Unit 5 - Cellular Energy Flashcards
heterotroph
cannot make their own food, must eat plants and animals for energy
autotroph
can make their own food through photosynthesis
adenosine triphosphate
atp
what does ATP stand for
adenosine triphosphate
where is ATP produced and stored
mitochondria
what does ATP do
carries energy
what is ATP made up of
one adenine molecule, a ribose sugar, and three phosphates
where is the energy in ATP stored
bonds, most between second and third phosphate
adenosine diphosphate
adp
what does adp stand for
adenosine diphosphate
how is adp formed
ATP loses a phosphate group
how does ATP release energy
bond between second and third phosphate breaks and releases energy
catabolism
chemical reactions where molecules are broken down
anabolism
chemical reactions where molecules are built
metabolism
all chemical reactions in your body
exergonic
reactions that release energy
endergonic
reactions that require energy
phosphorylation
adding a phosphate group
hydrolysis
breaking down a molecule by adding water
what do chloroplasts do
change energy from the sun into chemical energy
what does chlorophyll do
helps a plant gather the sun’s energy
why do leaves change color
chlorophyll breaks down in fall due to less sunlight and accessory pigments show through
examples of accessory pigments
xanthophyll, carotene
thylakoids
small sacs stacked on top of each other in chloroplast
what do thylakoids do
stores chlorophyll
granum
stack of thylakoids, grana plural
stroma
fluid that fills chloroplast
chemical formula for photosynthesis
6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2
reactants in photosynthesis
carbon dioxide and water
products in photosynthesis
glucose and oxygen
reactants
things going into a chemical reaction
products
things produced in a chemical reaction
