EBIO 1210 EXAM 2 QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT ANSWERS
Where does energy go in an ecosystem? -- Answer ✔✔ Heat, growth, reproduction,
etc. as energy flows up trophic levels
ATP -- Answer ✔✔ a nucleotide, (adenosine triphosphate)
Creation of ATP -- Answer ✔✔ A = adenine
A + Ribose = adenosine
adenosine mono-phosphate (AMP)
adenosine di-phosphate (ADP)
adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP)
How does ATP get energy? -- Answer ✔✔ ATP takes the energy released from the
breakdown of energy-rich food molecules and does cellular work
Phosphorylated -- Answer ✔✔ (=energized!) molecule
How do motor proteins do mechanical work? -- Answer ✔✔ High-energy P is
transferred to the protein
To stay alive, living cell performs 3 kinds of work that require energy: -- Answer ✔✔ 1.
Mechanical work
2. Transport work
3. Chemical work

Mechanical work

  1. Transport work
  2. Chemical work Atp & storage -- Answer ✔✔ ATP is too unstable to serve as an actual

storage form of energy Hydrogen ion = -- Answer ✔✔ proton Adenosine Triphosphate -- Answer ✔✔ a.k.a ATP After ATP loses one phosphate as a result from hydrolysis it becomes what and results in what? -- Answer ✔✔ Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) This reaction releases energy that can be used by the cell Pi -- Answer ✔✔ Inorganic phosphate ion Carbohydrates molecular structure -- Answer ✔✔ Built from simple sugars i.e. H - C - OH (CH2O)n

  • they exist as rings in the cell hexose -- Answer ✔✔ sugars (with 6 C) like glucose, fructose, and galactose. Cellular respiration -- Answer ✔✔ O2 + Sugar -----> H2O + Energy + CO Sugars are "burned" for energy gain with oxygen in cellular respiration Photosynthesis -- Answer ✔✔ uses solar energy to make sugars: O2 + Sugar <----- H2O + Energy + CO H shuttle respiration -- Answer ✔✔ H is coming from CHOH to combine with O2 to make H2O H shuttle photosynthesis -- Answer ✔✔ H is coming from the H2O to create the H in the plant's CHOH (sugar) Sucrose -- Answer ✔✔ Glucose + Fructose we use it as table sugar

low entropy system -- Answer ✔✔ less random, more ordered high entropy system -- Answer ✔✔ more random, less ordered potential energy -- Answer ✔✔ stored in chemical bonds (C-H especially)
