Biology Photosynthesis Boricua

Glycosis

Occurs in cytoplasm

Split glucose into pyruvate

Uses 2 ATP, makes 4 ATP (gains 2 total)

Kreb's Citris Acid Cycle

Occurs in mitochondria

the pyruvate from the glycosis breaks down

Creates the followins

2ATP

8NADH

2FADH2

Electron Transport Chain

Gain NADH and FADH2 from Kreb's Cycle

Produce 32 more ATP and water

Light reactions

Occur in thylakoid membranes

Prouduce ATP in photosystem I

Produce NADPH in photosystem II

requires constant supply of water and CO2

6CO2 breaks down into 6 carbon sugar called glucose

Leaves must open stomata to admit CO2 but close to prevent excess water loss from evaporation

Light Independent

occur in stroma

chloraphyll molecules in thylakoids capture sun evergy and store in energy cariars

ATP

NADPH
