UNIT 4 CELL ENERGY
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| ATP consists of adenine, ribose and __________________________ | 3 phosphate groups |
| ADP consists of adenine, ribose and __________________________ | 2 phosphate groups |
| When does an ATP release energy? | the terminal phosphate group is released? |
| How does energy get 'recharged' in the mitochondria? | A phospate group is recombined with an ADP |
| Which organelle is known as the powerhouse of the cell? | mitochondria |
| All living thing require___________ to survive. | energy |
| The major purpose of photosynthesis is to __________ _________ for the plant. | Provide food |
| What organelle does photosynthesis occur in? | chloroplast |
| he name of the green pigment that plants use to make food during a process called photosynthesis | chlorophyll |
| Which compounds go into the photosynthesis | carbon dioxide and water |
| In order for photosynthesis to occur, what is the catalyst (what makes it work)? | Light mainly the sun |
| What are the products of a photosynthesis reaction? | oxygen glucose |
| process where cells break down food (like glucose) in the presence of oxygen to produce energy | aerobic respiration |
| process where cells generate ATP (energy) by breaking down molecules in the absence of oxygen, | anaerobic respiration |
| responsible for the upward transport of water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the leaves, | xylem |
| responsible for the downward transport of water and dissolved minerals from the rleavess to the lrootss, | phloem |
| minute pores in the epidermis of the leaf or stem of a plant which allows movement of gases in and out of the plant | stomata |
| control the plant's gas exchange and water balance by opening and closing the stomata | guard cells |
| primary site for photosynthesis and transpiration, responsible for capturing sunlight and converting it into energy while releasing oxygen. | leaf or leaves |
| the main stalk of a plant that connects the roots to the leaves and flowers | stem |
| the reproductive structure found in flowering plants | flower |
| flowering plants are know as _____________ | angiosperms |
| cone bearing plants are know as _____________ | gymnosperms |
| organisms which perform aerobic respiration (2 general categories) | plant and animala |
| organisms which perform anaerobic respiration give at leat 2 answers | bacteria. yeast animals |
| another word for anaerobic respiration | fermentation |
| Two types of anaerobic respiration | lactic acid and alcohol fermentation |
| part of the mitochondria responsible for regulating the rate which repiration occurs (only inerited from your mother) | Mitochondrial DNA |
