Cellular Respiration
THE BASICS OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS
• Almost all plants are photosynthetic autotrophs, as
are some bacteria and protists
– Autotrophs generate their own organic matter through
photosynthesis
– Sunlight energy is transformed to energy stored in the
form of chemical bonds

ATP for energy
ATP powers cellular work- made in photosynthesis
amd cellular respiration
 A cell does three main kinds of work:
 Mechanical work, beating of cilia, contraction of
muscle cells, and movement of
chromosomes(produces heat)
 Transport work, pumping substances across
membranes against the direction of spontaneous
movement
 Chemical work, driving endergonic reactions such
as the synthesis of polymers from monomers

FORMING A BOND TAKES ENERGY!!
How Does ATP Work?






So what?
Energy is stored in these bonds.
So?
The breaking of the chemical bond releases the
energy
ATP + H2O→ ADP + P + ENERGY
ATP is made in photosynthesis and
respiration!!!
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is a a molecule that
carries energy that cells can use.
How Does ATP Work?


The bonds between phosphate groups can be
broken by hydrolysis which produces
energy!!!
ATP has 3 phosphate groups The bond to the
third bond is easily broken. When the third
bond is broken, energy is released. Becomes
ADP – no energy!!

High Energy Electrons and Molecules
Once the sun’s energy has been trapped and
excited an electron, what happens to it?
Electron Carrier: a molecule that picks up the
electron and uses this energy to break
apart bonds.
Examples of electron carriers: NADP and ATP
NADP captures two electrons of H and
becomes NADPH.
ADP becomes ATP!!!



1. Write the equation for photosynthesis.
2. Why are plants leaves green?
Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis uses the energy of the sunlight to
convert water and carbon dioxide(reactants)
into high-energy sugars and oxygen(products)
Photosynthesis occurs in the parts of the chlorplasts.
There are three parts involved.
Light Energy Harvested by Plants &
Other Photosynthetic Autotrophs
6 CO2 + 6 H2O + light energy → C6H12O6
+ 6 O2
THE SUN: WHY IS IT
IMPORTANT?
Source of light energy
Source of heat energy
Gravitational attraction
Source of radiation
Day and night
Source of all energy(electricity)
Source of food for all organisms!!!!
SUN’S SPECTRUM
Pigment and Light
Energy from the Sun travels to the Earth as light.
We see sunlight as “white light” which is really different
wavelengths(ROYGBIV).
Plant gather the Sun’s energy with light-absorbing
molecules called PIGMENTS.
Pigments: photosynthetic organisms capture energy
using pigments.
Chlorophyll: pigments plants use to absorb light energy.
Plant have different pigments.
WHY ARE PLANTS GREEN?
Plant Cells
have Green
Chloroplasts
The thylakoid
membrane of the
chloroplast is
impregnated with
photosynthetic
pigments (i.e.,
chlorophylls,
carotenoids).
THE COLOR OF LIGHT SEEN IS THE
COLOR NOT ABSORBED


Chloroplasts
absorb light energy
and convert it to
chemical energy.
They absorb the
reds and blue.
Reflects the green.
That is why they
look green.

Different pigments absorb light
differently
Different Pigments
– Chlorophyll a – green pigments in plants and
bacteria
– Chlorophyll b in green algae
– Carotenoids – orange, red, yellow when
chloroplast die in plants. Chlorophyll breaks
down first in the fall so we see these colors.
– Xanthophyll – yellow pigments in lemons, corn,
diatoms(protists)
Figure 7.7
Why are Chloroplast Important?
The chloroplasts absorb the Sun’s energy and
use this energy to excite electrons which powers
photosynthesis. To break apart water and carbon
Dioxide, you must have energy!!!!


Sketch a chloroplast and label the parts.
Parts of the Chloroplasts
Thylakoids: flat compartments in the chloroplast that
contain chlorophyll. LIGHT DEPEDENT REACTION
occurs here.
Grana: are stacks of thylakoids.
Stroma: fluid that is all around the grana inside
the chorplast. LIGHT INDEPENDENT REACTION
occurs here.

Electron transport chains and
photosystems

Photosystems: cluster of chlorophyll and
proteins absorb the sun’s energy and generate the
high
energy electrons that are passed to the
electron carrier molecules.


Step 1 – Light Dependent Reaction
The light reactions convert solar energy to
chemical energy. Takes place in thylakoids.
Photosystem II and electron transport
1. chlorophyll absorbs the sun’s energy.
2. Energy as electrons is moved along the
membrane(electron transport chain)
3. Water is split into H and O. O released as waste
through stoma.
4. H is pumped over and over again in the
membrane until they build up.
Plants produce O2 gas by splitting H2O

The O2 liberated by photosynthesis is made from
the oxygen in water (H+ and e-)
Electron Transport Chain
When the electrons are excited from the light reaction,
they are passed along the membrane through the
protein pumps. They passed from Photosystem II to
photosystem I.

