Bioenergetics Flashcards
Mitochondria
tHe poWeRhOuSe of the cELL
Which organelle creates ATP (cell energy) from organic molecules (food)?
The mitochondria!
Mitochondria __________ the chemical ______ in glu____ to the _____ of ATP.
Mitochondria TRANSFORMS the chemical ENERGY in GLUCOSE to the BONDS of ATP.
WHAT IS THE CHLOROPLAST@@
It is an organelle that creates CARBOHYDRATES (like glucose) using energy from the SUN, CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) and WATER.
Where are chloroplasts usually found?
Autotrophs (ex: plants).
Chloroplasts _________ the energy in _____ into ________ energy (glucose).
Chloroplasts TRANSFORMS the energy in LIGHT into CHEMICAL energy (GLUCOSE).
Photosynthesis is…..
A process that autotrophs use to capture the energy in sunlight to create food.
Which organelle does photosynthesis happen in?
In chloroplasts!!!
What is the difference between cell respiration and photosynthesis?
The difference is that CELL RESPIRATION is a process that organisms use to break down food (chemical energy) and transform it into ATP in the presence of oxygen. While PHOTOSYNTHESIS is a process that autotrophs use to CAPTURE THE ENERGY in sunlight to create food.
Which organelle does cell respiration occur in?
It occurs in the MITOCHONDRIA.
TRUE or FALSE: Cell respiration is NOT conducted by autotrophs and heterotrophs.
false, it IS conducted by AUTOTROPHS and HETEROTROPHS.
How are photosynthesis and cell respiration related?
They both transform energy, and they both use products of others as reactants.
ATP definition:
A. Conducted by AUTOTROPHS and HETEROTROPHS.
B. Cell energy molecule created during cell respiration in the mitochondria.
C. A process that autotrophs use to CAPTURE THE ENERGY in sunlight to create food.
D. An organelle that creates CARBOHYDRATES (like glucose) using energy from the SUN, CO2 (Carbon Dioxide), and WATER.
B. Cell energy molecule created during cell respiration in the mitochondria.
What is used to power all cell functions?
ATP (Adenosine triphosphate).
When ATP is used, what is it turned into?
ADP.
