Autotrophs and Heterotrophs – Originally most all energy comes from ________ Plants and some other organisms use the sun’s energy to produce____________. food sun – ________________make their own food. – _________________obtain energy from food they consumer – Some obtain energy as decomposers – There are several forms of energyradiant(light),electrical,chemical,mechanical autotrophs heterotrophs B. Chemical Energy and ATP – – When electrons in bonds are shifted from higher to lower energy levels,_______________is released as heat and light ___________________is one of the principal chemical compounds used to store and release energy The extra energy Adenosine triphosphate The 3 Phosphate groups are the key to ATP’s ability to store and release energy 1) Storing energy • _______________________is a compound that looks a lot like ATP,except it has 2 phosphate groups and this difference is the key to storing energy.When a cell has energy available it can store small amounts by adding a phosphate to ADP,making ATP (think of ATP like a fully charged battery) Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) 2) Releasing Energy • Energy stored in ATP is released by breaking the bond between the 2nd and 3rd phosphates,releasing energy as needed.This can power such things as _______________across the membrane of the cell,protein synthesis and muscle contraction Active transport • ATP is exceptionally useful as the _____________________________. Basic energy source of all cells C.

Nucleic acids Chemical signals @ cell surface • Cells only have a small amount of ATP,to last seconds…..not good for long term storage(1 molecule glucose stores 90 x the chemical energy of ATP ).Cells can regenerate ATP from ADP as needed by the energy in foods like glucose D. Heterotrophs and Autotrophs _____________________________get s food from eating or ingesting othersmay eat autotrophs or other heterotrophs---includes fungi ________________________make their own food/primarily by photosynthesis-which uses light to convert CO2 and H2O into carb’s and O2 • autotrophs heterotrophs II .Photosynthesis:An Overview – Plants use the energy of sunlight to convert water and CO2 into sugars and starches,as well as O2 A. Investigating Photosynthesis – Centuries ago the simple question was did the increase in tree’s mass come from soil,water or air? • • 1) Van Helmont’s Experiment1600’s-Belgian physician did an experiment to see if the soil caused plants to grow,by trying to grow w/o soil….he concluded most of the gain in mass was from water…..this accounts for ½ the products of photosynthesis. 2) Priestly’s Experiment – – Candle w/jar over it-concluded that air enabled it to burn He put a sprig of a plant under the jar and waited a few days,…The candle could burn briefly under the jar…So he concluded the plant ________________________ Produced oxygen 3) Jan Ingenhoutz • —showed the plant produced oxygen only if exposed to light » In conclusion to all 3 experiments,it is concluded that plants exposed to CO2 and light and water,produce O2 and carb’s B. The Photosynthesis Equation light • 6 CO2 + 6 H2O--- C6H12O6 + O2 • Plants use the sugars to produce complex carb’s such as _______ starches C. Light and pigments • • • Photosynthesis also requires light and Chlorophyll (found in Chloroplasts) White light is a mixture of different wavelengths of light---seen as __________ Plants gather the sun’s energy with light absorbing molecules called____________. Color pigments • The principal plant pigment is__________________.-chlorophyll a and b • Chlorophyll absorbs light well in the blue-violet and red regions,but not well in the _______________region,which is reflected by leaves green Chlorophyll • Contain red and orange pigments like _________________,that absorb light in other regions • When chlorophyll absorbs light,much of the energy is transferred directly to electrons in Chlorophyll ,raising _________________________which make photosynthesis work!!! carotenes The energy levels • Chloroplasts contain pigments in membranes called ____________________/a stack= 1 granum ;plural are grana • Fluid portion of chloroplast is called stroma • A large portion of light absorbed by the chloroplast transfers directly to electrons in the chlorophyll molecule itself .By raising energy levels , light can produce steady supply of high energy electrons---the key to photosynthesis Thylakoids • D. High Energy Electrons • The high energy electrons produced by chlorophyll are highly reactive and need a special carrier(think of “hot potato “ analogy ) • Electron carriers= compounds that accept a pair of high energy electrons and transfer them/along w/ most of energy to another molecule Figure 8-5 Chlorophyll Light Absorption Section 8-2 Absorption of Light by Chlorophyll a and Chlorophyll b Chlorophyll b Chlorophyll a V Go to Section: B G YO R III. The Reactions of Photosynthesis • A. Inside a Chloroplast – Photosynthesis takes place in the _____________. – The chloroplasts contain saclike membranes called _________________ which are arranged in stacks known as ________________ chloroplasts THYLAKOIDS grana – Proteins in the Thylakoid membrane organize chlorophyll and other pigments into clusters known as ___________________-These are the light –collecting units of the chloroplast – Light dependent reaction happens in _____________________. photosystems Thylakoid membrane • Light-independent (Calvin-cycle) reaction happens in _____________-region outside thylakoid membranes stroma Figure 8-7 Photosynthesis: An Overview Section 8-3 water CO2 Light Chloroplast Chloroplast NADP+ ADP + P LightDependent Reactions Calvin Cycle ATP NADPH O2 Go to Section: Sugars B. Electron Carriers • When sunlight excites electrons in chlorophyll,the electrons gain a great deal of energy…..They require a carrier---__________________by electron transport chain – ________nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-accepts 2 high energy electrons along w/ a H+,converting it into __________.This is one way some of energy of sunlight is trapped in chemical form Compound that can accept a pair of high energy electrons and transfer w/ most of the energy to another molecule NADP+ NADPH • ______________________-then becomes an electron carrier NADPH C. Light –Dependent Reactions – Require light – Light is used to produce ATP and NADPH Figure 8-10 Light-Dependent Reactions Section 8-3 Photosystem II Hydrogen Ion Movement Chloroplast ATP synthase Inner Thylakoid Space Thylakoid Membrane Stroma Electron Transport Chain Go to Section: Photosystem I ATP Formation – 1-Photosynthesis begins when pigments in photosystem II absorb light.Energy is absorbed by high energy electrons and passed on to electron transport chain.New electrons come from the water (water is required in these reactions to provide source of electrons and H+ ions),and O2 is released into air-as a BYPRODUCT – 2-High –energy electrons move from electron transport chain from photosystem II to photosystem I(simply discovered before photosystemII).Energy from electrons is used by molecules in electron transport chain to transport H+ ions from stroma into the inner thylakoid space. – 3--Pigments in ___________________use energy from light to regenerate electrons.NADP+ picks up high energy electrons,along w/ H+ ions,at outer surface of thylakoid membrane…+ H+ ion=NADPH/Photosystems are clusters of chlorophyll and protein and are essential to light dependent reaction.They absorb light and make high energy electrons that are passed onto high energy electron carriers in thylakoid membrane. Photosystem I • As electrons pass from chlorophyll to NADP+,more________________are pumped along the membrane….Eventually ,the inside of the membrane fills w/ H+ ions……outside of membrane is _______________________charged…The difference in charges (a gradient)produces energy for ATP….This is why H+ ions are so important. 4- H+ ions negatively • 5--H+ ions cannot cross membrane directly…..But, the membrane contains a protein called __________that goes across the membrane and allows H+ ions to pass through it.(produced by gradient)As H+ passes through ,ATP synthase,the protein rotates,binding w/ ADP and a phosphate group to make_________________ So….. light-dependent part makes high energy electrons and also ATP. ATP synthase ATP • Electron transport chain= series of electron carriers proteins that move electrons during reactions fueled by ATP.At end of chain electrons pass to photosystem I • Pigments in photosystem I use energy from light to reenergize electrons/NADP+ NADPH D.
