Skills: Annotating Chloroplasts Electron micrographs may differ in shape and size depending on where the cross section of the organelle was taken Usually the following features should be notable an...
Chloroplast Structure & Function Structure Chloroplasts are the organelles in plant cells where photosynthesis occurs These organelles are roughly 2 - 10 μm in diameter (they are larger than mi...
Investigating Carbon Fixation in Photosynthesis NOS: Developments in scientific research follow improvements in apparatus: sources of 14C and autoradiography enabled Calvin to elucidate the pathway...
Location of the Light-independent Reactions The light-independent reactions of photosynthesis take place in the stroma of the chloroplasts The stroma is within the double membrane and is a thick pr...
The Electron Transport Chain in Photosynthesis Photophosphorylation is the term for the overall process of using light energy and the electron transport chain to generate ATP from ADP During photop...
Location of the Light-dependent Reactions Photosynthesis takes place in two distinct stages: The light-dependent reaction, which relies on light directly The light-independent reaction, which does ...
Identifying Decarboxylation & Oxidation in Diagrams The stages of respiration can be shown and summarised by different reactions which are shown in diagrams involving chemical molecules The dia...
Structure & Function of the Mitochondrion Mitochondria are rod-shaped organelles 0.5 - 1.0 µm in diameter They are the site of aerobic respiration in eukaryotic cells The function of mitochondr...
NAD & FAD Summary of oxidative phosphorylation Oxidative phosphorylation is the last stage of aerobic respiration It takes place at the inner mitochondrial membrane This is the most efficient p...
