What is an autotroph? Give an example
An organism that is able to form nutritional organic substances from simple inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide.
Plants
What is a heterotroph? Give an example
An organism deriving its nutritional requirements from complex organic substances
Carnivores
Define photosynthesis
The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct
What do ADP and ATP stand for?
ADP-Adenosime Diphosphate
ATP-Adenosine Triphosphate
What is the different between ADP and ATP?
ATP-3 phosphate molecules
ADP-2 phosphate molecules
What are the effects of ATP in the cell?
Glucose exit times were longer than in normal cells and the times increased with the duration of depletion
List 5 activities that require ATP
cell division.
synthesis of proteins from amino acids.
active transport.
muscle cell contraction (in animal bodies)
transmission of nerve impulses (in animal bodies)
What are the three parts of ATP?
Ribose
Adenosine
Three phosphate molecule
Write the equation for photosynthesis
