Ch.8/9 Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis Test Flashcards
What carries the chemical energy used for most cell processes?
ATP
When bonds are ______, usable energy is _______
broken - released
What makes up ATP?
3 phosphate groups
Energy is released when ___ turns into ____ and when a _____ _____ is removed
ATP - ADP - phosphate group
Use energy in sunlight to make organic food molecules (glucose)
producer (autotroph)
What types of organisms undergo photosynthesis?
Green plants, algae, some bacteria
Obtain energy by eating other organisms
consumer (heterotroph)
What organisms are heterotrophs?
Fungi, animals (you & I)
Captures energy from sunlight to make sugars
Photosynthesis
A molecule that absorbs light energy
Chlorophyll
Where is chlorophyll found?
In the chloroplasts. It is in the thylakoid
When would an organism perform chemosynthesis?
An organism that does not get sunlight performs chemosynthesis
What is chemosynthesis?
Chemical energy is used to build carbon-based molecules. Used chemical energy instead of light energy
Where does photosynthesis occur?
In the chloroplast
What two parts of the chloroplast does photosynthesis occur in?
grana- stacks of thylakoids
stroma- fluid portion
What is the equation for photosynthesis?
6CO2 + 6h20 —–>(sunlight) C6H12O6 + 6O2
What are the reactants of photosynthesis?
CO2 (enters in stomata) and H2O (absorbed through roots; capillary action)
What are the products of photosynthesis?
Glucose and oxygen
