Photosynthesis & Respiration Cell Energy (Photosynthesis and Respiration) Energy: •Energy for living things comes from food. Originally, the energy in food comes from the sun. • Organisms that use light energy from the sun to produce food—autotrophs (auto = self) Ex: plants and some microorganisms (some bacteria and protists) • Organisms that CANNOT use the sun’s energy to make food—heterotrophs - must eat their food Ex: animals and most microorganisms Cell Energy: •Cells usable source of energy is called ATP •ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate Adenine Ribose 3 Phosphate groups • ADP stands for adenosine diphosphate Adenine Ribose 2 Phosphate groups • All energy is stored in the bonds of compounds— breaking the bond releases the energy • When the cell has energy available it can store this energy by adding a phosphate group to ADP, producing ATP • ATP is converted into ADP by breaking the bond between the second and third phosphate groups and releasing energy for cellular processes. Importance of ATP! 1. ALL organisms release ATP from the break down of glucose during cellular respiration 2. ATP powers the activities of the cell and allows living things to do work 3. ATP/ADP is a cycle that releases/stores energy for cell processes 4. ATP is used to actively transport material across the cell membrane Photosynthesis •Photosynthesis is the process by which the energy of sunlight is converted into the chemical energy of glucose • Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plants • Light absorbing compound is a pigment • pigments absorb some wavelengths of light and reflect others • the color our eyes see is the color that the pigment reflects • Chlorophyll is the pigment inside the chloroplast the absorbs light for photosynthesis As the chlorophyll in leaves decays in the autumn, the green color fades and is replaced by the oranges and reds of carotenoids. •General formula for photosynthesis : sunlight carbon dioxide + water —> glucose + oxygen sunlight 6CO2 + 6H2O —> C6H12O6 + 6O2 Light Reaction Takes place in the thylakoid membrane • (contains chlorophyll) Reactants needed for the light reaction: • Water, Light, ADP, NADP+ Products made from light reaction and USED in dark reaction: • ATP energy to make sugar • NADPH supplies e- and H to make C6H12O6 Oxygen is released into the air Dark Reaction (Calvin Cycle) Takes place in the stroma Reactants needed for the dark reaction: • CO2, ATP, NADPH Products made from the dark reaction USED in light reaction are: • ADP returns to the light reaction to make more ATP • NADP returns to the light reaction to pick up more electrons and Hydrogens Glucose is made in the dark reaction for use throughout the organism. Summary: Light Reaction • H2O is broken down and light energy is stored temporarily in ATP and NADPH. • Oxygen released. Calvin Cycle (Dark Reaction) • energy is transferred from ATP and NADPH to the organic compound glucose Location Reactants Light Reaction Thylakoid H2O Light ADP and NADP from dark reaction Dark Reaction – Calvin Cycle CO2 Stroma Products Release ATP – energy to make sugar NADPH – electrons and Hydrogen to make glucose O2 to the air ADP and NADP back to light reaction ATP and NADPH from light reaction GLUCOSE Reactants •Diagram Light H2O CO2 NADP ADP + P Light Dependent Reaction Chloroplast O2 Calvin Cycle ATP NADPH Products C6H12O6 Glucose Cellular Respiration •Process where energy of glucose is released in the cell to be used for life processes (movement, breathing, blood circulation, etc…) • Respiration occurs in ALL cells • Takes place in the mitochondria • Can take place either with or without oxygen present. Aerobic Respiration • requires oxygen • occurs in the mitochondria • Net total of 36 ATP produced • Formula C6H12O6 + 6O2 glucose + oxygen Human cells contain a specialized structure – the mitochondrion – that generates energy. 6 CO2 + 6H2O + 36 ATP carbon dioxide + water + energy STEP 1: Glycolysis -First pathway of respiration - ALL organisms perform this (aerobic AND anaerobic) -Takes place in the cytoplasm on enzymes -Splits glucose in half to form 2 pyruvic acid (pyruvate) -Gives off enough energy to make 2 ATP STEP 2: Krebs Cycle -Also called the Citric Acid Cycle -pyruvic acid is broken down and CO2 is released -Occurs in matrix of mitochondria STEP 3: Electron Transport Chain -electrons from Krebs Cycle converts ADP into ATP -Occurs along inner membrane (cristae) of mitochondria • Diagram - Cellular Respiration Electrons carried in NADH Mitochondria In Cytoplasm Glucose Krebs Cycle Glycolysis 2 2 electrons carried in NADH Electron Transport Chain 32 Summary: 3 steps: 1st glycolysis 2nd Krebs cycle 3rd Electron Transport Chain (ETC) Anaerobic Respiration or Fermentation: - pathway organisms use when no oxygen is available to the cell - Mostly unicellular organisms (low energy requirement) - Much less ATP produced than in aerobic respiration - Goes through glycolysis first, which makes 2 ATP - 2 kinds: Lactic Acid and Alcoholic Lactic acid Glycolysis Glucose 2 Pyruvate + 2 ATP Ethyl alcohol + CO2 Lactic Acid Fermentation pyruvic acid -Performed by muscle cells (animals) -Lactic acid is produced in the muscles during rapid exercise, when the body cannot supply enough oxygen to the tissues -causes a burning sensation in muscles -Also occurs in some bacteria -Used to create food products like yogurt and cheese lactic acid Alcohol fermentation Pyruvic acid ethyl alcohol + carbon dioxide -occurs in bacteria and yeast -Process used by baking and brewing industry -yeast produces CO2 gas during fermentation to make dough rise and gives bread its holes Cellular Respiration Diagram Anaerobic Respiration Cytoplasm C6H12O6 glucose Alcoholic fermentation Bacteria, Yeast 2 ATP glycolysis Lactic acid fermentation Muscle cells 2 ATP Aerobic Respiration 36 ATP Krebs Cycle ETC Mitochondria Photosynthesis and Respiration Products of one reaction are the Reactants of the other (and vice versa) • Cells require a constant source of energy for life processes, but keep only a small amount of ATP on hand. Cells can make more ATP by using the energy stored in foods, like glucose. • The energy stored in glucose by photosynthesis is released by cellular respiration and repackaged into the energy of ATP. Energy Flow: Producers photosynthesize and provide glucose for consumers Carbon Cycle: Producers remove CO2 from atmosphere while consumer replaces CO2 during respiration Water Cycle: Producers take water out of ecosystem and consumers produce water during respiration (also O2 removed by producer and returned by consumer)
