3. Chemical Energy and ATP: All cells need chemical energy
ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) A molecule that provides energy for cellular reactions and processes. ATP releases energy when one of its high energy bonds is broken to release a phosphate group.
ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate): a lower-energy molecule that can be recycled into ATP by adding a phosphate group.

4. Chemosythesis: a process by which some organisms use chemical energy – instead of light energy– as a source to make their own food.
Photosynthesis: A process in which solar radiation is chemically captured by chlorophyll molecules and results in chemical energy in the bonds of carbohydrate molecules.

5. Cellular Respiration A set of chemical reactions involving an energy transformation where energy in the chemical bonds of “food” molecules is released and captured in the bonds of ATP.

6. Chemical Energy and ATP
The chemical energy used by cells is in ATP
Adenosine triphosphate
Stores energy that cells can use.
Energy in food is transferred to ATP so that the cell can use it
When the cell needs energy, ATP is slightly broken down to ADP

7. ATP  ADP  ATP  ADP 
ATP has three phosphate groups.
The third phosphate group is held on with a high energy bond
When the bond is broken, energy is released
ADP is recycled to become ATP again.
Another phosphate is added to ADP, it becomes ATP again
This requires energy

8. Organisms break down carbon-based molecules to produce ATP.
Your food supplies the energy for the conversion of ADP  ATP
IMPORTANT!!! Foods that you eat do NOT contain ATP that your cells can use.
Your digestive system breaks the food down into molecules of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins.

9. What you eat is burned to make ATP
The amount of ATP produced depends on the type of molecule you ingest
Sugar provides about 36 molecules of ATP
Fat provides about 146 molecules of ATP
Protein can provide about 36 molecules of ATP
However, protein is usually broken down into amino acids and they are used to build more proteins.

10. Plants need ATP too! Plant cells also need ATP
However, plants are producers, they do not eat food the way consumers (animals) must
Plants make their own sugar to create ATP
They are autotrophs (animals are heterotrophs)
Through the process of photosynthesis in their chloroplasts, plants use energy from sunlight to make sugars.
Plant cells then break down the sugars they make to produce ATP just like animals.

11. A few types of organisms do not need sunlight as a source of energy
Not all autotrophs use sunlight and photosynthesis to make their own source of energy
However, this is the most common way for organisms to get energy
Some aquatic environments in the deep ocean do not have sunlight as a resource, but organisms still live there.
These organisms live near cracks in the ocean floor that release chemicals, like sulfur
Chemosynthesis is a process by which those organisms produce ATP from chemical energy, instead of light energy.
The way these organisms make ATP is very similar to terrestrial organisms
One Class period.
Assign the questions at the end of the notes for homework. Focus on the common ancestry, link because all life depends on carbohydrates and ATP.
Good follow up is the textbook questions page 102.

12. Photosynthesis vs Chemosynthesis
Instead of photosynthesis, vent ecosystems derive their energy from chemicals in a process called “chemosynthesis.”
Both methods involve an energy source (1), carbon dioxide (2), and water to produce sugars (3). Photosynthesis gives off oxygen gas as a byproduct, while chemosynthesis produces sulfur (4).

19. Overview of Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis: A process in which solar radiation is chemically captured by chlorophyll molecules and results in chemical energy in the bonds of carbohydrate molecules.
Chlorophyll: a molecule in chloroplasts that can absorb light energy. There are two types, chlorophyll a and b. They absorb red and blue wavelengths of light, and reflect green light.

20. Chloroplasts: plant organelles that carry out photosynthesis
Chloroplasts: plant organelles that carry out photosynthesis. Chloro- means “green”. They contain chlorophyll, a green pigment that absorbs light energy. Chloroplasts have their own ribosomes and DNA.

21. Thylakoid: a part of the chloroplast
Thylakoid: a part of the chloroplast. Flattened disks enclosed by membranes that contain chlorophyll. The light-dependent reactions happen here.
Stroma: fluid that surrounds the thylakoids in the chloroplast. The light-independent reactions happen here.

22. Light-dependent reactions: a part of the two-step process of photosynthesis that absorbs light energy. Happens in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast.

23. Light-independent reactions: begin because of the energy absorbed in the light-dependent reaction. Happens in the stroma of the chloroplast. Carbon dioxide molecules are bonded together, creating sugar, usually glucose.