Photosynthesis
Photosystem I
1.1. Electrons from photosytem II are moved
along the membrane to photosystem I.
2.2. Chlorophyll continues to absorb sunlight
and free electrons.
3.3. Electrons are added to NADPH which is
the energy carrier for the rest of
photosynthesis.

WHY is sunlight so important to a plant’s
ability to make sugar?
There are organisms that can make their
own sugars miles deep inside of the
ocean. How do you think these organisms
do that without ANY sunlight?
You may use your phone to look it up if you
have it with you!

AN OVERVIEW OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS
• Step 2 – Light Independent Reaction – CALVIN
CYCLE Occurs in the stroma.
• The Calvin cycle makes sugar from carbon dioxide
1.ATP generated by the light reactions provides
the energy for sugar synthesis
2.The NADPH produced by the light reactions
provides the electrons for the reduction of
carbon dioxide to glucose. Carbon Dioxide is
used to make a 6 carbon sugar called glucose.
– END GOAL – to break carbon dioxide down and
combine into glucose!!! Need energy to do
this!! That is why ATP and NADPH was made!!
Light Independent Reaction Overview
1. 6 Carbon dioxide added:Carbon Dioxide enters the plant
from the atmosphere. Each CO2 bonds with a 5-carbon sugar.
2. 12 Three-carbon molecules formed: ATP and NADPH
use enzymes in the stroma to split the six carbon into
3 carbon sugars.
3. 2 Three-carbon sugars removed to make a glucose:
The other 3 carbon molecules (10) stay in cycle.
When 2 leave, they form glucose.
4. Three-carbon molecules recycled: Energy from ATP
Change 3carbon molecules back into 5 carbon to start the
cycle over again.
*Energy provided by Light dependent reaction.
The plants uses the carbohydrates to meet its energy needs
to make all of the macromolecules that it needs(proteins, lipi
Overview Calvin Cycle
In put: ATP, NADPH, and Carbon dioxide
Output: GLUCOSE!!
The end goal – Make glucose from the SUN!!
Harvesting Chemical Energy
Energy enters food chains (via autotrophs)
we can look at how organisms use that
energy to fuel their bodies.
 Plants and animals both use products of
photosynthesis (glucose) for metabolic fuel
 Heterotrophs: must take in energy from
outside sources, cannot make their own

Cellular Respiration
RELEASES CHEMICAL ENERGY FROM
SUGARS AND OTHER CARBONBASED MOLECULES TO MAKE ATP
WHEN OXYGEN IS PRESENT!!!!
NO OXYGEN – FERMENTATION!!!!
The Purpose of Cellular Respiration
It is to make and break bonds to generate ATP and
electrons.
You end up with ATP, H ions and electrons.
The electrons are sent to the Electron Transport Chain
where they help to make ATP through ATP synthase.
****Hydrogen ions are bonded with oxygen to make
water which is used in photosynthesis.
HOW DO WE MAKE ATP?
Just like in photosynthesis. ATP is made
by pumping H across ATP synthase to
attach a P onto ADP. This is the goal of
cellular respiration.
Relationship between Photosynthesis and Cellular
Respiration
The products on one are used for the other to
produce ATP from the Sun!
Creates the Carbon- Oxygen Cycle!!!

ATP
Required to make plant cell walls. It is made
of 100s of glucose molecules bonded
together.
Glucose is chemically converted to fatty acids and
glycerol to make lipids, which are needed to make
plant cell membranes and seed storage oils.
STARCH
Is used by roots and leaves to store excess
glucose in an osmotically inactive form. It is
made of 100s of glucose molecules.
PROTEINS
Using nitrate ions absorbed by plant roots,
glucose is converted first to amino acids
then to protein.
CARBON

WATER
The carbon dioxide can be used again in
photosynthesis or may diffuse out of the
leaf via the stomata
Anaerobic Cellular
Respiration

Some organisms thrive in environments with little or no
oxygen




Marshes, bogs, gut of animals, sewage treatment ponds
No oxygen used= ‘an’aerobic
Results in no more ATP, final steps in these pathways
serve ONLY to regenerate NAD+ so it can return to pick
up more electrons and hydrogens in glycolysis.
End products such as ethanol and CO2 (single cell fungi
(yeast) in beer/bread) or lactic acid (muscle cells)
Two Types of Fermentation




some bacteria
Used in producing alcohol
(both consumable and for
ethanol), and for baking



Lactic Acid Fermentation
Pyruvate converted to
lactic acid
Carried out by muscles
when working hard
(muscles need ATP but
can’t get O2 )
Causes muscle soreness
and cramps
Alcohol Fermentation

Pyruvate
C6H12O6 → 2 C2H5OH + 2CO2 + 2 ATP
quation
Sugar (glucose) → Alcohol (ethanol) + Carbon Dioxide + Energy (ATP)
Alcoholic Fermentation
(Ethyl Alcohol
or Ethanol)
C6H12O6
2 C2H5OH + 2 CO2
As a result of Alcoholic
Fermentation,
Glucose is converted into 2
molecules of Ethyl Alcohol and 2
