ENERGY ATP Adenosine triphosphate
All living things need energy to… movement Temperature control growth Active transport
What is the ultimate source of energy? The sun.
Which organism can absorb the sun’s energy directly? plants, algae, cyanobacteria
Plants use the energy in sunlight to make carbohydrates glucose
Carbohydrates contain. . . chemical energy C-H C-C Energy is stored in chemical bonds
Plants make their own food. autotrophs Plants are producers or ________. Bymake what process? ? ? Plants carbohydrates by photosynthesis.
PHOTOSYNTHESIS sun Glucose C 6 H 12 O 6 CO 2 H 2 O O 2
Photosynthesis: 6 CO 2 carbon oxygen dioxide + 6 H 2 O + light energy water C 6 H 12 O 6 + glucose 6 O 2
Which pigment absorbs sunlight? Chlorophyll gives leaves their green color.
In which organelle does photosynthesis take place? chloroplasts Plant cell chloroplast
Leaves cells chloroplasts
STOMATA --- openings on the underside of leaves that allow gases to enter and exit. O 2 CO 2 Photosynthesis
The stomata do not remain open all the time. Guard cells close and open the stomata. Why? Guard cells
The stomata do not remain open all the time. Guard cells close and open the stomata. Why? To decrease transpiration…. H 2 O To decrease the evaporation of water from inside the plant tissues H 2 O
Most plants contain vascular tissue: Xylem: transports water Phloem: transports glucose (food)
Organisms that cannot make their own food heterotrophs are called consumers or ________ Heterotrophs get energy by consuming other organisms Some bacteria Some protists Animals Examples? F U N G I
These organisms are composed of…. macromolecules like…. carbohydrates lipids proteins
Cellular Respiration lipids carbohydrates proteins must be “burned” or broken down to release the stored chemical energy. HOW?
Cellular Respiration GLUCOSE broken down ATP Where in the cell does this occur? occurs in the mighty mitochondria ATP Makes energy for the cell
Cellular Respiration C 6 H 12 O 6 glucose + 6 O 2 oxygen ? 6 CO 2 carbon dioxide + 6 H 2 O + 36 ATP water energy
All living things. . Bacteria, Protists, Fungi, Plants, and Animals. . breakdown glucose for energy. ATP C 6 H 12 O 6 glucose + 6 O 2 oxygen 6 CO 2 carbon dioxide + 6 H 2 O + ATP water energy
chloroplasts Plants make glucose in the _______. glucose
Plants also break down glucose for energy (ATP) in the _______ mitochondria ATP glucose
STOMATA --- openings on the underside of leaves that allow gases to enter and exit. Cellular Respiration CO 2
ATP is the energy molecule. ATP powers the cell. ATP
