Lipid Synthesis

- Smooth ER --> transitional vesicles area --> transports ER products to various destinations

- Golgi apparatus help transport membrane components.

Cellular Respiration

- C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O(+ light energy)

- Both

- MITOCHONDRIA PROCESS: ATP is produced in the mitochondria using energy stored in food. It is all done by the process of respiration.

Photosynthesis

- green coloring matter of leaves/plants, essential to the production of carbohydrates by photosynthesis.

- 6CO2 + 6H2O(+light energy) --> C6H12O6 + 6O2

- Plant

- CHLOROPLAST PROCESS: chlorophyll converts light energy to chemical energy. Produces ATP and NAHPH energy.
