Photosynthesis and Cellular respiration
Storyboard Text
- YAY!!
- This is my assistant kurken he is a well we don't know what he is but he is a pretty cool dude and will help me out today.
- Today I will be teaching you about how plants and animals make photosynthesis and cellular respiration!
- Lets's Begin!
- Why I'm doing this so my chlorophyll pigments can capture the energy within my chloroplasts so it can create what we call photosynthesis! The chlorophyll produces high energy electrons.
- AHHHHH!!!!!
- That stupid plant down there is sucking the energy straight outta me!
- Maybe we should ask him why? Plant why are you hurting Mr. Ray?
- Whats wrong Mr.Ray?
- The high energy electrons that are produced are then carried by an NADP+ to a different part of my cells so then reactions can occur.
- That's right and the light dependent reactions occur within the thylakoid membranes.
- AH! I know those light dependent reactions use light to help produce ATP which is the energy we use in our cells
- Well there are two different types of reactions light-dependent and light independent
- What kind of reactions happen persay?
- Right and then light independent uses the ATP produced and NAPH to produce high energy sugars from CO2 within the stroma.
- Isn't there also the Kreb's cycle?
- The first step in this is converting glucose into pyruvic acid this is what we call glycosis.
- Which then produces ATP and NADH
- The next step is cellular respiration.
- Yeah isn't that where pyruvic acid is broken down into CO2
- Right and every turn of the cycle there is new energy produced such as ADP which then changed to ATP
- It also produces citric acid which is then broken down into 4 carbon molecules used to make CO2 to get electrons transported to their carriers.
- Yes there is bt there is more two it than just that the pyruvic acid has to pass through the two membranes and into the mitochondrias matrix.
- Electron transport uses the high energy electrons to synthesize ATP from ADP
- Now the electron transport chain is made up of electron carriers in the inner brain of the mitochondria
- AND THAT IS CELLULAR RESPIRATION!!!!
- I didn't know so much can happen in plants and animals. That is just mind blowing!
- Don't you mean plasma blowing!! XD
