Chemical Energy
What is energy stored in chemical bonds?
Energy stored in the bonds of glucose and other molecules.
What is photosynthesis?
A process that uses sunlight to make sugar from carbon dioxide and water.
What is cellular respiration?
A process that breaks down glucose to make ATP.
What is fermentation?
A pathway cells use to make ATP when oxygen is absent.
What is a phosphate group?
Energy is released when this part of ATP is removed.
What is ATP?
The molecule cells use immediately to power activities like movement and transport.
What is the chloroplast?
The organelle where sugars are produced in plant cells.
What is aerobic respiration?
Respiration that requires oxygen.
What is NAD⁺?
This molecule must be regenerated for glycolysis to continue.
What is a high-energy bond?
The bond between phosphate groups that stores energy.
What is a chemical bond?
A type of bond that stores energy that can be released during reactions.
The pigment that absorbs light energy.
What is chlorophyll?
What is glucose?
The molecule broken apart to begin energy release.
What is lactic acid fermentation?
The type that occurs in muscle cells during intense exercise.
What is active transport?
ATP provides energy for this process that moves substances across membranes.
What is cellular respiration?
The process that slowly releases energy from food inside cells.
The main source of energy used by plants to make food.
What is sunlight?
What is the cytoplasm?
The location where glycolysis takes place.
What is alcoholic fermentation?
The type that produces alcohol and carbon dioxide.
What is hydrolysis?
This reaction releases energy when ATP loses a phosphate group.
What are molecular bonds?
Energy is released when these bonds are broken and rearranged.
What is carbon dioxide?
The gas taken in through leaf openings to make sugar.
What is water?
This forms when oxygen combines with electrons and hydrogen.
What is yeast?
An organism commonly used in baking and brewing.
What are enzymes?
Energy from ATP is commonly used to change the shape of these proteins.
