Every organism must be able to obtain energy from its environment Autotrophs: make food from sunlight Examples? Heterotrophs: get food from elsewhere Examples? (Which are you?) Energy molecule used by cells Composed of: Nitrogen Base (Adenosine) Sugar (Ribose) 3 phosphate groups Energy is RELEASED when a phosphate group(P) is REMOVED/BROKEN Energy is stored in the bond between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate group. When P is ADDED back, energy is ADDED/STORED ATP ADP + P + Energy ADP: adenosine diphosphate The P can be reused! Photo: light Synthesis: to put together Process that uses the sun’s energy to make simple sugars (glucose) All energy originates with the sun (Do you know it?) What do plants need? What do plants produce or give off? 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2 Carbon Dioxide + Water Sugar + Oxygen Gas Autotrophs carry out photosynthesis! Organelle where photosynthesis occurs Thylakoids: Storage sacs of chlorophyll Grana: Stack of thylakoids Stroma: Area outside the thylakoids Thylakoid membrane traps the light using pigments: Molecules that absorb specific light wavelengths Chlorophyll absorbs most wavelengths of light except for green Makes plants look green! (Other plant pigments: Xanthophyll: yellow Carotene: orange) 2 phases Light-dependent reactions Convert light energy into chemical energy ATP produced is used to fuel the light-independent reactions Light-independent reactions Produces simple sugars So, photosynthesis Requires Sunlight, Chlorophyll (to gather the suns energy) and Water Happens in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplasts. Sunlight and water goes in Oxygen, ATP and NADPH comes out ATP: Cellular Energy NADPH: Energy needed in the Light Independent Reactions to remove a P group from ATP. Does not require sunlight Occurs in the stroma of the chloroplast CO2, ATP and NADPH goes in Glucose (C6H12O6), ADP + P, and NADP+ comes out NADP+ Energy needed in the light reactions to bond a P+ group to ADP (Used to be called dark reactions, but that is misleading.) Where does the plant get… sunlight? water? carbon dioxide (CO2)? Light Dependent Light Independent Oxygen (O2) Sugar (glucose) ATP ADP + P Occurs in ALL living organisms Process in which mitochondria break down sugar to produce ATP C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy Photosynthesis reversed! 1. Glycolysis: in cytoplasm This step is anaerobic (no oxygen needed) 2. Citric Acid Cycle (Kreb’s Cycle): in mitochondria 3. Electron Transport Chain: inner membrane of mitochondria Needs 2 ATP to start Produces 4 ATP Breaks glucose into ATP and pyruvate Produces 2 ATP and CO2 Breaks down a molecule of pyruvate Produces 32 ATP (sometimes 34) Occurs in the inner membrane of the mitochondria (cristae) Energized electrons release energy as they pass from one protein to another Cellular respiration makes a total of: 36-38 ATP If oxygen is not present ATP can still be made in small amounts using this anaerobic process. Many foods are made this way. 2 Types of fermentation Lactic Acid Alcoholic Produces lactic acid and only 2 ATP Occurs when the body is under stress and not getting enough oxygen Used by yeast cells and some bacteria to produce: CO2 Ethyl alcohol This process is used to make bread and wine Photosynthesis Food synthesized Energy from sun stored as glucose Carbon Dioxide taken in Oxygen given off Produces sugar Requires light Occurs only in the Chloroplast Cellular Respiration Food broken down Energy of glucose released Carbon dioxide given off Oxygen taken in Produces CO2 & H2O Does not require light Occurs in all living cells
