From Chloroplast to Mitochondria
Energy transfer among molecules
Electrons leave one molecule (oxidation) and are gained by another (reduction)
aka redox reaction
Redox Reactions
Photosynthesis is a redox reaction:
Carbon dioxide (CO2 ) is reduced to sugar (C6 H12 O6 )
Water (H2 O) is oxidized to oxygen (O2 )
Review of ATP
The energy we use from ATP is stored in the bonds between phosphates
