Living things run on
batteries.
What is the battery?
We recharge ATP
from sugar (glucose)
…where does sugar
come from?
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)
Molecule that provides life’s energy.
– Works by popping of a phosphate group,
releasing stored energy
– 3 parts:
Adenine
Ribose
3 Phosphate groups

Comparison of
Mitochondria and
Chloroplasts
Both have a large amount of internal membrane
surface area.
Both have their own ribosomes.
Both have their own genomes.
Both produce a large amount of ATP.
Both derive energy for ATP synthesis from H+
pumps.
The mitochondrial genome (in
humans) is about 16,000
nucleotides long.
The chloroplast genome is about
10x the size of the mitochondrial
genome.

ENERGY ABSORPTION ON AN ATOMIC LEVEL
Chlorophyll, a green pigment molecule, allows plants to absorb light energy. A
pigment molecule obtains energy only at certain frequencies of light.
Energy insufficient to reach an excited state is not absorbed (click 1). Similarly,
energy that drives an electron past one energy level but is insufficient to reach a
second is not absorbed (click 1). To be absorbed, the energy must be sufficient to
reach only allowable energy states (click 1). This simple rule of quantum physics is
all you need to know to understand an absorption spectra of chlorophyll (click 1).
