Cell Energy Quiz,ATP and PS/CR Flashcards
What is ATP?
It is a molecule that provides energy to drive and support many processes in living cells
What does ATP and ADP stand for?
adenosine diphosphate and adenosine triphosphate
What are the parts of an ATP molecule?
adenine, ribose, and three phosphate groups
What process makes ATP?
cellular respiration
How does ATP break down? What does it break down to?
ATP breaks down through hydrolysis, and becomes into ADP
Where is energy stored in an ATP molecule?
bonds between the phosphate groups
What molecule do we need in order to form ATP from ADP?
a phosphate and energy
Photosynthesis and Cell Respiration?: explain what they each do
- Photosynthesis: is the process where plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy to food/sugar.
- Cell Respiration: a process that converts sugar/food into usable energy
Describe the parallels/compare photosynthesis and cell respiration. Be specific and include what both of them do (or rather what they MAKE).
- photosynthesis: plants use sunlight to make glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water
- cellular respiration: plants and animals break down glucose with oxygen to make ATP.
- The oxygen and glucose from photosynthesis are used in cellular respiration, and the carbon dioxide and water from cellular respiration are used in photosynthesis.
- This creates a cycle that provides energy for life.
Autotroph
- An autotroph is an organism that can make its own food. It uses energy from sources like the sun or from chemicals.
Heterotroph
- is an organism that cannot make its own food and instead relies on consuming other organisms (plants, animals, or both) for energy
- must consume glucose and cannot biologically make it
what is starch, the stomata, and what is the chloroplast
- the organelle that photosynthesis occurs in
- chains of gluclose molecules stored in plants for later use
- holes underneath the leaf that allows for gas exchange between the leaf and the environment
Everything about photosynthesis: (who does it, location, products, reactants, what it does, etc)
- Who does it?: Autotrophs
- What happens?: Process in which autotrophs use light energy to make food/sugar (specifically glucose)
- Location in cell: chloroplast
- Reactants?: water, carbon dioxide, and light energy
- Products?: glucose and oxygen
Everything about cell respiration: (who does it, location, products, reactants, what it does, etc)
- Who does it?: Autotrophs and heterotrophs
- What happens?: Process that converts sugars/food into usable energy.
- Location in cell: starts in the cytoplasm, ends in the mitochondria
- Reactants?: glucose, oxygen
- Products?: water, carbon dioxide, ATP energy
cells use ATP for
active transport, movement, photosynthesis, protein synthesis, cellular respiration, all other cellular reactions
