4. 1 Chemical Energy & ATP KEY CONCEPT All cells need chemical energy.

4. 1 Chemical Energy & ATP The chemical energy used for most cell processes is carried by ATP. • Molecules in food store chemical energy in their bonds. Starch molecule Glucose molecule

4. 1 Chemical Energy & ATP • ATP transfers energy from the breakdown of food molecules to cell functions. – Energy is released when a phosphate group is removed. – ADP is changed into ATP when a phosphate group is added. phosphate removed

4. 1 Chemical Energy & ATP Organisms break down carbon-based molecules to produce ATP. • Carbohydrates are the molecules most commonly broken down to make ATP. – not stored in large amounts – up to 36 ATP from one glucose molecule adenosine triphosphate tri=3 adenosine di=2 diphosphate

4. 1 Chemical Energy & ATP • Fats store the most energy. – 80 percent of the energy in your body – about 146 ATP from a triglyceride • Proteins are least likely to be broken down to make ATP. – amino acids not usually needed for energy – about the same amount of energy as a carbohydrate

4. 1 Chemical Energy & ATP A few types of organisms do not need sunlight and photosynthesis as a source of energy. • Some organisms live in places that never get sunlight. • In chemosynthesis, chemical energy is used to build carbon -based molecules. – similar to photosynthesis – uses chemical energy instead of light energy

4. 2 Overview of Photosynthesis KEY CONCEPT The overall process of photosynthesis produces sugars that store chemical energy.

4. 2 Overview of Photosynthesis Photosynthetic organisms are producers. • Producers make their own source of chemical energy. • Plants use photosynthesis and are producers. • Photosynthesis captures energy from sunlight to make sugars.

4. 2 Overview of Photosynthesis in plants occurs in chloroplasts. • Photosynthesis takes place in two parts of chloroplasts. – grana (thylakoids) – stroma grana (thylakoids) chloroplast stroma

4. 2 Overview of Photosynthesis • The light-dependent reactions capture energy from sunlight. – – take place in thylakoids water and sunlight are needed chlorophyll absorbs energy is transferred along thylakoid membrane then to light-independent reactions – oxygen is released

4. 2 Overview of Photosynthesis • The light-independent reactions make sugars. – take place in stroma – needs carbon dioxide from atmosphere – use energy to build a sugar in a cycle of chemical reactions

4. 3 Photosynthesis in Detail KEY CONCEPT Photosynthesis requires a series of chemical reactions.

4. 3 Photosynthesis in Detail The first stage of photosynthesis captures and transfers energy. • The light-dependent reactions include groups of molecules called photosystems.

4. 3 Photosynthesis in Detail • Photosystem II captures and transfers energy. – chlorophyll absorbs energy from sunlight – energized electrons enter electron transport chain – water molecules are split – oxygen is released as waste – hydrogen ions are transported across thylakoid membrane

4. 3 Photosynthesis in Detail • Photosystem I captures energy and produces energycarrying molecules. – chlorophyll absorbs energy from sunlight – energized electrons are used to make NADPH – NADPH is transferred to light-independent reactions

4. 3 Photosynthesis in Detail • The light-dependent reactions produce ATP. – hydrogen ions flow through a channel in the thylakoid membrane – ATP synthase attached to the channel makes ATP

4. 3 Photosynthesis in Detail The second stage of photosynthesis uses energy from the first stage to make sugars. • Light-independent reactions occur in the stroma and use CO 2 molecules.

4. 3 Photosynthesis in Detail • A molecule of glucose is formed as it stores some of the energy captured from sunlight. – carbon dioxide molecules enter the Calvin cycle – energy is added and carbon molecules are rearranged – a high-energy three-carbon molecule leaves the cycle

4. 3 Photosynthesis in Detail • A molecule of glucose is formed as it stores some of the energy captured from sunlight. – two three-carbon molecules bond to form a sugar – remaining molecules stay in the cycle

4. 4 An Overview of Cellular Respiration KEY CONCEPT The overall process of cellular respiration converts sugar into ATP using oxygen.

4. 4 An Overview of Cellular Respiration Cellular respiration makes ATP by breaking down sugars. • Cellular respiration is aerobic, or requires oxygen. • Aerobic stages take place in mitochondria. mitochondrion animal cell

4. 4 An Overview of Cellular Respiration • Glycolysis must take place first. – – anaerobic process (does not require oxygen) takes place in cytoplasm splits glucose into two three-carbon molecules produces two ATP molecules

4. 4 An Overview of Cellular Respiration Cellular respiration is like a mirror image of photosynthesis. • The Krebs cycle transfers energy to an electron transport chain. Krebs Cycle 1 mitochondrion ATP – takes place in matrix (area enclosed and by inner membrane) 6 CO mitochondrial matrix 2 – breaks down three-carbon energy molecules from glycolysis 2 3 – makes a small amount of energy from inner membrane ATP glycolysis ATP and 6 H 2 O 6 O 2 – releases carbon dioxide – transfers energy-carrying 4 molecules

4. 6 Fermentation KEY CONCEPT Fermentation allows the production of a small amount of ATP without oxygen.

4. 6 Fermentation allows glycolysis to continue. • Fermentation allows glycolysis to continue making ATP when oxygen is unavailable. • Fermentation is an anaerobic process. – occurs when oxygen is not available for cellular respiration – does not produce ATP

4. 6 Fermentation • Fermentation allows glycolysis to continue making ATP when oxygen is unavailable. • NAD+ is recycled to glycolysis • Lactic acid fermentation occurs in muscle cells. – glycolysis splits glucose into two pyruvate molecules – pyruvate and NADH enter fermentation – energy from NADH converts pyruvate into lactic acid – NADH is changed back into NAD+

4. 6 Fermentation and its products are important in several ways. • Alcoholic fermentation is similar to lactic acid fermentation. – glycolysis splits glucose and the products enter fermentation – energy from NADH is used to split pyruvate into an alcohol and carbon dioxide – NADH is changed back into NAD+ – NAD+ is recycled to glycolysis
