Question

1. the molecule that stores and transfers energy in cells is called

a) adenosine triphosphate (atp)
b) sclerenchyma
c) nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (nadph)
d) parenchyma

1. photosynthesis first converts ____ energy from the sun into atp (a form of __ energy). then the atp is used to turn co2 into ____, which is used as food for the plant.

a) glucose, chemical, light
b) light, chemical, glucose
c) glucose, light, chemical
d) chemical, glucose, light

1. what is the name of the structure of flattened sacs inside of the chloroplast where the light - dependent reactions take place? (yes...spelling matters)

Explanation:

1. ATP (Adenosine Tri - phosphate) is the molecule that stores and transfers energy in cells. Sclerenchyma and parenchyma are plant tissues, and NADPH is involved in the light - reactions of photosynthesis but not the main energy - storing and transferring molecule.
2. Photosynthesis first converts light energy from the sun into ATP (a form of chemical energy). Then the ATP is used to turn CO2 into glucose, which is used as food for the plant.
3. The flattened sacs inside the chloroplast where the light - dependent reactions take place are called thylakoids.

Answer:

1. A. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
2. B. light, chemical, glucose
3. Thylakoids
