1
Respiration equation
C6H12O6 + O2 -> CO2 + H2O + ATP
2
Glycolysis
Happens in cytoplasm, anaerobic
3
Glycolysis function
Produces 2 ATP, breaks glucose down into pyruvate
4
Link Reaction
Happens in Mitochondrial Matrix
5
Link Reaction function
Pryuvate -> Acetyl-CoA + CO2 + NADH, produces NADH
6
Krebs Cycle (Critic Acid Cycle)
Happens in Mitochondrial Matrix
7
Krebs Cycle function
Acetyl-CoA → CO2 + ATP + NADH + FADH2, Acetyl-CoA is used to create energy carriers
8
Electron Transport Chain
Happens in inner mitochondrial membrane
9
ETC function
Energy carriers are moved through protein pumps and lose electrons which creates a proton gradient, which is used to power enzymes, which create ATP
10
ATP made per glucose molecule.
Overall, 36-38 ATP
11
Photosynthesis equation
CO2 + H2O + Light Energy → C6H12O6 + O2
12
Light-dependent reaction
Happens in thylakoid membranes in chloroplasts
13
LDR function
Water is broken using sunlight and chlorophyll, releasing O2, and giving energy which is used to form ATP.
14
Calvin Cycle (Light-independant reaction)
Happens in stroma of chloroplasts
15
Calvin Cycle function
Uses ATP and NADPH from light reactions, CO2 is reacted into glucose C6H12O6 through a series of enzyme-catalysed steps
16
Meiosis
One diploid cell becomes 4 haploid cells (2n-4*n)
17
PMATPMAT
Meiosis stages
18
Prophase I
Chromosomes condense and become visible, homologous chromosomes pair up, crossing over occurs at chiasmata, segments of DNA are exchanged between homologous chromosomes, nuclear membrane breaks down. Crossing over takes place.
19
Metaphase I
Homologous pairs line up at the metaphase plate, orientation of each pair is random
20
Anaphase I
Homologous chromosomes separate to opposite poles (sister chromatids remain together).
21
Telophase I and Cytokinesis
Two haploid cells form (chromosomes still duplicated).
22
Prophase II
Chromosomes condense again in each haploid cell.
23
Metaphase II
Chromosomes line up individually at the metaphase plate.
24
Anaphase II
Sister chromatids separate to opposite poles.
25
Telophase II and Cytokinesis
Four haploid daughter cells form, each genetically unique.
26
Crossing over in Prophase I
Mixes alleles between homologous chromosomes.
27
Independent assortment in Metaphase I
Random combination of maternal and paternal chromosomes in gametes.
28
Additional diversity.
Mutations during DNA replication
29
Mitosis
One diploid cell becomes 2 identical diploid cells (2n-2*2n)
30
PMAT
Mitosis stages
31
Prophase
Chromosomes condense, nuclear membrane breaks, spindles form from centrosomes.
32
Metaphase
Chromosomes line up single-file at the metaphase plate.
33
Anaphase
Sister chromatids separate to opposite poles.
34
Telophase and Cytokinesis
Nuclear membranes reform, cytoplasm divides producing two identical daughter cells.
