Introduction to Cellular Energy and Photosynthesis

Front

What happens to ATP when the cell needs energy?

Back

Breaks the phosphorus bond.

Front

Which organelle performs PHOTOSYNTHESIS?

Back

Chloroplast.

Front

What does the rule of 10% state?

Back

The rule of 10% states that only 10% of energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next in a food chain.

Front

In which way are photosynthesis and cellular respiration different?

Back

Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide, while cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide.

Front

In which part of this molecule are the high energy bonds located?

Back

Between the phosphate groups (phosphoanhydride bonds).

Front

What is the primary function of chloroplasts?

Back

To conduct photosynthesis.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the main product of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose.

Front

What is the role of sunlight in photosynthesis?

Back

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