Unit 4 Study Guide Flashcards
What does ATP stand for
Adenosine triphosphate
Difference between autotroph and heterotrophs
Heterotroph octanes the food by consuming other living things, autotroph produces its own food
How does ATP provide energy for the cell
Energy is released when the bond between the second and third phosphate is broken
List three ways a cell will use energy from ATP
- Active transport across the cell membrane
- Movement of cell organelles within the cell
- Daily life processes of the cell
Single glucose molecule can store ___ Times more energy than one ATP molecule
90
What cell organelle does the process of photosynthesis take place
Chloroplast
Define photosynthesis
Process used by plants and other autotrophs to capture light energy and use it to power chemical reactions that convert rich carbohydrates such as sugars and starches
The plants main pigment for energy production is
Chlorophyll
List three factors that affect photosynthesis
- Temperature
- Amount of water
- Light intensity
Define cellular respiration
Process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen
Chemical equation for cellular respiration
6O2 + C6H12O6 = 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy
Oxygen + glucose = carbon dioxide + water + oxygen
Chemical equation for photosynthesis
6CO2 + 6H2O = 6O2 + C6H12O6
Carbon dioxide + water = glucose + oxygen
Describe the process of glycolysis
Occurs in the cytoplasm where glucose is split in half forming, pyruvic acid releases to ATPs
What is the difference between anaerobic and aerobic respiration
Anaerobic lacks the presence of oxygen aerobic occurs in the presence of oxygen
Anaerobic respiration is also called
Fermentation
