Objectives Study Guide: Cell Engery Flashcards
The form of energy used directly by most organisms to carry out their life activities and work 🔨
ATP
How is Energy stored in released by ATP molecules
By adding or removing a phosphate group
The purpose of photosynthesis
To convert water and CO2 into glucose
What are the types of organisms that perform cellular Respiration and where does it take place
Animals/heterotrophs and in the mitochondria
Chemical equation for photosynthesis
6CO2 + 6H2O –> makes C6H12O6 + 6O2
Chemical equation for cellular respiration
C6H12O6+ 6O2 –> makes 6CO2 + 6H2O + 3
Where/ why do cells perform lactic acid fermentation
Takes place in your muscles during hard exercise because your muscles are using up more oxygen more rapidly
Why do you photosynthesis and cellular respiration depend on each other
Because they both need what each other creates
Define energy 💨
The strength it takes to carry out mental and physical activity.
