Abbreviations
What is the chemical formula for carbon dioxide?
CO2
Which organelle turns sunlight into energy?
Chloroplast
modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and other materials for transport within the cell or to be sent outside the cell
Golgi apparatus
why do cells need ATP?
Cells need ATP to power various functions like movement, growth, and transport of molecules.
What is photosynthesis?
Plants use ATP made during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis to help produce glucose in the light-independent reactions.
What does ATP stand for?
Adenosine triphosphate
What is the role of vacuoles in a cell?
store water, nutrients, and waste. provide support and structure for the cell
has ribosomes and helps make proteins.
rough ER
How is ATP related to cellular respiration?
How is ATP related to cellular respiration?Cellular respiration produces ATP by breaking down glucose in the presence of oxygen.
What do plants need to perform photosynthesis?
Plants need sunlight, carbon dioxide (CO₂), and water (H₂O) for photosynthesis.
what does ADP stand for?
what does ADP stand for?Adenosine diphosphate
Which organelle is a gel-like fluid inside the cell that holds all the cell’s organelles and allows chemical reactions to occur?
Cytoplasm
makes lipids
smooth er
Where in the cell is ATP mostly produced?
ATP is mostly produced in the mitochondria
Where in the plant does photosynthesis happen?
In the chloroplasts
What is the chemical formula for photosynthesis?
What is the chemical formula for photosynthesis?carbon dioxide + water + sunlight -> oxygen and glucose
Located within the nucleus, produces ribosomes, which are essential for protein synthesis.
Nucleolus
transports proteins and other materials throughout the cell.
endoplasmic reticulum
Can ATP be stored for a long time?
No, ATP is not stored for long; it is used quickly by cells and needs to be constantly regenerated.Can ATP be stored for a long time?
What are the main products of photosynthesis?
The main products are glucose (a type of sugar) and oxygen (O₂).
What is the chemical formula for glucose?
What is the chemical formula for glucose?C6H12O6
Transport materials within the cell and can move substances to and from the cell membrane.
are part of the cytoskeleton that provide structural support and help with cell division and intracellular transport.
microtubules
How do plants use ATP in photosynthesis?
Plants use ATP made during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis to help produce glucose in the light-independent reactions.
What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll is a green pigment that absorbs sunlight, allowing the plant to use this energy for photosynthesis.
