Unit 3 Flashcard - Photo, CR, Energy

Front

What is the process by which organisms convert glucose and oxygen into ATP?

Back

Cellular Respiration

Front

What is ATP and its role in cellular processes?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various cellular processes.

Front

How do plants obtain energy from sunlight?

Back

Through the process of photosynthesis, where they convert solar energy into chemical energy.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis provides the glucose and oxygen needed for cellular respiration, while cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide and water, which are used in photosynthesis.

Front

What is the main energy molecule produced during cellular respiration?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)

Front

What is the significance of cilia in paramecium?

Back

Cilia are hair-like structures that help paramecium move and feed, powered by ATP.

Front

What happens to ATP molecules during a chemical reaction that requires energy?

Back

The number of ATP molecules decreases as they are used to provide energy for the reaction.

Front

What is the primary function of photosynthesis in plants?

Back

To convert solar energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.

Front

What are the byproducts of cellular respiration?

Back

Carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is the role of oxygen in cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen is used to help convert glucose into ATP during aerobic respiration.
