Photosynthesis, ATP, Respiration

Front

What color is not absorbed by chlorophyll pigments?

Back

Green light is not absorbed by chlorophyll pigments; it is reflected, which is why plants appear green.

Front

What is the primary energy molecule in cells?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the primary energy molecule in cells.

Front

How is energy released from ATP?

Back

Energy is released from ATP when a phosphate group is removed.

Front

What is the equation for Cellular Respiration?

Back

The equation for Cellular Respiration is: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (ATP).

Front

Which molecule is represented by the abbreviation ATP?

Back

ATP stands for Adenosine Triphosphate.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the blue and red wavelengths, to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the process of photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of ATP in cellular processes?

Back

ATP provides the energy needed for various cellular processes, including muscle contraction, nerve impulse propagation, and biosynthesis.

Front

What is the difference between ATP and ADP?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) has three phosphate groups, while ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate) has two phosphate groups.
