Cellular Respiration | Photosynthesis |
Equation: 6 CO2 + 6 H2O = C6H12O6 + 6 O2 | |
Glycolysis breaks glucose down to form two pyruvates, forming a net of 2 ATP and 2 NADH. | |
The goal of Kerbs cycle is to take pyruvate and put it into Kerbs cycle, producing NADH and FADH2. There are two steps, the first is the conversion of pyruvate to Acetyl CoA, and the second step is to converse all of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in pyruvate end up as CO2 and H2O. It produces 2 ATP, 8 NADH, and 2 FADH2 per glucose molecule. | |
ETC's goal is to break down NADH and FADH2, pumping H+ into the outer compartment of the mitochondria, creating a gradient which is used to produce ATP. This produces 32 ATPs. | |
In order to conserve water, there are three types of plants, C3, C4, and CAM. (see other blog for specific difference) | |
Number of ATP produced: glycolysis 2 ATP Kerbs Cycle 2 ATP ETC 32 ATP NADH 2 ATP FADH2 2 ATP Net 36 ATP |
