Summary Introduction

To determine:

The overall equation for glucose breakdown in the presence of oxygen also compares this equation to the overall equation for photosynthesis. Explain the difference in the energy components of the following equations.

Introduction:

The pivotal source of energy on earth is sunlight, almost all living organism on earth utilize energy to carry out the cellular metabolism that comes from sunlight. All organisms including the photosynthesize organism, undergo the process of glycolysis and cellular respiration to break down sugars and other organic molecules and capture the energy as ATP. The breakdown of glucose begins with glycolysis in the cytoplasm of the cell.

Plants convert carbon dioxide and water to glucose 1C6H12O62 and oxygen in the process of photosynthesis. Write a balanced equation for this reaction, and determine how many moles of CO2 are required to produce 15.0 mol of glucose.
The complex chemical reactions that occur in living organisms can sometimes be summarized with chemical equations. The overall process of photosynthesis and aerobic respiration can both be summarized in this way. For the following equations, first determine whether each is summarizing photosynthesis or aerobic respiration, and then click on each of the boxes below the equations and correctly label all of the reactants and products.   The following equation summarizes the reactants and products of A. aerobic respiration B. Photosynthesis
Discuss the relationship between redox potentials E0’ and the organization of the components of the electron transport chain.  Be specific, i.e., use data/actual values to back up your discussion. a) What are the values of E0’ for all the components of the ETS? b)How are the E0’ related to ∆G values? c) How do the values of E0’ vary among the participants in the ETS relative to their position in the ETS?
