Photosynthesis & Transpiration Quiz Flashcards
Energy:
the ability to do
cellular work (life
functions).
*Chemical energy comes
from glucose/food.
Heterotrophic Nutrition
*Organisms consume food
(glucose).
Ex. Animals, fungi, ameba,
paramecia & some bacteria
Autotrophic Nutrition
*Organisms make own food
(glucose).
*Conduct Photosynthesis or
Chemosynthesis.
Ex. Plants, green algae, moss,
euglena, phytoplankton &
cyanobacteria
ATP transfers energy…
efficiently for powering
life functions.
* ADP is always inside of
cells…waiting to be
converted to ATP!
where is atp made and broken?
within cells
ATP vs. Glucose…
BOTH ATP &
Glucose are
forms of
chemical
energy!
what are both glucose and ATP?
BOTH ATP &
Glucose are
forms of
chemical
energy!
ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate):
Briefly stores chemical
energy!
*When a phosphate
(Pi
) is broken off of
ATP…the energy
released powers life
functions, active
transport, cell division,
organelle movement,
etc.
ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate):
Using the energy released
from breaking down food
(glucose), a cell can briefly
store energy by bonding
ADP to Pi .
ATP Dehydration Synthesis Definition:
Making ATP! Must first break bonds in glucose to
have energy for bonding ADP + P = ATP.
ATP Dehydration Synthesis occur?
During Cellular Respiration! (occurs all
the time, 24 hours a day…non-stop!)
ATP Dehydration Synthesis Equation :
ADP + P + energy from breaking bonds in glucose → ATP + H2
0
ATP synthase
ATP Hydrolysis Definition:
Breaking ATP to release energy that can
be used to fuel cell processes/life functions!
ATP Hydrolysis occur?
When energy is needed for
active transport, metabolism, protein synthesis, etc.
ATP Hydrolysis Equation:
ATP + H2
0 → ADP + P + usable energy (fuels life functions!)
ATPase
