Biology: Chemical Energy and ATP
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| The chemical energy used for most cell processes is carried by | ATP |
| All cells need | chemical energy |
| Molecules in food store chemical energy in their | bones |
| ATP transfer energy from the breakdown of food molecules to | cell functions |
| Energy is released when a phosphate group is | added |
| ADP is changed into ATP when a phosphate is | added |
| Organism breakdown carbon-based most commonly broken down to make | ATP |
| Fats store the most | energy |
| 80% of the energy in your body is | fats |
| Fats have about 146 ATP from a | triglyceride |
| Proteins are least likely to be broken down to make | ATP |
| Amino acids not usually needed for | energy |
| About the same of energy as a | carbohydrate |
| A few types of organisms don't need sunlight and photosynthesis as a | source of energy |
| Some organisms line in places that never get | sunlight |
| Chemosynthesis has chemical energy is used to build | carbon-based molecules |
| A molecule that transferred energy from the breakdown of food molecules to cell process is | ATP |
| Is a lower-energy molecule that can be converted into ATP by the addition of a phosphate group is | ADP |
| Is a process by which some organisms use chemical energy to make-storing carbon based molecules | chemosynthesis |
