Unit 2 - Cells Flashcards
anaerobic respiration
produces ATP without oxygen
Fermentation
How cells get energy in the absence of oxygen
aerobic respiration
produces ATP when oxygen is present
How is energy stored in ADP?
A bond is made between phosphates which forms the molecule ATP
How is energy released from ATP?
Bonds between the phosphates are broken.
ADP
When ATP removes a phosphate by breaking a bond, what new molecule is formed ?
ATP
Which energy molecule (ATP or ADP) has more energy?
What are the reactants of photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide + Water + Sunlight
What are the products of photosynthesis?
Glucose + Oxygen
In which organisms does photosynthesis occur?
Plants & other producers
In which organisms does cellular respiration occur?
All organisms
Which type of respiration, aerobic or anaerobic, produces more energy?
aerobic respiration
Where in the cell does cellular respiration occur?
Mitochondria
Where in the cell does photosynthesis occur?
Chloroplast
Photosynthesis
A process that producers (autotrophs) perform to make food using light.
What factors affect the rate of cellular respiration?
Amounts of glucose and oxygen
What factors affect the rate of photosynthesis?
Amounts of water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide
What is the ultimate source of energy?
The sun
What pigment absorbs sunlight within the chloroplast? (It gives plants that green color!)
Chlorophyll
Where does glycolysis occur?
Cytoplasm
What are the reactants of cellular respiration?
Glucose + Oxygen
What are the products of cellular respiration?
Carbon dioxide + Water + ATP
organelle
tiny structure that performs a specialized function (or job) in the cell
nucleus
Holds & protects the genetic information of the cell.
