The series of chemical reactions that living things carry out to break down the foods they consume to get the energy their cells need is known as this.
What is metabolism?
Name 3 characteristics all living organisms share.
What is adapt, develop and grow, maintain, homeostasis, universal genetic code, metabolize, organized as cells, reproduce? (any 3)
When water in a chemical reaction causes bonds to break, it is called this.
What is hydrolysis?
During phosphorylation, this is added to ADP to create ATP
What is a phosphate group?
The meaning of "tri-" in the name of adenosine triphosphate
What is "three" (phosphate groups)?
In phosphorylation, what is the other product besides ATP.
What is water?
The characteristic in which living things maintain steady internal conditions.
What is homeostasis?
When ATP loses one of its phosphate groups during hydrolysis it becomes this.
What is ADP (adenosine diphosphate)?
A hydrolysis reaction is exothermic or endothermic.
What is exothermic?
All living things are made of at least one
What is cell?
The difference between ATP and ADP.
What is ATP has 3 phosphate groups; ADP only has 2 phosphate groups?
In an exergonic reaction, energy is absorbed/released
What is released?
All living things perform these activities.
What are chemical reactions? Examples include: breathe, digest, photosynthesis..
ATP, the energy living things use, is short for this.
What is adenosine triphosphate?
Hydrolysis is endergonic/exergonic
What is exergonic?
