unit 5 mid term Flashcards
What is the main energy source for most living things?
The sun
ATP
Adenosine Triphosphate
What does ATP do?
Carries energy for your body
What is ATP made of?
1 adenine, 1 ribose sugar, and 3 phospates
Where is energy in ATP stored?
bonds, mostly between the second and third phosphate
ADP
Adenosine Diphosphate
How is ADP formed?
ATP losses a phosphate group
How is energy released from ATP?
bonds between the second and thrid phosphate is broken and energy is released
Catabolism
chemical reactions where molecules are broken down
Anabolism
chemical reactions where molecules are built
Metabolism
the sum of all the 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
Chloroplast
organelles in plant cells that change energy from the sun into chemical energy
Chlorophyll
A green pigment in plants that helps a plant gather the sun’s energy
Thylakoids
Small sacs stacked on top of each other stores chorophyll
Gramun
stack of thylakoids
stroma
fluid that fills the chloroplast
photosynthesis formula
6H2O + 6CO2 + sunlight —> C6H12O6 + 6O2
stoma
opening on the underside of leaves that gas exchanges to happen
Where do light reactions occur?
In the thylakoids
What comes out of a light reaction?
oxygen
