Chapter 8 Part One Flashcards
Why is energy stored in atp?
To hold the phosphate groups together
ATP
•adenosine triphosphate (short term; glucose=long term)
When a phosphate group is removed from ATP…
Energy is released (ADP is formed)
How do ATP and ADP differ?
ATP has one more phosphate group.
Charges in a battery of ATP and adp
ADP= 1/2 charged ATP= fully charged
Energy from ATP is used to do what?
- biosynthesis (make macromolecules)
- active transport
- movement
Glucose stores how much more energy?
90X
Autotrophs
Make their own food
Ex. Plants ,some bacteria, some Protists
Heterotrophs
Eat/absorb food
Ex. Animals, fungi, some Protists, some bacteria
Where does photosynthesis occur?
Chloroplast
Chloroplasts contain what?
Pigments
Chlorophyll(green)
Carotenoids (red
What makes chlorophyll a primary pigment ?
- Red, orange, blue, and purple are performing photosynthesis
- yellow and green are reflected/ transmitted (cannot be used to preform photosynthesis)
Carotenoids
Absorb green, which helps plants to absorb more energy
Chloroplast contain the following parts
- thylakoids (pancakes)
- grana (stack)
- stroma (syrup)
