What organelles are found in plant cells that absorb energy from sunlight and use that energy to drive chemical reactions that produce sugars and oxygen?
Chlorophyll
Which part of adenosine triphosphate molecule is released when it is hydrolized to provide energy for biological reactions?
The -phosphate is the primary phosphate group on the ATP molecule that is hydrolyzed when energy is needed to drive anabolic reactions. Located the farthest from the ribose sugar, it has a higher energy than either the - or -phosphate.
Light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis?
The light-dependent reactions, or light reactions, are the first stage of photosynthesis. In this process light energy is converted into chemical energy, in the form of the energy-carriers ATP and NADPH. In the light-independent reactions, the formed NADPH and ATP drive the reduction of CO2 to more useful organic compounds, such as glucose.
Where does the energy for the light independent reactions of photosynthesis come from?
splitting of water molecules
What is the immediate source of energy that powers a cell's activities?
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) hydrolysis, the reaction releases energy and can be used to drive normally unwilling reactions
What allows cells to produce energy through aerobic metabolism?
The chemical reactions of metabolism are organized into metabolic pathways, in which one chemical is transformed through a series of steps into another chemical, by a sequence of enzymes. Enzymes are crucial to metabolism because they allow organisms to drive desirable reactions that require energy and will not occur by themselves, by coupling them to spontaneous reactions that release energy.
How is energy made available by chemical reactions and describe what happens to usable energy?
When a chemical reaction breaks a bond there is a release of the energy that was used to form the bond. This usable energy drives the motion of the cell, usually in the mitochondria of a cell.
Does ATP provide energy to drive energy absorbing chemical reactions?
Yes.
In the Miller-Urey experiment what was used as energy source to drive chemical reactions?
Electrical discharge
Which two biomolecules provide most of the energy used to drive chemical reactions in cells?
carbohydrates and lipids
What two forms of energy does the horse have as it jumps over the pole?
Kinetic, because it's moving. Chemical, because of the chemical reactions which drive it. Gravitational potential energy as well . . .
Are organelles found in plant cells. They absorb energy from sunlight and use that energy to drive chemical reactions that produce sugars and oxygen.?

How do you convert nuclear energy into chemical energy?
I don't know of any way to do this. Nuclear energy simply provides heat, so could conceivably be used to drive chemical reactions, but I don't think this has ever been done.
Chemical reactions drive all of the activities within what?
a cell
Is Gibbs free energy constant?
In general Gibbs free energy is NOT constant. Gibbs free energy can be translated into chemical potential and differences in chemical potential are what drive changes - whether it be chemical reactions, phase changes, diffusion, osmosis, heat exchange or some other thermodynamic function.
