ATP Cycle/Photosynthesis/Cell Resp. Test Review

Front

What is ATP?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the primary energy carrier in cells, composed of adenine, ribose, and three phosphate groups.

Front

What happens when a phosphate bond in ATP is broken?

Back

When a phosphate bond in ATP is broken, energy is released, converting ATP into ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate).

Front

What is the process of converting ADP back to ATP called?

Back

The process of converting ADP back to ATP is called phosphorylation.

Front

What are the three main components required for photosynthesis?

Back

The three main components required for photosynthesis are carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and sunlight.

Front

What is the role of sunlight in photosynthesis?

Back

Sunlight provides the energy needed for plants to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

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 photosynthesis?

Back

The equation for photosynthesis is: 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What is the significance of the ATP cycle?

Back

The ATP cycle is crucial for energy transfer in cells, allowing for the continuous regeneration of ATP from ADP and phosphate.

Front

How much ATP does a single cell use per second?

Back

A single cell uses approximately 10 million ATP molecules per second.

Front

What is hydrolysis in the context of ATP?

Back

Hydrolysis is the chemical process that breaks down ATP into ADP and inorganic phosphate, releasing energy.
