Energy Transfer

Cellular Level

100

This is the most abundant quick energy resource in cells.

ATP

200

This organelle is the main provider of ATP to a cell.

A mitochondrion

300

This is the main energy storage carbohydrate in animals.

Glycogen

400

This type of molecule stores more energy per gram than carbohydrates, but it is unhealthy to have too much of it.

Lipids.

500

This is the type of reaction that creates ATP at the substrate level.

Phosphorylation

Photosynthesis

100

This is the main source of energy in photosynthesis.

Sunlight

200

This is the main process in the light independent reactions of photosynthesis.

The Calvin Cycle

300

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Glucose and Oxygen

400

These molecules are created by the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis to drive the light independent reactions.

ATP and NADPH.

500

These are the types of light most absorbed by chlorophyll pigments.

Red and Blue light.

Cellular Respiration

100

This is the process which converts one glucose molecule into 2 pyruvate molecules.

Glycolysis

200

What is the molecule that is regenerated during anaerobic respiration to allow more ATP to be produced in the absence of oxygen.

NAD

300

What molecules pass electrons to the electron transport chain in oxidative phosphorylation and where do they end up?

They are transferred by NADH and FADH₂ and end up being accepted by oxygen to make water.

400

This protein complex can be found in the inner membrane of the mitochondrion and converts ADP to ATP by using an H+ gradient.

ATP synthase

500

Which 4-carbon compound is regenerated in the Krebs Cycle to begin the cycle again.

Oxaloacetate
