|
Where do autotrophs get energy to produce food?
|
The Sun
|
|
|
How do living things use ATIP?
|
They use ATP for storing energy
|
|
|
How is one molecule of ATP formed from one molecule of ADP?
|
Add one more phosphate molecule to form ATP
|
|
|
HOw does a change from ATOP to ADP provide an organism with energy?:
|
Energy is released when ATP is changed to ADP
|
|
|
What are two ways in which cells use the eneryg provided by ATp?
|
Active Transport and movement inside the cell.
|
|
|
What type of organisms gather energy from the sun? What are they called?
|
Plants and some other types of organisms are able to use light energy from the sun to produce food.
Autotrophs |
|
|
What type of organism gather energy from other sources than the sun? What are they called?
|
Other organisms, such as animals, cannot use the sun’s energy directly. They obtain energy from the foods they consume
Heterotrophs |
|
|
What is ATP? What does it stand for?
|
adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
one of the principal chemical compounds that living things use to store energy. ATP is used by all types of cells as their basic energy source. It is used for active transport (inside and out the cell) and movement in the cell. Cells can regenerate ATP from ADP as needed by using the energy in carbohydrates like glucose. |
|
|
What is photosynthesis?
|
photosynthesis
process by which plants and some other organisms use light energy to power chemical reactions that convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and high-energy carbohydrates such as sugars and starches |
|
|
What did van Helmont discover?
|
Water is vital to the survival.
