05.1A Energy & Life (PART A)

Front

What is ATP?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is a molecule that carries energy within cells.

Front

What is the primary function of ATP in cells?

Back

ATP provides energy for cellular processes.

Front

How is energy released from ATP?

Back

Energy is released from ATP by breaking a bond between its phosphate groups.

Front

What is ADP?

Back

ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate) is a molecule that is formed when ATP loses one phosphate group.

Front

What role do producers play in an ecosystem?

Back

Producers use sunlight to make glucose that can be used as a source of energy.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which organisms convert glucose and oxygen into ATP, carbon dioxide, and water.

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 is the relationship between ATP and cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration produces ATP, which is used as energy for cellular activities.

Front

What happens to ATP during energy-requiring processes?

Back

ATP is consumed and converted to ADP and inorganic phosphate.

Front

What is the significance of glucose in energy production?

Back

Glucose is a primary energy source for cellular respiration, leading to ATP production.
