Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis: The Energy Cycles of Life
Why ATP is Useful to Cells
ATP can easily release and store energy by breaking and re-forming the bonds between its phosphate groups.
Energy
The ability to do work
ATP Stands for…
Adenosine triphosphate
ATP Consists of…
Adenine, a 5-carbon sugar called ribose, and three
phosphate groups
ADP Stands for
Adenosine diphosphate
Difference Between ATP and ADP
ADP has two phosphate groups, while ATP has three phosphate groups.
(ATP, ADP) Can Contain More Energy
ATP
Cells Release Energy by…
Breaking the bonds between

Wound Healing
Clotting, Scarring, and Re-establishment of Function in Complex Tissues
Four Stages of Wound Healing
HOMEOSTASIS (within minutes)
Stops the loss of blood and sets the stage for repair.
- Spilled blood and the fibrous clot
- Blood vessels become sticky.
- Sticky platelets flow to the area of the wound due to blood vessel damage.
- Platelet: Stem cell population, a piece of a megakaryocyte filled with vesicles for secreting growth factors (regulated secretion: makes a vesicle, but it sits there waiting
- Spilled blood and the fibrous clot

Biological Classification and Evolution
Terms
Phylogeny: Evolutionary history and relationships (e.g., domains)
Phylogenetic Tree/Cladogram: Diagram reconstructing history based on morphology/physical behavior
Heterotrophic: Consumers (cannot produce their own food)
Autotrophic: Producers (can produce their own food – e.g., photosynthesis in plants)
Cephalization: Cluster/concentration of sensory organs (e.g., brain, nerves)
Binomial Nomenclature
Developed by Carl Linnaeus, binomial nomenclature uses genus
