energy and cell activities Flashcards
what do cell reactions do?
they break down these molecules releasing energy for the biological work cells need to perform.
what are most cells digested into?
nutrient molecules so it can enter the cells.
what is a life activity
using food for energy. food contains the energy from the sun( made from photosynthesis and transported through food chains
how do plants make glucose
by photosynthesis
what type of energy does glucose have
chemical energy
how is glucose made
by light energy
what is light energy absorbed by
chlorophyll
what is the chemical formula of glucose
c6h12o6
what is photosynthesis used for
energy in all cells
what is ATP
it is a nucleotide that functions as an energy transfer molecule
a molecule that allows energy from food molecules to be delivered to cells
ATP
ATP is also
a main energy link between energy using energy releasing reactions
why do we breath
to get energy from our food
what is the photosynthesis chemical equation
6CO2+6H2O+light energy ——> C6H12O6+6O2
what are sugars that leave the cycle used for
are used to form glucose, fructose, starch, cellulose, ect. all of which contain stored energy
