What is ATP?

adenosine triphosphate

What is ADP?

adenosine diphosphate

autotrophs

organisms that make their own food (ex: plants, trees, grass, etc…)

heterotrophs

organisms that obtain food by consuming other living things (ex: humans, dogs, cats, etc…)

cellular respiration

a process of converting energy that releases energy from food in the presence of oxygen

what are the 3 stages of cellular respiration?

glycolysis, krebs cycle, and electron transport

whats the chemical equation for cellular respiration

oxygen + glucose —> carbon dioxide + water + energy

whats the chemical equation for cellular respiration (2)

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy

How does photosynthesis differ from CR?

in photosynthesis it takes in carbon dioxide and releases oxygen, gets energy from the sun, and takes place in chloroplasts

How does CR differ from photosynthesis?

in Cr, it takes in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide, gets energy from food, and takes place in the mitochondria
