Autotroph |
They are a group of organisms that make their own food using sunlight |
Heterotroph |
They are a group of organisms that DO NOT make their own food; must consume autotrophs for energy |

How can energy be "stored" using ADP and a phosphate group? |
It can be stored by breaking high energy bonds between the last 2 phosphates- energy that is stored in the bonds is released. |
How is energy released from ATP molecules? |
When water cuts a phosphate off its "spring loaded" as it pops off it releases energy |
What is left over when energy is released from ATP? |
ADP |
What type of carbon based molecules are the source of the most energy in the foods you eat? |
carbohydrates |
Where is the energy stored in the ATP? |
in the bonds that hold phosphates to the rest of the chemical |
Where is the energy stored in these molecules? |
IN chemical bonds |
What is ATP used for in cells? |
energy |
What happens to the ATP molecules when a phosphate group is removed? |
It releases energy and becomes ADP |
Describe the ATP and ADP cycle. |
the ATP releases energy as it loses a P and becomes ADP. The cycle then continues as the P can be added back to ADP (by adding energy) and it becomes ATP again. |
What type of organic compounds store the most energy? the least? |
Fats, Carbohydrates |
HOw do plants produce ATP? |
by sending the carbohydrates they make in the chloroplast to the mitochondria for cellular respiration (turns food into energy) |
