Study Notes

Energy and ATP

The primary form of energy currency in cells is ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate).
Chemical energy is stored in the phosphate bonds of the ATP molecule.
When ATP loses a phosphate group, it becomes ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate) and releases energy.

Photosynthesis and Light Energy

When light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll, it excites high-energy electrons.
These high-energy electrons play a crucial role in transferring energy during photosynthesis.
Light energy is utilized to create sugars in autotrophs through the process of photosynthesis.
