Unit 5 Cellular Energy Flashcard

Front

What is the high energy bond in ATP?

Back

The high energy bond in ATP is the bond between the second and third phosphate groups.

Front

What molecule is represented by #5 in the context of photosynthesis?

Back

Water (H2O)

Front

In which stage of photosynthesis are ATP and NADPH produced?

Back

Light dependent reactions.

Front

What molecule is represented by #1 in the context of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose (C6H12O6)

Front

Where does the original source of energy for photosynthesis come from?

Back

Sunlight.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

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 sunlight and converts it into chemical energy.

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What is ATP and why is it important?

Back

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