Question

1. what is atp? 2) why does the cell need atp? 3) how does the cell make energy? 4) what will happen if the cell does not get energy? 5) write the cellular respiration equation. 6) write the photosynthesis equations. 7) compare and contrast the 2 equations.

Explanation:

ATP (adenosine tri - phosphate) is a molecule that stores and transfers energy within cells. Cells need ATP for various processes like active transport, muscle contraction, and biosynthesis. If a cell doesn't get energy (ATP), it can't perform essential functions and may die. The cellular respiration equation is $C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2
ightarrow6CO_2+6H_2O + \text{energy (ATP)}$. The photosynthesis equations are $6CO_2 + 6H_2O+ \text{light energy}
ightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2$. Photosynthesis builds glucose and releases oxygen using light energy, while cellular respiration breaks down glucose to release energy in the form of ATP and releases carbon - dioxide.

Answer:

1. ATP (adenosine tri - phosphate) is a molecule that stores and transfers energy within cells.
2. Cells need ATP for processes like active transport, muscle contraction, and biosynthesis.
3. If a cell doesn't get energy (ATP), it can't perform essential functions and may die.
4. The cellular respiration equation is $C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2

ightarrow6CO_2+6H_2O + \text{energy (ATP)}$.

1. The photosynthesis equation is $6CO_2 + 6H_2O+ \text{light energy}

ightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2$.
