Biology Chemical Energy 4.1

what does the number of ATP molecules produced depend on?

It depends on the type of molecule that is broken down

Do all organisms need sunlight

No

Do carbohydrates produce the largest amount of ATP?

No

what are the types of light energy?

the break down of foods to make ATP energy and photosynthesis

does the food you eat contain ATP?

None that your cells can use

describe the relationship between the energy stored in food and ATP

1. energy is stored in sugars 2. cells break down sugars to produce usable chemical energy for their functions 3. the chemical energy used for most cell processes is carried by ATP 4. ATP releases energy when it looses a phosphate molecule

How are ATP and ADP related

ADP is an energy molecule that can be converted in ATP

How does ATP work?

ATP is a molecule that transfers energy from the break down of food molecules to cell processes. The energy carried by ATP is released when a phosphate group is removed from the molecule.

what is ATP?

Adenosine Triphosphate, high-energy molecule that contains, within its bonds, energy that cells can use

what is ADP

Adenosine diphosphate, low-energy molecule that can be converted to ATP.

Are carbohydrates stored in large amounts in your body?

No, but they are the molecules most commonly broken down to make ATP

Do plant cells need ATP?

Yes, but they do not eat like animals, they create their own food

what type of foods when broken down make ATP?

carbon based molecules such as carbohydrates, lipids and proteins

where do some organelles produce chemosynthesis?

in the deep ocean in cracks in the ocean floor called what hydrothermal vents

how do lipids and carbohydrates differ in ATP production?

lipids store the most energy, and when fats are broken down they produce the most ATP

chemosynthesis

process by which ATP is synthesized by using chemicals as an energy source instead of light
