ATP
What does ATP stand for?
adenosine triphosphate
What does "aerobic" mean?
It requires oxygen.
Is fermentation an aerobic or anaerobic process?
What are producers?
Hint: Plants are producers.
-organisms that make their own chemical energy
Which comes first: photosystem I or photosystem II?
-photosystem II
What type of carbon-based molecule provides the most energy?
lipids!
The aerobic stages of cellular respiration take place in what part of the cell?
the mitochondria
Does fermentation produce ATPs?
-No!
What is the pigment molecule found in chloroplasts that captures sunlight?
-chlorophyll
What are the two reactions of photosynthesis?
-light-dependent reactions
-light-independent reactions
What is ATP synthase?
-It's an enzyme that converts ADP into ATP.
-makes ATP
What are the three steps of cellular respiration?
-glycolysis
-Krebs cycle
-electron transport chain
Where does fermentation take place?
-in the cytoplasm of the cell
Where do the light-dependent reactions take place?
-grana (thylakoids)
Where do the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis take place?
-stroma
How many ATP molecules are produced during the Krebs cycle?
-2 ATP
Where does glycolysis take place?
-in the cytoplasm of the cell
What are the two types of fermentation?
-alcoholic fermentation
Name four factors that affect plant growth.
levels of
-sunlight
-water
-nutrients in the soil
-pH
-temperature

Describe the relationship between food and ATP.
-Food molecules store energy in their bonds.
-Food is broken down into smaller molecules that are broken down further to produce ATP.
How many molecules of ATP are produced during cellular respiration?
-the total number of ATP
-38 ATP
-List five fermented foods.
-yogurt
-cheese
-bread
-kimchi
-miso
-kombucha
-beer
-wine
-etc.
What are the reactants and products of photosynthesis?
reactants: carbon dioxide, water
products: glucose, oxygen
Why do plant leaves change color in the fall?
-Chlorophyll levels drop in the fall, revealing other pigments.
-This allows the yellow, orange and red colors to become more visible.
