Energy Quiz Flashcards
Where is energy released?
high energy bonds (2nd and 3rd phosphate molecules) of ATP
What does ATP stand for?
Adenosine triphosphate
What is ATP?
A nucleotide that functions as an energy transfer molecule.
What does ATP consist of?
Three phosphate groups, Ribose, and Adenine.
Enzymes
Lower activation energy by combining with reacting molecules.
What stores more energy? ATP or Glucose?
Glucose
Photosynthesis Formula
6CO2 + 12H2O + light energy ——> C6 H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2 O
During photosynthesis, what is converted to what?
Light energy/Solar Energy is converted to Chemical Energy.
Cellular Respiration
Involves breaking chemical bonds of organic food molecules and releasing energy that can be used by the cells.
How much ATP does Aerobic respiration yield?
36ATP
Aerobic respiration Formula
C6H12O6 + 6O2 —–> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy
Anaerobic respiration Formula
C6H12O6(glucose) → 2C2H5OH (ethanol) + 2CO2 (carbon dioxide)
