1 ATP

2 ATP & ADP  ATP: Adenine triphosphate  adenine + ribose + 3 phosphates  Energy storing molecule, only stores energy for a few minutes  Source of all cell energy – “currency” of the cell; different cell functions require different amounts of ATP Adenine Ribose 3 Phosphate groups

3 ATP – ADP CYCLE  When one phosphate group breaks off, energy for cell work is released  ADP can reform into ATP by bonding another phosphate group

4  ADP: Adenosine diphosphate  Adenine + ribose + 2 phosphates  Molecule that results from ATP losing one P ADP ATP Energy Partially charged battery Fully charged battery Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) + Phosphate Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)

5 How do cells use energy in ATP?   When the phosphate bond is broken, the cell can use the released energy for different processes:   In photosynthesis, for making glucose   making new molecules - such as enzymes, cell membrane components, organelles, etc.   to maintain homeostasis, transmit nerve impulses, move cilia, remove wastes, etc.

6 ATP – ADP cycle in cells   In photosynthesis:   ATP is PRODUCED during Light-dependent reactions   ATP is USED during Dark-dependent reactions to make sugar and sustain plant cell functions   In cell respiration:   ATP is PRODUCED when breaking down sugars from food   ATP is USED to sustain cell functions

7 PHOTOSYNTHESIS, RESPIRATION, FERMENTATION

8 Photosynthesis  process using energy from sunlight to convert water and CO 2 into oxygen and carbohydrates (sugar)  Two parts:  Light dependent reactions: produce O 2 & converts ADP to ATP  Calvin cycle (dark reactions): use ATP from light reactions to produce sugars

9  Chlorophyll: green pigment inside chloroplasts in plant cells that absorbs blue & red light energy  Moves energy to electrons that drive reactions Chloroplast Light- Dependent Reactions Calvin Cycle Sugars

10 Overview cellular respiration  Respiration: process that releases energy by breaking down food when oxygen is present  Formula:  C 6 H 12 O 6 + O 2  CO 2 + H 2 O

11  Fermentation: respiration without oxygen present  Two types:  Alcoholic: form ethyl alcohol and CO 2 as waste products; used to make bread rise  Lactic acid: produces lactic acid in muscles when exercising without enough oxygen

12 How photosynthesis & respiration relate.  Almost opposite processes  Photosynthesis produce food (store)  Respiration breaks down food (releases)  Photosynthesis uses CO 2 and releases O 2  Respiration releases CO 2 and uses O 2

13 Quiz 4 1.The formula CO 2 + H 2 O --- C 6 H 12 O 6 + O 2 is the formula for ? a. photosynthesis b. respiration 2.___ is the process which breaks down food molecules to release energy and takes place in the mitochondria. a. photosynthesis b. digestion c. respiration 3.___ is formed when ATP releases a phosphate. a.
