HETEROTROPHS Organisms that obtain energy from the foods they consume are called heterotrophs. They cannot make the own food

AUTOTROPHS Organisms that make the own food are autotrophs (plants, algae, bacteria) Plants and some other types of organisms are able to use the light energy from the sun to produce food. What is the name of the process by which plants make their own food?

PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Photosynthesis The process that coverts inorganic substances, CO2 and H2O, using the sun’s energy into an organic substance called glucose, C6H12O6 and an inorganic substances O2 and water vapor. Photosynthesis occurs in the CHLOROPLASTS of the plant cell.

Chlorophyll – plants principal pigment that absorbs sunlight

Cellular Respiration Define cellular respiration A process that releases energy by breaking down food molecules in the presence of oxygen Both plant and animal cells must undergo cellular respiration Process occurs in the mitochondria

Chemical Equation for Cellular Respiration The equation is the opposite of photosynthesis.

CHEMICAL ENERGY AND ATP The activities of the cell are powered by chemical fuels. One of the principal chemical compounds that living things use to store energy is Adenosine Triphosphate – ATP.

ATP One glucose molecule breaks down into about 36 ATP molecules ATP is a fully charged battery, ready to power the machinery of the cell.

Energy Cells use energy for Active transport Movement within the cell

Transport Across the Cell membrane

Cell Membrane Regulates what enters and exits the cell Provides protection and support Semi-permeable – allows small substances through and keeps larger substances out Cell Membrane is made of lipids and proteins

Two Types of Movement Across the Cell Membrane Passive transport Active transport Diffusion – substance moving from an area of high concentration to area of low concentration Concentration means the amount of substance in a given area No Energy required by the cell for this movement Osmosis- diffusion of water Substance moving from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration Requires energy from the cell for this movement

Two types of Movement

Diffusion over time

Diffusion to try at home

Osmosis – Diffusion of Water

Effect of Osmosis Water will move in the direction where there is a high concentration of solute (low concentration of water) Solute - A substance dissolved in another substance Salt sucks- Salt is a solute, when it is concentrated in or out of the cell, it will draw water in its direction. This is why you get thirsty after eating something salty.

The Effects of Osmosis

ISOTONIC If the concentration of solute is equal on both sides, the water will move back in forth but it won’t have any result on the overall amount of water on either side.

HYPOTONIC If the concentration of solute is higher inside the cell, the water will move into the cell. The cell will expand and possible burst in an animal cell The cell wall protects cell from bursting.

HYPERTONIC If the concentration of solute is higher outside the cell, the water will move out of cell. The cell will shrink.
