Biology Review Day 2: Energy Transfer

Front

What bond of the ATP molecule is broken to release energy?

Back

The bond between the second and third phosphate groups.

Front

What are the products of the Light Independent Reactions?

Back

ADP and glucose.

Front

Which gas do plants release during photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen.

Front

What is the overall chemical reaction for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What do plants need to grow from seed?

Back

Water, light, and nutrients.

Front

What is ATP and its role in energy transfer?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

The process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and Light-independent reactions (Calvin Cycle).

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of the light-dependent reactions?

Back

They convert solar energy into chemical energy (ATP and NADPH).
