Cells and energy Chapter 4 Sections 1, 2, 4, 6

4.1 Chemical Energy and ATP Connect the role of ATP to energy transfers within a cell

4.1 Chemical Energy and ATP The chemical energy used for most cell processes is carried by ATP Molecules in food store chemical energy in their bonds ATP transfers energy from the breakdown of food molecules to cell functions. Energy is released when a phosphate group is removed ADP is changed into ATP when a phosphate group is added phosphate removed triphosphate adenosine diphosphate tri=3 di=2

4.1 Chemical Energy and ATP Organisms break down carbon- based molecules to produce ATP Carbohydrates are the molecules most commonly broken down to make ATP Not stored in large amounts Up to 36 ATP from one glucose molecule Fats store the most energy 80% of the energy in your body About 146 ATP from a triglyceride Proteins are least likely to be broken down to make ATP Amino acids not usually needed for energy About the same amount of energy as a carbohydrate

4.1 Chemical Energy and ATP A few types of organisms do not need sunlight and photosynthesis as a source of energy Some organisms live in places that never get sunlight In chemosynthesis, chemical energy is used to build carbon-based molecules. Similar to photosynthesis Uses chemical energy instead of light energy

4.2 Overview of photosynthesis Identify the reactants, products, and basic functions of photosynthesis.

4.2 Overview of Photosynthesis Photosynthetic organisms are producers Producers make their own source of chemical energy. Plants use photosynthesis and are producers. Photosynthesis captures energy from sunlight to make sugars. Chlorophyll is a molecule that absorbs light energy. In plants, chlorophyll is found in organelles called chloroplasts.

4.2 Overview of Photosynthesis Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts It takes place in two parts of the chloroplasts. Grana (thylakoids) Stroma chloroplast stroma grana (thylakoids)

4.2 Overview of Photosynthesis The light-dependent reactions capture energy from sunlight. Takes place in thylakoids Water and sunlight are needed Chlorophyll absorb energy Energy is transferred along thylakoid membrane then to light-independent reactions. Oxygen is released

4.2 Overview of Photosynthesis The light-independent reactions make sugars Takes place in the stroma Needs carbon dioxide from atmosphere. Uses energy to build a sugar in a cycle of chemical reactions

4.2 Overview of Photosynthesis The equation for the overall process is: 6CO2 + 6H2O -> C6H12O6 + 6O2 C6H12O6 granum (stack of thylakoids) thylakoid sunlight 1 six-carbon sugar 6H2O 6CO2 6O2 chloroplast 1 2 4 3 energy stroma (fluid outside the thylakoids)

4.4 Overview of Cellular Respiration Identify the reactants, products, and basic functions of aerobic and anaerobic cellular respiration.

4.4 Overview of Cellular Respiration Cellular respiration makes ATP by breaking down sugars. Cellular respiration is aerobic, requires oxygen. Aerobic stages take place in the mitochondria. mitochondrion animal cell

4.4 Overview of Cellular Respiration Glycolysis must take place first. Anaerobic process, no oxygen Takes place in the cytoplasm Splits glucose into three carbon molecules. Produces 2 ATP molecules

4.4 Overview of Cellular Respiration Cellular respiration is like a mirror image of photosynthesis The Krebs cycle transfers energy to an electron transport chain. Takes place in the mitochondrial matrix. Breaks down three-carbon molecules from glycolysis. Makes a small amount of ATP Releases carbon dioxide Transfers energy-carrying molecules 6H O 2 6CO 6O mitochondrion matrix (area enclosed by inner membrane) inner membrane ATP energy energy from glycolysis 1 4 3 and

4.4 Overview of Cellular Respiration The electron transport chain produces a large amount of ATP Takes place in the inner membrane Energy transferred to electron transport chain Oxygen enters process ATP produced Water released as a waste product 6H O 2 6CO 6O mitochondrion matrix (area enclosed by inner membrane) inner membrane ATP energy energy from glycolysis 1 4 3 and

4.4 Overview of Cellular Respiration The equation for the overall process is: C6H1206 + 6O2 -> 6C02 +6H2O The reactants in photosynthesis are the same as the products of cellular respiration.

4.6 Fermentation Identify the reactants, products, and basic functions of aerobic and anaerobic cellular respiration.

4.6 Fermentation Fermentation allows glycolysis to continue making ATP when oxygen is unavailable. Fermentation is an anaerobic process. Occurs when oxygen is not available for cellular respiration Does not produce ATP

4.6 Fermentation NAD+ is recycled to glycolysis Lactic acid fermentation occurs in muscle cells Glycolysis splits glucose into two pyruvate molecules (three-carbon molecule) Pyruvate and NADH enter fermentation Energy from NADH converts pyruvate into lactic acid NADH is changed back into NAD+

4.6 Fermentation Alcoholic fermentation is similar to lactic acid fermentation Glycolysis splits glucose and the products (pyruvate and NADH) enter fermentation Energy from NADH is used to split pyruvate into an alcohol and carbon dioxide NADH is changed back into NAD+ NAD+ is recycled to glycolysis

4.6 Fermentation Fermentation is used in food production Yogurt (bacteria) Cheese (milk) Bread (yeast) Alcohol (yeast)
