Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
First and Last Name__________________________
Section________
This is a 12 point assignment. The objective of this assignment is to spend hours thinking and understanding the physiological pathways of Photosynthesis and of Glycolysis and Cellular respiration. The more time you spend looking at these physiological cycles extrapolating and interpreting the more comprehension youll achieve. This assignment can act as a study tool and should add towards your overall study time for Unit 2.
Point Distribution:
Chapter 8 Cycle Drawings = 3 points
Chapter 8 Cycle 1 page Explanation Paper = 3 points
Chapter 7 Cycle Drawings = 3 points
Chapter 7 Cycle 1 page Explanation Paper = 3 points
Total Points for Chapter 8 & 7 Assignment = 12 points
For chapter 8: Draw out on a blank 8X11 sheet of paper the two diagrams below.
The first diagram is summary of the pathways of electrons through the PHOTOSYSTEMS and through the ELECTRON TRANSPORT CHAINS.
The second diagram is the summary of the CALVIN (or C3) CYCLE. You must know the ins and outs of these two important pathways which all begin with light and water. DONT JUST COPY the diagrams for the sake of completing the assignment this completely defeats the objective of the assignment. Rather think of why each step in the process is necessary and how each step assists in the pathway. Be sure to label all parts of the systems and cycles. Then on a second sheet of paper write in your own words the physiological pathway or story explaining all steps of all reactions from the beginning of the reaction center to the end of the C3 Cycle. You must include in your paper the following terms in order to receive full credit: NADPH NADP+ H+ ADP ATP H2O O2 CO2 e- NADP ETC II ETC I Photosystem II Photosystem I Reaction center Light Photons Primary electron acceptor Chlorophyll Stroma Pigment molecules Thylakoid ATP Synthase Glucose Light-independent Light-dependent Chemiosmosis Calvin Cycle Kinetic energy Concentration gradient Hydrogen pump rubisco G3P (glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate) RuBP PGA (Phosphoglyceric acid)
KEEP GOING
For chapter 7: Do the exact same thing as you did for Photosynthesis.
The diagrams below depict:
Glycolysis
Pyruvate Oxidation (Acetyl coA formation)
Krebs Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle)
Oxidative Phosphorylation (Electron Transport Chain & Chemiosmosis)
Fermentation (Lactate forming)
Draw out on a blank 8X11 sheet of paper the diagram below. Be sure to label all parts of the systems and cycles. Then on a separate page write a story explaining all steps of all reactions from the beginning of Glycolysis to the end of the ETC. I will be looking for ATP ADP FAD FADH2 Acetyl-CoA Pyruvate G3P Glycolysis Cellular respiration glucose concentration gradient ATP synthase kinetic energy rotor catalytic knob stator internal rod depleted electrons Krebs cycle Ribulose 16-Biphosphate NADH NAD+ Chemiosmosis Oxidative phosphorylation CO2 H2O O2 electrons (e-) lactate or ethanol aerobic anaerobic
