The chemical equation of Photosynthesis is 6CO2+6H2O=C6H12O6+6O2

The main process of photosynthesis takes place in the mesophyll of the leaves, inside the chloroplasts.

Chlorophyll absorbs certain parts of the visible spectrum and seizes energy from sunlight.

Photosynthesis requires Sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water as substrates.

Photosynthesis normally takes place in the leaves.

The process of photosynthesis happens in the middle layer called the mesophyll

Chloroplast is the mixture of plastid and chloros

In the presence of oxygen the pyruvic acid will enter the mitochondria and undergo aerobic respiration.

Aerobic respiration includes the stages known as the krebs cycle and the electron transport chain.

Aerobic respiration will yield many more ATP than glycolysis.

In the absence of oxygen, the pyruvic acid will enter the anaerobic pathways of fermentation.

Fermentation yields no additional ATP.

This occurs in the cytoplasm.

Law of conservation of mass - The principle that matter can neither be created nor be destroyed, now part of the first law of thermodynamics. 

Law of conservation of energy - A principle stating that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant regardless of changes within the system.]]> 2016-12-19 08:00:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mayaaboutaha001/cougars_aboutaha/wish/144265304 mayaaboutaha001 https://padlet.com/mayaaboutaha001/cougars_aboutaha/wish/144266297 Cellular respiration - The chemical process that generates most of the energy in the cell, supplying molecules needed to make the metabolic reactions (see metabolism) of an organism run.

The products of photocynthesis is Glucose and Oxygen.

Most of the steps of cellular respiration take place in the mitochondria.

CO2 emmisions - There are both natural and human sources of carbon dioxide emissions. Natural sources include decomposition, ocean release and respiration. Human sources come from activities like cement production, deforestation as well as the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas.]]> 2016-12-19 08:10:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mayaaboutaha001/cougars_aboutaha/wish/144266297 mayaaboutaha001 https://padlet.com/mayaaboutaha001/cougars_aboutaha/wish/144266851 The low rate of energy transfer between trophic levels makes decomposers generally more important than producers in terms of energy flow. Decomposers process large amounts of organic material and return nutrients to the ecosystem in inorganic form, which are then taken up again by primary producers.

Autotrophs (producers) - an organism that is able to form nutritional organic substances from simple inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide.
Heterotrophs (consumers) - Consumers, or heterotrophs, get organic molecules by eating other organisms.
Decomposers - One other group of consumers deserves mention, although it does not always appear in drawings of food chains. This group consists of decomposers, organisms that break down dead organic material and wastes.

Elements used in the biomolecules are Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Sulfur.

the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy. During photosynthesis in green plants, light energy is captured and used to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic.

CoA attaches the2-C Acetate to the 4-C Oxaloacetic Acid to produce the 6-C compound called Citric Acid. The CoA is regenerated to be used again.

The krebs cycle - The citric acid cycle – also known as the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle or the Krebs cycle – is a series reaction used of chemical by all aerobic organisms to release stored energy through the oxidation of acetyl-CoAderived from carbohydrates, fats and proteinsinto carbon dioxide and chemical energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate, (ATP.) In addition, the cycle provides precursors of certain amino acids as well as the reducing agent NADH that is used in numerous other biochemical reactions. Its central importance to many biochemical pathways suggests that it was one of the earliest established components of cellular metabolism and may have originated abiogenically.

ETC -
An electron transport chain (ETC) is a series of compounds that transfer electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors via redox (both reduction and oxidation occurring simultaneously) reactions, and couples this electron transfer with the transferof protons (H+ ions) across a membrane.
