Chapter 8.1 Photosynthesis

Question 1

Autotroph

Answer 1

An organism that creates its own energy. Ex. Plant

Question 2

Heterotroph

Answer 2

Organism that eats other organisms to get energy. Ex. Anteater

Question 3

Photosynthesis

Answer 3

Process that plants use to capture sunlight and use it to convert Water and Carbon-dioxide into sugar, and oxygen.

Question 4

ADP

Answer 4

Adenosine Diphosphate

The ATP molecule with only two phosphate bonds

Question 5

ATP

Answer 5

Adenosine Triphosphate

ATP is the basic source of energy for a cell. Composed of 3 phosphate bonds that when broken release energy.

Question 6

What is different between ATP and ADP

Answer 6

ATP is the main source of energy, and has 3 phosphate bonds

ADP is just a “discharged” ATP, with only 2 phosphate bonds

Question 7

5 activities that require ATP

Answer 7

Active Transport
Provides energy for motor proteins 
Powers cilia and flagella
Protein synthesis
Responses to chemical signals on cell surface

Question 8

What are the 3 parts of ATP

Answer 8

Adenine, Ribose, Phosphate

Question 9

What is the function of ATP

Answer 9

To provide energy to the cell

Question 10

Photosynthesis Equation

Answer 10

6CO2+6H2O -> C6H12O6 + 6O2

Question 11

What are the Photosynthesis Reactants

Answer 11

Carbon-dioxide, water, and energy
