Cell Energy Review

Front

What is ATP?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is a molecule that carries energy within cells.

Front

What happens when a bond in ATP is broken?

Back

When a bond in ATP is broken, energy is released for cellular processes.

Front

What is the primary function of ATP in living organisms?

Back

The primary function of ATP is to provide energy for cellular activities.

Front

What is the difference between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and produces oxygen, while cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide and uses oxygen.

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

Glycolysis is the process of breaking down glucose into pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP.

Front

What are the end products of glycolysis?

Back

The end products of glycolysis are two molecules of pyruvate and a net gain of two ATP molecules.

Front

What is the role of oxygen in cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, allowing for the production of ATP.

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy -> C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What is the chemical equation for cellular respiration?

Back

C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP.

Front

What is ADP?

Back

ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate) is a molecule that can be converted to ATP by adding a phosphate group.
