Flashcards

Phosphorylation

The process of adding or removing a phosphate group to a molecule, typically ATP, to release or store energy.

Sun

The ultimate source of energy for all living organisms on Earth. Plants use sunlight to convert it into chemical energy.

Autotrophs

Organisms that can produce their own food through processes like photosynthesis. They make organic molecules from inorganic materials.

Heterotrophs

Organisms that obtain energy by consuming other organisms. They cannot produce their own food.

Study Notes

General Biology 2nd Quarter Exam - Multiple Choice

  • Energy Transfer: The releasing and gaining of phosphate to create energy is a continuous process.
  • Ultimate Energy Source: The ultimate source of energy for all organisms is the Sun.
  • Autotrophs: Organisms that produce their own food are called autotrophs.
  • Autotroph Glucose Production: Autotrophs use NAD+ in producing glucose.
  • Energy Pyramid: The energy pyramid shows that energy decreases as it moves up through the trophic levels.
  • Phospho-anhydride Bonds: Adenosine and three phosphate groups are held together by phospho-anhydride bonds.
  • Hemoglobin Function: Hemoglobin transports oxygen throughout the body.
  • Carotenoids: Carotenoids are insoluble pigments.
  • Energy Content of Carrots (Theoretical): If a carrot contains 1000 Kcal of energy, consuming a carrot translates to approximately 10 Kcal.
  • Endergonic and Exergonic Reactions: Endergonic reactions absorb energy, while exergonic reactions release energy. Phosphate is gained in endergonic reactions and released in exergonic reactions.
  • Law of Conservation of Energy: Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be transformed from one form to another.
