Chp 4 notes Flashcards
four energy relationships
- everything needs energy
- when energy is used some of it lost
- Cell store energy for whenever they need it
- Have to keep energy stores up
What are Autotrophs?
What do Autotrophs do?
Producers
Make their own food
What are Heterotrophs?
What do they do?
consumer
can’t make their own food
ATP chemicals
Adenosine triphosphate
What is ATP
Organisms store energy as cards, lipids, & protein
What does ( ate ) mean
oxygen
what does (phosph) mean
phosphorous
What does triphosphate mean?
3 phosphorus surrounded by oxygen
what are cards
starch and glycogen
how much can lipids store
2x more energy / gram then cards
when does protein come into use
last to be used
why is ATP better than protein and lipids and cards
Smaller and useable energy
accessed quickly
What are the things that makeup ATP
Phosphate - 3 groups
Ribose - 5 carbon sugar
adenine - base found in DNA
what kind of energy is ATP
chemical energy
Where is the energy stored in ATP
in bonds btwn phosphates
what happens when you break the phosphate bonds
releases energy
what happens when you use ATP
it turns into ADP
phosphate comes off
you make energy
what does ADP mean
Adenosine diphoshpate
how do you make ADP to ATP
add a Phosphate (P)
Why can’t ATP be stored?
it will break down
its unstable
