Energy

Question 1

What is ATP?

Answer 1

They are the currency of the cell, that provide small amounts of energy that are able to be used for protein transport and other activities

Question 2

What is the structure of ATP

Answer 2

Adenine, ribose and three phosphates

Molecule begins with 2 phosphates. When third phosphate is added, the bond stores energy. This energy is then transported from place to place in the cell

Question 3

What is the molecule with only 2 phosphates

Answer 3

Adenosine Di-phosphate or ADP

Question 4

What are the two processes for making energy

Answer 4

1) cellular respiration: all organisms use gusts to produce energy
2) Photosynthesis: plants are unique in that they can produce those sugars as well

Question 5

What are chloroplasts and what do they do?

Answer 5

Chloroplasts are pigments that trap the light that is not reflected and use this energy to make carbs

Question 6

What are the two stages of photosynthesis

Answer 6

Light reactions (take in light) and dark reactions (make sugar)

Question 7

Where do light reactions take place

Answer 7

In the thylakoids, which are sacs of chlorophyll arranged in stacks

Question 8

What happens in light reactions?

Answer 8

• light excites electron
