Energy from Food and The Sun Quiz

The Sun

Producers make food using inorganic molecules

ATP provides the energy for cellular activities such as synthesis, muscle movement, and active transport

The mitochondria have both outer and inner membranes, forming two spaces: intermembrane space and matrix

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy

ATP (adenosine triphosphate)

Hetrothrophs obtain food by eating producers or other consumers

ATP provides the energy for the process of cellular respiration

Breaking down large molecules releases energy, which can be used to do work

Energy in food is stored as potential (stored) chemical energy

Sunlight

Provides the energy for muscle contraction

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy

Providing energy for muscle movement through the hydrolysis of ATP to ADP

Providing energy for synthesis reactions through the hydrolysis of ATP to ADP

By breaking down large molecules in food to release energy

Outer membrane and single inner membrane

Food molecules like glucose

Through the conversion of ATP to ADP and recycling of energy

Producing food using inorganic molecules

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy

Obtaining food by eating other consumers or producers

Providing immediate energy for cellular activities through hydrolysis to ADP
