chapter 6 Flashcards
process by which plants make
food.
Photosynthesis
requirements for photosynthesis
water
carbon dioxide
sunlight
small openings in plants that allow carbon dioxide to enter
stomata
small organelles in plants where photosynthesis occurs
chloroplasts
photosynthesis creates
sugar (glucose) oxygen
photosynthesis chemical reaction
Carbon Dioxide + Water + Sunlight → Glucose + Oxygen
process by which plants and animals generate energy
Cellular Respiration
where does cellular respiration take place
the mitochondria
cellular respiratoin makes
carbon dioxide
water
energy (ATP)
a type of nucleotide
is often referred to as the energy currency of the cell.
ATP adenosine triphosphate
ATP is made of
Adenine (nitrogenous base)
Ribose (sugar)
Three phosphate groups
Involves oxygen
Aerobic
Does not involve oxygen
Anaerobic
how is atp made in plants
by breaking down glucose
how is atp made in animals
by breaking down nutrients
molecule that is left after the process that only contains 2 phosphate groups
ADP (adenosine triphosphate)
how does atp work
by breaking bonds and releasing energy.
When ATP is hydrolyzed, it involves the addition of water.
