Q

What results in a net output of energy?

A

If the total energy released when new chemical bonds are made is greater than the energy required to break the original chemical bonds.

Q

How does the third bonded phosphate group in ATP cause the release of energy?

A

The third phosphate group has is held by an unstable bond, the unstable bond is broken, and energy is released for the cell to use.

22
Q

What is the equation of the ATP cycle?

A

ATP + water —> ADP + phosphate + energy

23
Q

What is the physical form of energy that cells can use?

A

ATP

24
Q

What is an energy transformation?

A

The process of changing one form of energy into another form of energy

25
Q

define photosynthesis

A

The process that cells in certain organisms undergo to convert light energy into chemical energy

26
Q

why do energy pathways occur in smaller steps?

A

with the help of cofactors and enzymes reducing activation energy, less energy is required by the cell
