The sum total of all cell processes is...: METABOLISM
The process of building up molecules in the cell (photosynthesis) is...: Anabolism
The process of breaking down molecules in the cell (respiration) is...: Catabolism
Organisms that synthesize their own food from inorganic substances is...: AUTOTROPHS
Organisms that do not synthesize their own food, but depend of autotrophs for food is...: Hetrotrophs
The process by which sunlight is converted into chemical energy is ...: Photosynthesis
The process by which chemical energy is released and used by the cell is...: Respiration
Photosynthesis' equation is...: 6 CO2 + 6 H2O ---> C6 H12 O6 + 6 O2
Respirations equation is...: C6 H12 O6 + 6 O2 --> 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + energy
What occurs only in teh presence of oxygen, O2 bonds with H to make a useful product: Aerobic respiration
What occurs only in the absence of oxygen, pyruvic acid bonds with H?: Anaerobic respiration
In animals = to cramps: Lactic acid fermentation
In plants: Alcoholic fermentation
Once a fuel is burned the energy gets to the other organelles by the following process. Adenine + ribose -> adenosine Adenosine +phosphate -> adenosine monophosphate (amp) AMP + phosphat -> adenosine diphosphate ADP + pho: Energy Transfer
What is the Energy transfer process?: Adenine + ribose -> adenosine
Adenosine +phosphate -> adenosine monophosphate (amp)
AMP + phosphat -> adenosine diphosphate
ADP + phosphate -> adenoside
the unicersal energy carrying molecule produced in all cells is...: ATP- Adenoside triphosphate
What breaks down H2O molecules?: Light reaction
What breaks down CO2 molecules?: Dark reaction
What is the actication energy that starts the process of photosynthesis?: Light
What is the enzyme that controls the rate of photosynthesis?: Chlorophyll
