ATP (Adenosine triphosphate)
What is the structure of ATP?
ATP is made of one adenine base, one ribose sugar, and three phosphate groups.
What is the structure of a chloroplast?
What is the structure of a chloroplast? A chloroplast has an outer membrane, an inner membrane, stroma (fluid), and stacks of thylakoids called grana.
What are the steps of the cell respiration process?
Glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain. What is the difference between an aerobic and an anaerobic process? Aerobic processes require oxygen, while anaerobic processes do not require oxygen.
What is ATP used for?
ATP is used as the main energy source for cells to carry out processes such as movement, growth, repair, and active transport.
What are the 2 phases of photosynthesis and where do they occur?
The light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes, and the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) occur in the stroma.
Where does photosynthesis take place?
Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts of plant cells.
How is energy released from ATP?
Energy is released when the bond between the second and third phosphate groups is broken. Photosynthesis equation (reactants and products) Reactants: carbon dioxide, water, and light energy Products: glucose and oxygen (CO₂ + H₂O + light → C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂)
What captures the light for photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll captures the light energy for photosynthesis.
What are the 2 types of fermentation? Lactic acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation. How are photosynthesis and cell respiration directly related? Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen that are used in cellular respiration, while cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide and water that are used in photosynthesis.
Lactic acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation. How are photosynthesis and cell respiration directly related? Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen that are used in cellular respiration, while cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide and water that are used in photosynthesis.
What happens if no oxygen is present at the end of glycolysis?
Fermentation occurs to allow glycolysis to continue producing ATP.
What factors can affect the rate of photosynthesis?
Light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration, temperature, and water availability affect the rate of photosynthesis.
How much ATP is produced from each step of cell respiration?
Glycolysis produces 2 ATP, the Krebs cycle produces 2 ATP, and the electron transport chain produces about 32–34 ATP.
What is the purpose of cell respiration? Where does it occur?
The purpose of cellular respiration is to release energy from glucose to make ATP. It occurs in the cytoplasm and mitochondria.
