| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What does Adenosine Triphosphate stand for? | ATP |
| ATP is comprised of how many phosphate groups? | Three |
| What does ATP do? | Stores and releases energy |
| How does ATP store and release energy? | By breaking and reforming bonds between phosphate groups |
| An organism that must produce its own food is known as what? | An autotroph |
| What is a heterotroph? | An organism that must get its food from an source other than itself |
| What is the main type of pigment that plays a role in photosynthesis? | Chlorophyll |
| Where in the chloroplast is chlorophyll located? | Thylakoids |
| A plant would grow GREAT under red light. TRUE or FALSE | True |
| The stack of grana is made up of what structures? | Thylakoids |
| Plant cells contain what organelle that helps with photosynthesis? | Chloroplast |
| Thylakoids are stacked together in the chloroplast. What is this stack called? | Stack of grana |
| Carbohydrates are made of what three atoms? | Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen |
| 6CO2 + _________ WITH LIGHT = C6H12O6 + __________ | 6 H2O & 6O2 |
