ATP

Where is the chemical energy stored in ATP?

In the chemical bonds between the second and third phosphate.

Why is photosynthesis considered endergonic while cellular respiration is considered exergonic.

-An endergonic reaction (such as photosynthesis) is a reaction that requires energy to be driven. Endergonic reactions are nonspontaneous. ... Exergonic-An exergonic reaction (such as cellular respiration) is a reaction that releases free energy in the process of the reaction.

Explain why autotrophs must undergo cellular respiration.

Autotrophs make their own food. ... Many autotrophs make food through the process of photosynthesis, in which light energy from the sun is changed to chemical energy that is stored in glucose. All organisms use cellular respiration to break down glucose, release its energy, and make ATP.

When an animal is running and does not have enough oxygen available for aerobic cellular respiration, what processes will occur in the cell?

Glycolsis

Describe the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration.

Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose. Glucose is used as food by the plant and oxygen is a by-product. Cellular respiration converts oxygen and glucose into water and carbon dioxide. Water and carbon dioxide are by- products and ATP is energy that is transformed from the process.

Describe the roles gases play in photosynthesis and cellular respiration.

Photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make ATP. ... While photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide and releases oxygen, cellular respiration requires oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. It is the released oxygen that is used by us and most other organisms for cellular respiration.

Explain why light energy must be transformed into chemical energy for organisms.

The electromagnetic energy of sunlight is converted to chemical energy in the chlorophyll-containing cells of photosynthetic organisms. ... Sunlight is converted to chemical energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the main energy-storing molecule in living organisms.

Photosynthesis

The process by which autotrophs use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to make glucose

Explain how the waste products of photosynthesis and cellular respiration are essential to the corresponding process.

Through the process of photosynthesis the energy from sunlight is used to change water and carbon-dioxide into glucose with oxygen being tossed out as a waste byproduct. Cellular Respiration begins with a biochemical pathway called GLYCOLYSIS.Fermentation does not produce much energy.

Explain how organisms and the environment cycle matter and energy through these processes.

When organisms use organic matter for cellular respiration, ALL the matter goes back into carbon dioxide, water, and minerals, while ALL the energy leaves the ecosystem as heat (which is ultimately radiated out into space). So matter cycles, energy flows through ecosystems

cellular respiration

is a process that stores energy for later use by the organism.

What does cellular respiration produce?

carbon dioxide, water, and energy

The process of cellular respiration breaks the bonds of food and oxygen molecules to form new compounds that release _____needed for the cell.
