Energy
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Ways to obtain energy: who does what? What are those organisms called? | Food/Sunlight Autotrophs: make own food heterotrophs: obtain energy from food consumed |
| ATP: What is it? When is energy released? How is energy stored? | Adenosine triphosphate; a chemical that stores and releases energy store energy: add phosphate to ADP release energy: break bond between 2nd and 3rd phosphate |
| 1 Electron Transporters (AKA taxi drivers): Which ones are used in which process? What is there job? Who do they “drive? Where do they “drive” them? What do the do after dropping off “passangers”? | NADP+ - Photosynthesis - picks up high energy e- & transfer them to another molecule - 2 high energy electrons & an H+ ion to make NADPH - NADPH carries e- to other chemical reactions within the |
| 2 Electron Transporters (AKA taxi drivers): Which ones are used in which process? What is there job? Who do they “drive? Where do they “drive” them? What do the do after dropping off “passangers”? | NAD+ - glycolysis - accepts a pair of high-energy electrons --> NADH - holds the electrons until they can be transferred to other molecules - basically, helps to pass energy from glucose to other pathways in the cell |
