photosythesis and cellular respiration (1st semester, 9th grade)
Question | Answer |
---|---|
What does ATP consist of? | 1 adrenaline, 1 ribose, and 3 phosphates |
How does the cell build new ATP molecules? | by attacking a third phosphate to ADP molecules |
Where does the energy to build a new bond come from? | food that comes into the cell |
Where does energy come from? | organisms consuming some kind of food |
What 2 ways of classification do organisms obtain food? | autotrophs and heterotrophs |
What are autotrophs? | organisms that can make food form carbon dioxide and an energy source like sunlight |
What is an example of an autotroph that doesn't get energy from the sun? | some underwater bacteria are able to produce food they get from inorganic compounds on seafloor |
What are heterotrophs? | organisms that can't make food on their own |
Who do heterotrophs rely on? | autotrophs or other heterotrophs |
What are examples of heterotrophs? | animals, fungi, and many unicellular organisms |
What is photosynthesis? | process by which autotrophs turn sunlight into energy usable form |
What do autotrophs that perform photosynthesis contain? | chemicals called pigments |
What exactly are pigments? | a molecule that absorbs certain wave lengths of light and reflect others |
What is a really important pigment in autotrophs? | chlorophyll |
What exactly is chlorophyll? | photosynthetic pigment that absorbs violet, blue, and red |
where do autotrophs store pigments in? | in organelles called chloroplasts |
what is chloroplast? | an organelle that does photosynthesis |
what are the 3 parts to chloroplast? | thylakoid, grana, and stroma |
what's thylakoid? | a disc shaped structure that contains all of the pigments necessary for photosynthesis |
what happens inside the thylakoid? | chlorophyll molecules and other pigments organize into units called photosystems |
what happens during photosynthesis? | plants take sun and water and carbon dioxide and create sugar and releases oxygen as a byproduct |
whats the formula for photosynthesis? | 6CO2+6H2O+(light energy)-C6H12O6+6O2 |
what are the 2 stages in photosynthesis? | light dependent reaction, and Calvin cycle |
autotrophs convert sugar into ATP and uses that energy to perform what? | life processes like growth and reproduction |
what else breaks down sugar in order to release energy? | animals |
what's the process of breaking sugars down to release energy? | cellular respiration |
what is cellular respiration? | series of chemical reactions which produces ATP |
what are the 2 types of cellular respiration? | aerobic and anaerobic |
which of these processes needs oxygen: aerobic and anaerobic? | aerobic- needs oxygen anaerobic- no need for oxygen |
3 stages of aerobic respiration are: | glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and electron transport |
what is glycolysis converted into? | pyruvate |
where does glycolysis process happen? | in the cells cytoplasm outside of the mitochondria |
how many ATP are produced during glycolysis? | 2 ATP |
what is energy from NADH and FADH2 transferred into? | ATP |
what does the electron transport process need? | oxygen |
how many ATP are produced during the electron transport process? | 32 ATP |
how many ATP are produced during the aerobic respiration process? | 36 ATP from 1 molecule of sugar |
what is aerobic respiration? | process that releases energy from food molecules in absence of oxygen |
where does the process of aerobic respiration happen? | in some unicellular organisms or in some small cells of multicellular organisms (like muscle cells) |
what does anaerobic respiration use? | fermentation |
what is fermentation? | process of extracting energy from pyruvate in absence of oxygen |
what are the 2 types of anaerobic respiration? | alcoholic fermentation and lactic acid |
during alcoholic fermentation, what are the 2 byproducts? | carbon dioxide and ethanol (alcohol) |
in lactic acid fermentation, what does the pyruvate convert to? | lactic acid |
