What is ATP? - acronym for adenosine triphosphate, which is the organic molecule responsible for intracellular energy transfer in cells, Where is most of the energy in ATP stored? - most of the energy is stored in the bonds between the second and third phosphate groups., How does ATP release the energy so that the cell can use it? - When one phosphate group is removed by breaking a phosphoanhydride bond in a process called hydrolysi, What does releasing the energy do to the ATP molecule? - it loses one of its phosphate groups, transforming itself from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) into adenosine diphosphate (ADP), Plants are autotrophs. What does that mean? - they can produce their own food through the process of photosynthesis., Animals are heterotrophs. What does that mean? - organisms that cannot produce their own food through carbon fixation, What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis? - 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + Light -> C6H12O6 + 6 O2., What happens to the sunlight energy absorbed by the plant? - they convert it into glucose to store excess energy and create ATP for metabolic activities, How do organisms get ATP? - produced by the oxidative reactions in the cytoplasm and mitochondria of the cell,, What is the chemical equation for cellular respiration? - C6H12O6 + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + 38 ATP., Cellular respiration compare to the outputs of photosynthesis? - 0ne requires carbon dioxide and releases oxygen, cellular respiration requires oxygen and releases carbon dioxide., Who can do cellular respiration? - Cellular respiration occurs in both plants and animals, but not in prokaryotes,, Where do plants get their mass? - from carbon through the process of photosynthesis., What are plants made of? - composed of rigid cell walls made of cellulose, chloroplasts, a nucleus, and large vacuoles filled with water., What is cellulose? - a polymer formed from a monomer beta glucose., What is mitochondria? - an organelle found in the cells of most eukaryotes, such as animals, plants and fungi,
