Chapter 6 Flashcards
ATP is made of
adenosine
3 phosphate groups
add a phosphate to ADP forming
ATP (endergonic)
removing a phosphate to ATP forming
ADP (exergonic)
all cells make ATP from
glucose and oxygen
to make ATP plants must first
go through photosynthesis
to make ATP animals must
eat plants
taking stored energy and turning it into usable energy
cellular respiration
cellular respiration produces
32 ATP from 1 glucose
energy units needed to raise 1 kg water to 1 degree C
kilocalories
glucose’s carbon-hydrogen bonds break
redox reaction
electrons lost by food
redox reaction
power uphill process that produces ATP
redox reaction
one substance loses electrons to another
redox reaction
one goes through oxidation one goes through reduction
redox reaction
loses electrons or gains hydrogen ions
oxidation
increase in positive charge
oxidation
