Cell Energy Test

Front

What is the chemical energy in the cell called?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the primary energy carrier in cells.

Front

Which process adds oxygen to the atmosphere?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy, releasing oxygen as a byproduct.

Front

What is the purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

The purpose of cellular respiration is to convert glucose into usable energy (ATP) for the cell.

Front

What organisms use cellular respiration to get energy?

Back

Both plants and animals use cellular respiration to obtain energy.

Front

Where is ATP created in the cell?

Back

ATP is created in the mitochondria, often referred to as the powerhouse of the cell.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What is the role of mitochondria in cells?

Back

Mitochondria are responsible for producing ATP through cellular respiration.

Front

What is the difference between autotrophs and heterotrophs?

Back

Autotrophs produce their own food (e.g., plants), while heterotrophs consume other organisms for energy (e.g., animals).

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

The equation for cellular respiration is: Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy (ATP).

Front

What is the byproduct of cellular respiration?

Back

The byproducts of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide and water.
