Cells require energy in order to...
change their shape.
make new cell components.
eliminate waste material
reproduce
ATP...
contains three phosphates
contains two phosphates
is like a fully charged battery
is the body's main currency of energy
ADP...
contains 3 phosphates
contains 2 phosphates
is a product of ATP hydrolysis
is like a used battery
The sun is considered the ultimate source of energy for life on Earth because
all organisms carry out photosynthesis
all organisms carry out cellular respiration
either photosynthetic organisms or organisms that have eaten them provide energy for most organisms on earth
the sun heats the Earth's atmosphere
The process of cellular respiration...
is only performed by organisms that are incapable of photosynthesis
breaks down food molecules to release stored energy
occurs only in animals
occurs in BOTH plant and animals
When cells break down food molecules, energy...
is released all at once
is NOT converted into body heat and released
is temporarily stored in ATP molecules
causes excitation of electrons in chlorophyl molecules
