Enzymes
Releases energy Ex:cellular respiration
Exothermic
How many phosphate groups are in ATP?
Three
All energy comes from what?
The sun
Where does photosynthesis take place?
Chloroplast
where does cellular respiration take place?
What is mitochondria?
absorbs energy Ex:photosynthesis
Endothermic
What macromolecules will you body break down first in order to get ATP? First? Second? Last? Never?
Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, never
A carnivore at the topmost level in a food chain that feeds on other carnivores; an animal that feeds only on secondary consumers
Tertiary Consumer
Pancake-like stacks of thylakoid membrane: 1st part
Grana
breakdown of glucose into pyruvate
glycolysis
The amount of energy needed to make a chemical reaction start
Activation Energy
In what process is ATP produced
cellular respiration
Cannot synthesize their own food and rely on other organisms — both plants and animals — for nutrition
Heterotroph
Process of an organism making its own food using chemicals instead of sunlight, like in photosynthesis. This is the process that producers who can not do photosynthesis do to get energy.
Chemosynthesis
which type of respiration is preferred by cells
aerobic respiration
Speed up biochemical reactions by lowering the activation energy
Catalyst
What macromolecules will you body break down first in order to get ATP? First? Second? Last? Never?Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, neverIn the ATP-ADP cycle, what is being recycled over and over again?
ADP
Trophic LevelThe position an organism occupies in a food chainAutotroph/ProducerOrganisms that can produce their own food from the substances available in their surroundings using light (photosynthesis) or chemical energy (chemosynthesis)
Autotroph/Producer
Photosynthesis Formula
6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O2 + 6O2
6 Carbon Dioxide + 6 Water -> 1 Sugar + 6 Oxygen
energy is stored as sugar therefore it is an endothermic reaction
which cycle makes the most ATP
electron transport chain makes 34 ATP
Spot on enzyme that fits only one substrate
Active Site
Explain what happens when the 3rd phosphate is removed from the ATP
Energy is released for the cell to use for different functions and processes
Represents the energy available at each trophies lvl ; levels always get smaller as you go up the Pyramid.
Energy Pyramid
What is the purpose of the light-independent reaction?
Uses the energy from the "energy carrying molecules" from the light dependent reaction to make sugar, or glucose.
type of fermentation that happens in animal cells
lactic acid fermentation
