Cells and Energy
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What does ATP stand for ? and what is it ? | Adenine TriPhosphate. Is a source of energy for cell activities. |
| What's ADP ? | It's formed when one phosphate group is released. |
| Define Photosynthesis. | is converting sunlight energy into chemical energy. |
| What's the photosynthesis formula ? | CO +H O -----> C H O +O 2 2 light 6 12 6 2 |
| Define Cellular Respiration. | is the converting of glucose into ATP |
| What's the Cellular Respiration formula ? | C H O +O ----> CO +H O+ATP 6 12 6 2 2 2 |
| Aerobic Respiration | it requires oxygen (creates MOST ATP molecules) |
| Anaerobic Respiration | does not require oxygen (creates ONLY 2 ATP molecules) |
| 2 Types of Anaerobic Respiration | Alcoholic Fermentation and Lactic Acid Fermentation |
| Alcoholic Fermentation | is performed by yeast and bacteria. |
| Lactic Acid Fermentation | is performed by muscle cells; when not enough oxygen is available it causes muscle soreness. |
