Gifted Study Guide for Test 5: Cell Energy

Terms to Know:

Concepts:

• what molecule traps sunlight?
• how is energy released from ATP?
• equation for photosynthesis
• what ways can the energy found in glucose be released?
• net # of ATPs from cellular respiration
• glycolysis begins with what molecule?
• photosynthesis occurs in what organelle?
• cellular respiration occurs in what organelle?
• what kinds of cells perform photosynthesis?  cell respiration?
• three parts to an ATP molecule? sketch & label
• label parts of a chloroplast
• where do "light-dependent" reactions of photosynthesis take place?
• another name for "light-independent" reactions?
• 2 types of anaerobic fermentation
•         where does each take place?  how many ATPs are formed?  what are the byproducts?
• 2 industrial uses of yeasts (because of alcoholic fermentation)
• name 3 ways we (animals) can get energy during exercise [this is tricky]
• what color is chlorophyll? carotenoids?
• why does it appear green?
• order of 3 main stages of cellular respiration?  location of each?
• compare/contrast amount of energy in ATP to glucose
• chlorophyll vs carotenes
• reactants and products for photosynthesis
• reactants and products for cell respiration
• factors that influence photosynthesis
• equation for cellular respiration
• effect of exercise on cell respiration (and carbon dioxide production)
• study your labs: mealworms- why did we use KOH? which environment slowed down cell respiration?
• spinach- which environment should increase photosynthesis? what was the function of the big beaker of water in between the spinach and the light?
• radishes- what does BTB detect the presence of? why did we use seedlings instead of adult plants, other than size constraints?
