Lab Biology Honors Chapter 4 quiz

what does ATP carry

chemical energy

where is ATP made

in the chloroplasts

what can produce ATP

plants, humans dont have chloroplasts so they must eat plants to get energy

 glyceraldehyde

3 carbon sugar

what happens to the glyceraldehyde

turned into glucose which is eventually turned into starch

how is ATP produced

Organisms break down carbon-based molecules

what is most commonly broken down to make ATP

carbohydrates

what stores the most energy

fats, with 9 calories per mg

what is least likely to be broken down

proteins

why are proteins the least likely to be broken down

Proteins make up all of the important organs, so they don't want to destroy them

how many phosphates does ATP have

3

how many phosphates does ADP have

2

how much ATP can one glucose molecule make

36

what is chemosynthesis

a process that uses chemical energy instead of light energy to produce sugar as an alternative to photosynthesis

why is chemosynthesis needed

some organisms live in places where there isn't sunlight, so photosynthesis wouldn't work

exothermic

breaks bonds

endothermic

puts the bonds together

producers

make their own source of energy

photosynthesis

captures energy from sunlight to make sugars

chlorophyll

a liquid pigment that absorbs light energy

where is chlorophyll found

the thylakoids of the chloroplast

why are plants green

the red and blue light is absorbed and you can no longer see it

grana

stacks of thylakoids

where does photosynthesis take place

grana and stroma

what is the first
