Unit 5 Flashcard 1 - Cellular Energy

Front

What is the function of ATP in living things?

Back

ATP provides energy for cells.

Front

What structures make up the ATP molecule?

Back

The ATP molecule is made up of structures A, B, C, and D.

Front

How many ATPs does the electron transport chain produce?

Back

The electron transport chain produces 34 ATPs.

Front

What type of energy do plants need from the Sun to carry out photosynthesis?

Back

Plants need light energy from the Sun to make food.

Front

How do cells use the energy provided by ATP?

Back

Cells use ATP energy to carry out active transport.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the blue and red wavelengths.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

The two main stages are the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle).

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

The equation for cellular respiration is C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP.
