To be successful today…
1) Pull out ATP Coloring Sheet BYOD Color of the day is Phones are put away in backpacks
2
Essential Question: How does ATP transfer energy for use by the cell and why can’t the cell use glucose for energy?
3
Recall… HETEROTRPHS cannot make their own food
AUTOTROPHS can make their own food Ex: Green plants, a few kinds of bacteria HETEROTRPHS cannot make their own food Ex: Animals, fungi, most bacteria
4
EVERYTHING is connected!
SUNLIGHT is the ultimate source of energy for everything on the planet!
5
Energy Can change forms: Ability to do work
Cannot be created or destroyed Can change forms: - EX: Light energy can be changed into chemical energy
6
List all the types/forms of energy you can think of ...
7
Energy is stored in chemical BONDS!!
8
When you break a chemical bond energy is released.
9
Energy that cells use is called
Energy that cells use is called ATP Image by: Riedell
10
ATP is a special nucleotide made up of:
3 PHOSPHATE GROUPS ATP = __________________________ Adenosine triphosphate
11
Energy Stored in Bonds of ATP
12
Looks just like ATP, except it only has 2 phosphates
ATP can change into ADP 2 PHOSPHATE GROUPS ADP = __________________________ Adenosine diphosphate Looks just like ATP, except it only has 2 phosphates
13
And makes ATP!! To STORE energy, cells add a phosphate on to ADP ATP
It’s like recharging the battery !
14
To release energy, the cell breaks off a phosphate… And makes ADP!
This energy is used to power cellular activities
15
ATP-ADP Cycle Video
16
WHAT DO CELLS NEED ATP FOR ?
ACTIVE TRANSPORT :
17
WHAT DO CELLS NEED ATP FOR ?
Movement, Cell Division Meiosis: Cilia:
18
WHAT DO CELLS NEED ATP FOR ?
Creating new biomolecules Replication: Transcription: Translation:
19
WHAT DO CELLS NEED ATP FOR ?
GROWTH and REPAIR
20
ATP is useful BUT . . . Even though GLUCOSE stores more energy in its bonds than ATP, cells CANNOT use glucose for energy. Glucose must first be converted to ATP
21
ATP is useful BUT . . . ATP is good for TRANSFERRING ENERGY, but NOT for storing energy LONG TERM. Cells only keep a small amount ATP around to last a few seconds and recharge it by burning glucose.
