ATP-ADP CYCLE
ATP is one of the most important compounds inside a cell because it is the
energy transport molecule. ATP (Adenosine TriPhosphate) is considered a
transporter of energy because when one of the phosphate groups is broken
off, turning it into Adenosine DiPhosphate (the Tri means 3 phosphate
groups, the Di means 2 phosphate groups). When a phosphate breaks off,
through chemical reactions in a cell, energy is released which the plant
uses for cellular processes
Oxidative Phosphorylation:
• Photosynthesis helps plants in manufacturing • Respiration is essential for growth and maintenance
food. of all plant tissues, and plays an important role in
the carbon balance of individual cells, whole-plants
• Chlorophyll. and ecosystems, as well as in the global carbon
cycle.
• The site of photosynthesis is the mesophyll of the
leaves containing chloroplasts. • Respiration occurs in the leaves, stems and roots of
the plant.
• Oxygen and glucose.
• Plant respiration occurs 24 hours per day, but night
respiration is more evident since the photosynthesis
process ceases.
Photosynthesis Respiration
• Absorption of light energy in the form of
sunlight by the chlorophyll • Glycosis.
• CO2 binds to RuBP in the key process called carbon fixation, forming two-three carbon
molecules of phosphoglycerate.
Reduction
• It is the second stage of Calvin cycle.
• Calvin cycle becomes a pathway in which plants convert sunlight energy into
long-term storage molecules, such as sugars.
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS OF THE CALVIN CYCLE
Regeneration
• The third stage of the Calvin cycle and is a complex process that
requires ATP.
• Some of the G3P molecules are used to produce glucose, while others
are recycled to regenerate the RuBP acceptor.
RESPIRATION
Respiration is the sequence of events that results in the
exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the
atmosphere and the body cells. There are two types of
Respiration which are the Aerobic Respiration and Anaerobic
Respiration.
• Energy-requiring phase
Glucose is converted to
Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and
Dihydroxyacetone phosphate • NAD+ is converted to NADH
ATP is utilized in this phase
• ADP is converted to ATP
• Energy-release phase
NAD is converted to NADH • FAD+ is converted to FADH
ADP is converted to ATP
Glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate is
converted to pyruvate
