Chapter 8 -9 Flashcards
Activity of cells is powered by
ATP (adenosine triphosphate)
what 3 things make ATP
adenine, 5 carbon sugar(ribose), 3 phosphate groups
ADP can store more energy by adding a
phosphate via bond results in ATP production
How do cells release energy stored in ATP
By breaking the bond between phosphate group
organisms obtain energy by consuming food
heterotrophs
organisms that make their own food using light (plants, algae, bacteria)
autotrophs
Plants convert sunlight, or solar energy into chemical energy stored in bonds of carbs
photosynthesis
Plants pigment to capture light
Chlorophyll
T or F Red and blue are absorbed very well
True
T or F Green is not absorbed well
true
Plants cells contain
Chloroplasts
Found within chloroplast-where light energy is captured
Thylakoids
stack of thylakoids
granum
Fluid portion of chloroplast located outside of thylakoids
stroma
Where is glucose made
Stroma
