Title
chemical description of photosynthesis and oxidation processes

Photosynthesis and the oxidation of glucose are chemically opposite processes. Photosynthesis builds glucose from carbon dioxide and water, and is an endergonic process. Oxidation of glucose (an important part of our metabolism) produces carbon dioxide and water, and is exergonic.

Title
illustration of the mitochondrion.
Caption
The mitochondrion.
Notes
Cells hgave many mitochondria. The citric acid cycle takes place in the matrix. Electron transport and ATP production, the final stage in biochemical energy generation, takes place at the inner surface of the inner membrane. The numerous folds in the inner membrane--known as cristae--increase the surface area over which these pathways can take place.

Notes
The red line shows the path of electrons, and the green lines show the paths of hydrogen ions. The movement of hydrogen ions across the inner membrane creates a higher concentration on the intermembrane side of the inner membrane than on the matrix side. The energy released by hydrogen ions returning through the membrane (through ATP synthase) provides the energy necessary to make ATP.
