Photosynthesis
00:08
3 steps of
Photosynthesis
00:13
Step 1: Capturing Solar energy and
transferring that energy to electrons
00:13
Step 2: Using the Solar energy that was captured to produce ATP and
transfer high energy electrons to NADP+: yields to NADPH, which is then
used as a high energy electron carrier molecule
00:13
Step 3: Using energy stored in ATP and high energy electrons carried
by NADPH in order to form energy rich organic molecules.
(Glucose from Carbon Dioxide).
00:16
Final step involves carbon fixation, also known as The
Calvin cycle, involves a large number of light-independent reactions.
00:16
Step 1 relies on Light Dependent reactions on 2 distinct but
Interconnected Photosystem I&II. They play a major role in
capturing Solar energy.
00:16
Step 2 capture Solar energy through pigments within photosynthesis
now used to form energy-rich molecules, and to make
ATP from ADP and Pi, this involves ETC,
Oxidation-Reduction Reactions, and Chemiosmosis.

Cellular
Respiration
00:27
The Process of Cellular Respiration is split into two
different types,each includes its own unique stages
00:27
Aerobic Respiration
(Requires Oxygen)
00:27
Anaerobic Respiration
(Does not Require Oxygen)
00:31
Aerobic Respiration Stage 1: GLYCOLYSIS
00:31
This is the first step of cellular respiration. Produces two 3-carbon
pyruvate molecules which is G3P, from a 6-carbon glucose molecule
Produces two net ATP and two NADH molecules.
00:31
Requires two ATP molecules to initiate the reaction. This causes glucose to split
into two G3P molecules. G3P then reduces NAD+ into NADH. Through the reaction
above PGA become pyruvate, which is required for the next stage
00:35
Aerobic Respiration Stage 2: Pyruvate Oxidation
00:35
This stage takes place in the Mitochondrial Matrix where a
carboxyl group is removed from Pyruvate and released as
Carbon Dioxide. The two Carbon molecule from the first stage
is the oxidized molecule, and the NAD+ molecule accepts the
electron to become NADH
00:40
Aerobic Respiration Stage 3: KREBS CYCLE
00:40
8-step cyclic pathway initiates when
acetyl-CoA releases its CoA, the main
objective of this reaction is produce
even more high- energy compounds
such as NADH & FADH2
00:45
Aerobic Respiration stage 4: Electron Transport Chain (ETC) &
Chemiosmosis.
00:45
The majority of ATP is produced by the ETC. This process
takes place across the inner membrane of the mitochondria
and involves the passing of high-energy electrons
(NADH & FADH2) from carrier to carrier.
00:45
Chemiosmosis - Formation of ATP caused
by the movement of H+ ions into the
intermembrane builds up potential energy.
00:51
Anaerobic respiration
00:51
Anaerobic Respiration is mostly present
in environments where oxygen is in short
supply. Organisms that habitat in these
environments have different methods of
consuming nutrients
Ex: Bacteria & Archaea
00:56
Anaerobic Respiration Stage 1: Glycolysis
00:56
Glycolysis allows organisms to produce ATP through partial
breakdown of glucose, even if oxygen is not present during
that process.
01:01
Anaerobic Respiration stage 2: Fermentation
01:01
Cells of anaerobic respiration must go through
short periods without oxygen , fermentation is
less effective that anaerobic/aerobic cellular
respiration because this stage produces less
ATP. Which will lead to build-up of harmful
by-products
