Answer 1

organsims that use sun to make food

Question 2

what are heterotrophs

Answer 2

eat things for food

Question 3

why is atp called that

Answer 3

becuase it has three phosphates

Question 4

are the bonds between the AtP phosphates low or high

Answer 4

Very high energy

Question 5

what will the adp do if it needs more energy in a energy crisis

Answer 5

it turns into AMP

Question 5

what happenes when atp loses a phosphate group

Answer 5

It turns into ADP

Question 6

when a phosphate breaks off what going to be released

Answer 6

a little packet of energy

Question 7

Describe ATP-ADP cycle

Answer 7

adp gets charged back up on atp

Question 8

how come gamma and xrays dont reach us and arent a problem

Answer 8

because fo the atmoshphere and ozone layer for uv lights

robiv blue and red

Question 11

explain the whole light reaction

Question 12

why are there accessory pigiments
like red

Answer 12

to absorb light at different wavelengths and increase the amount of energy they can capture from sunlight:

Question 13

explain the whole dark reaction

Question 14

where does the light reaction occur in the chloroplast

Answer 14

the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplasts

Question 15

What is the structure of ATP

Answer 15

had adenine (nitrogenous base) a ribose (5c sugar) and 3 phosphate groups attached together with high energy bonds

Question 16

what does ATP do

Answer 16

its like electricity that provides energy for the cell

Question 17

what are the stages of photosynthesis

Answer 17

the light-dependent reactions (light reactions), where light energy is captured and converted into chemical energy, and the Calvin cycle (dark reactions)

Question 18

what is the main source of energy that supports life on earth

Answer 18

the sun

Question 18

why is atp called the energy currency of the cell

Answer 18

becuase it powers a lot of cellular molecules.

Question 19

How is the enrgy in ATP released

Answer 19

when one of its phosphate groups is removed through a process called hydrolysis

Question 20

what are some examples of cellular processes that require atp for energy
