ATP and Photosynthesis: Practice Test

Front

What is the primary function of ATP in living organisms?

Back

ATP provides energy for cells.

Front

What does the 'TP' in ATP stand for?

Back

Tri (3) phosphates.

Front

What are chloroplasts?

Back

Chloroplasts are specialized structures in plants where food is made.

Front

What enzyme is responsible for the synthesis of ATP after H+ ions pass through it?

Back

ATP Synthase.

Front

What roles do NADPH and ATP play in cellular processes?

Back

They are short-term energy carriers.

Front

What is the chemical structure of ATP?

Back

ATP consists of adenine, ribose (a sugar), and three phosphate groups.

Front

How is energy released from ATP?

Back

Energy is released when the bond between the second and third phosphate groups is broken.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and ATP production?

Back

Photosynthesis converts light energy into chemical energy, producing ATP in the process.

Front

What is the role of light in photosynthesis?

Back

Light provides the energy needed to drive the reactions that convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

The light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle).
