Q

Photoautotrophs

A

Autotrophs that convert light energy from the sun

17
Q

What things make up life?

A

Proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, anabolic acid

18
Q

Metabolism

A

All the chemical reactions in a cell

19
Q

How many chemical reactions happen in our bodies every second?

A

Billion billions

20
Q

Chemical reaction

A

Making and breaking of bonds

21
Q

What happens when bonds break?

A

Energy is released

22
Q

What happens when bonds are made?

A

Storing energy

23
Q

Metabolic pathway

A

A series of chemical reactions in which the product of one reaction us the substrate for the next reaction

24
Q

Catabolic pathways

A

Release energy by breaking down larger molecules into smaller molecules

25
Anabolic pathways
Use the energy released by catabolic pathways to build larger molecules from smaller molecules
26
Catabolic and anabolic pathways relationship:
Continual flow of energy within an organism
27
Photosynthesis
Using light energy to build larger molecules (chemical energy)
28
Autotrophs use light energy, carbon dioxide, water to form
Glucose and oxygen
29
Cellular respiration
The process of turning food into our fuel (ATP)
30
What does oxygen do in cellular respiration?
Breaks down organic molecules, resulting in the production of carbon dioxide and water
31
Cyclical nature
The products of one reaction are the reactants for the other reaction
32
ATP
The unit of cellular energy
33
Where is chemical energy stored
Biological molecules
34
Adenosine triphosphate
APT most important biological molecules that provides chemical energy
35
What is the order when phosphates continue to break down because they are malnourished?
ATP->ADP->AMP
36
ATP is:
- most abundant energy carrier - found in all types of organisms Made of an adenine base, a ribose sugar, and three phosphate groups
37
How many phosphates are on an ATP?
3
38
ATP function
Releases when the bond between the second and third phosphate group is broken
