| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| energy | the ability to do work |
| ATP | adenosine triphosphate. provides energy for the mechanical functions of a cell. is recycled when disregarded |
| chemical bonds formed | energy's stored |
| chemical bonds broken | energy's released |
| 3 parts of an ATP molecule | adenine-A, ribose-B, 3 phosphate groups-C&D |
| ribose | 5-carbon sugar in ATP |
| diffusion | passive, no cellular energy is required |
| active transport | requires cellular energy |
| autotrophs | organisms which make their own food(glucose) by using sunlight energy through the process of photosynthesis. producer |
| heteratroph | animal or organism that eats other organisms and cant make their own food. consumer |
| photosynethesis | process that uses light energy to produce food molecules |
| high energy sugars | glucose, carbohydrates, starch |
| pigment | substance such as chlorophyll that produces a charateristic color in a plant. chlorophyll found in TM |
| electron transport train | a series of electron carrier proteins located on the thylakiod membrane in the light-dependent reaction |
| photosytems | clusters of proteins and chlorophyll in the thylakoid membrane |
| electron carrier | NADP+ |
| photolysis | splitting of water |
| NADPH | transfers high energy electrons to chem. reactions between molecules |
| light-dependent reactions | a series of reactions that use H2O plus energy from sunlight to produce ATP and NADPH. O2 is release into atmosphere |
| light-ind. reactions | a series of reactions that use 6CO2 and energy from NADPH and ATP to produce one single 6-carbon molecule |
