cellular respiration and photosynthesis (5) Flashcards
What energy do cells require to be alive
Chemical
What do cells immediately store
usable chemical energy
What form do cells store usable energy in?
ATP
What does ATP stand for?
adenosine triphosphate
What is ATP?
a molecule with high energy terminal phosphate bond that is easily broken to realise a small packet of energy.
What does ATP because when its given up its energy
ADP and pi. it can be recharged again and used
what is cellular respiration
a process that produces energy by breaking down organic molecules
what is the formula for glucose
C₆H₁₂O₆
what is the formula for oxygen
O₂
what is the respiration summary equation
glucose + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water + energy (ATP)
what is fermentation
occurs when there isn’t oxygen available,
what does anaerobic cellular respiration mean in a simple word
fermentation
where do reactions occur in fermentation
the cytosol only
how many atp for every glucose molecule consumed does fermentation produce
2
what is photosynthesis
the process where plants use chlorophyll and light energy to turn carbon dioxide and water into chemical energy in the form of glucose
