Energy in Living Systems

Photosynthesis Photosynthesis: light energy is converted to chemical energy. Photosynthesis: light energy is converted to chemical energy. Organisms that use sunlight to make energy are called autotrophs. Organisms that use sunlight to make energy are called autotrophs.

Digestion Stored chemical energy can be transferred to some organisms. Stored chemical energy can be transferred to some organisms. Heterotrophs use the stored energy by breaking apart the large molecules during digestion. Heterotrophs use the stored energy by breaking apart the large molecules during digestion. Creates glucose and other molecules. Creates glucose and other molecules.

Digestion
19
Enzymes Special proteins that make reactions happen faster and with less energy. Special proteins that make reactions happen faster and with less energy. Can speed up a reaction up to a million times! Can speed up a reaction up to a million times! Ex: CO 2 + water = carbonic acid Ex: CO 2 + water = carbonic acid 200 reactions/hour w/o enzyme. 200 reactions/hour w/o enzyme. 60,000 reactions/sec w/enzyme. 60,000 reactions/sec w/enzyme. A 10,000,000 times increase! A 10,000,000 times increase!
