Carbon Cycle
4
Photosynthesis: REVIEW Previously, we learned that photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts light reactions In the ‘light reactions’, solar energy is captured by photosystems on the thylakoid membrane and used to attach phosphate groups to energy-carrying molecules like ATP.
5
Photosynthesis: REVIEW ATP NADPHlight reactions In the CALVIN CYCLE (dark cycle), the ATP and NADPH made in the light reactions are used to power the building of sugars in the stroma, the fluid-filled interior of the chloroplasts. This completes the equation for photosynthesis: 6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 0 C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2
6
Photosynthesis: REVIEW So now we have energy stored in the form of sugars. Very nice, but what if plants (or, for that matter, people) want to release that energy? THEY MUST USE A DIFFERENT PATH…..! This completes the equation for photosynthesis: 6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 0 C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2
7
CELLULAR RESPIRATION ! Next, we’ll need another organelle to do these chloroplasts reactions in! Not chloroplasts this time, but instead another organelle with its own DNA…. REVERSE FIRST, WE REVERSE THE EQUATION: 6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 0 C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2
8
What organelle is the powerhouse of cells? Mitochondria!! (only one is a mitochondrion)
9
So what???? How long can you live without food? –~8 weeks if you’re healthy to start How long can you live without water? –~3-5 days if not in excessive heat or cold How long can you live without oxygen? –Minutes! ~5 minutes Why? ATP!! This is the energy your cells can use to do all cellular work like digest and build molecules, contract muscles cells, run the nervous system!!

Mitochondria:

Mitochondria:
12
have complex folded inner membranes have complex folded inner membranes (cristae), increasing their surface area (cristae), increasing their surface area Mitochondria:
13
have complex folded inner membranes have complex folded inner membranes (cristae), increasing their surface area (cristae), increasing their surface area have a fluid-filled interior (the matrix) have a fluid-filled interior (the matrix) Mitochondria:
14
have complex folded inner membranes have complex folded inner membranes (cristae), increasing their surface area (cristae), increasing their surface area have a fluid-filled interior (the matrix) have a fluid-filled interior (the matrix) act like combustion chambers in an engine, act like combustion chambers in an engine, a ‘safe’ place to ‘burn’ fuel with oxygen a ‘safe’ place to ‘burn’ fuel with oxygen Mitochondria:
15
Before combustion can occur, however, we have to get some “fuel” !
16
What happens when any fuel is combusted? What about a wood fire? Cellulose + oxygen water + carbon dioxide + energy (heat and light) What about fuel in your car or natural gas/oil heat? Hydrocarbon fuel (gas) + oxygen water + carbon dioxide + energy –Energy released is converted to kinetic energy and/or heat What about in living organisms like yourself? Cellular respiration is glucose + oxygen water + carbon dioxide + energy (ATP) + heat (notice that last one? This is how you maintain your body temp. along with gaining ATP energy for your cells)
17
Overall Equation for Cellular Respiration: For that, we will need to break down glucose (or other sugars) OUTSIDE the mitochondria, in a process called....
19
is the breakdown of glucose (or is the breakdown of glucose (or other sugars) other sugars)
20
is the breakdown of glucose (or is the breakdown of glucose (or other sugars) other sugars) requires an activation energy requires an activation energy
21
is the breakdown of glucose (or is the breakdown of glucose (or other sugars) other sugars) requires an activation energy requires an activation energy occurs in the cytoplasm occurs in the cytoplasm
22
Polymers of glucose, like starch, are first broken into individual sugars through hydrolysis
23
The single sugars produced contain stored energy in their chemical bonds, but they are still too big to pass through the mitochondrial membrane.
24
ATP provides the initial activation energy. The 6-carbon sugar will be broken down in a series of steps that do not involve oxygen.
25
There will be a net gain of 2 ATP. The final products of glycolysis are two 3-carbon molecules of pyruvate (pyruvic acid) C3H3O3C3H3O3
26
Pyruvate membrane Pyruvate is small enough to be easily transported through the mitochondrial membrane, where a new series of chemical reactions take place... C3H3O3C3H3O3
27
The Krebs Cycle
28
The Krebs Cycle: takes place in the matrix
29
The Krebs Cycle: takes place in the matrix 3-carbon begins by converting each of the 3-carbon pyruvates into a special complex called acetyl CoA C3H3O3C3H3O3C3H3O3C3H3O3 “acetyl “acetyl CoA”.. Co-enzyme A is added Pyruvate enters the matrix......a waste product, CO 2, is released...
30
The Krebs Cycle: Acetyl CoA begins the cycle Acetyl CoA
31
The Krebs Cycle: Acetyl CoA begins the cycle CO 2 As the cycle proceeds, CO 2 are removed CO 2
32
The Krebs Cycle: There is a net ATP gain in ATP, and... electron transport chain...an electron transport chain is charged! ATP CO 2 e-e-e-e- e-e-e-e-
33
Electron Transport: cristae takes place in the cristae
34
Electron Transport: cristae takes place in the cristae
35
Electron Transport: cristae takes place in the cristae H +, will draw in H +, creating a high concentration which can be used to proton pump drive a proton pump Electron Transport:
36
Proton Pumping: ATP synthase powers the enzyme, ATP synthase
37
Proton Pumping: ATP synthase powers the enzyme, ATP synthase …which is then used to make ATP
38
So what???? How long can you live without food? –~8 weeks if you’re healthy to start How long can you live without water? –~3-5 days if not in excessive heat or cold How long can you live without oxygen? –Minutes! ~5 minutes Why? ATP!! This is the energy your cells can use!!
