Light Reactions – light energy is converted
to chemical energy
2. Calvin Cycle – organic compounds are
formed
Photosynthesis
Glucose (sugar)
Pigments
• Pigments – compounds that absorb light
• Chloroplast pigments:
– Chlorophylls – chlorophyll a is directly involved in
light reactions of photosynthesis
– Carotenoids
Pigments
Light Reactions
• Uses light energy
• Converts light energy to chemical energy
through photosystems
• Makes ATP (energy!) and NADPH
• Converts H2O into O2
• Takes place in the thylakoid membrane of the
chloroplast
Light Reactions
• Photosystem I and Photosystem II
• Moves electrons
The Calvin Cycle
• Does not require light energy
• Uses energy produced in the light reactions
• Produces C6H12O6 (sugar) from CO2 (carbon
dioxide)
Group Work
Chloroplasts
• What is the structure of a chloroplast?
• Where are chloroplasts located?
• What are grana? Thylakoids? Thylakoid membranes?
• Where do the reactions of each stage of photosynthesis
occur?
Products and Reactants of Photosynthesis
• What are the two stages of photosynthesis?
• What are the products and reactants of photosynthesis?
• What are the products and reactants of the light reactions?
• What are the products and reactants of the Calvin Cycle?

Cellular Respiration
• Cellular respiration – the complex process in
which cells make ATP by breaking down
organic compounds.
Cellular Respiration
• Both autotrophs and heterotrophs use cellular
respiration.
• The products of cellular respiration are the
reactants in photosynthesis; conversely, the
products of photosynthesis are reactants in
cellular respiration.
Cellular Respiration
• Cellular respiration can be divided into two
stages:
1. Glycolysis
2. Aerobic respiration
Glycolysis
• Takes place in the cytosol of cells.
• One six-carbon glucose molecule is oxidized to
form two three-carbon pyruvic acid
molecules.
• A net yield of two ATP molecules is produced.
Aerobic Respiration
• Second stage of cellular respiration.
• Aerobic respiration takes place in the
mitochondria.
• Can be divided into two steps:
1. Krebs Cycle
2. Electron Transport Chain
Krebs Cycle
• Breaks down Acetyl CoA
(from pyruvic acid) to
produce CO2, hydrogen
atoms, and ATP.
• Occurs in mitochondrial
matrix.
Electron Transport Chain
• Second stage of aerobic
respiration.
• Occurs in inner
mitochondrial membrane.
• Transports electrons to
make LOTS of ATP (38
total for ETC and Krebs)
• Uses oxygen as the final
electron acceptor to
make water.
Electron Transport Chain
A Summary Of Cellular Respiration
Fermentation
• Aerobic respiration can only take place when
oxygen is present.
• When oxygen is not present, fermentation
occurs.
• Two types of fermentation
– Lactic acid
– Alcoholic
Aerobic vs. Anaerobic
Fermentation
