1. Biosynthesis and Breakdown Carbon/Energy Tracing Project

2. Biosynthesis ATP provides energy for biosynthesis reactions in cells
Biosynthesis reactions form larger, more complex molecules from less-complex molecules
Ex: starch from glucose
Biosynthesis helps organisms to grow and maintain their structure
Definition provided by definition bing.com
biological production of chemical substances: the synthesis of chemical substances as the result of biological activity

3. Biosynthesis and Breakdown
Metabolism: all chem. activities & changes that take place in the cell/organism
All chem rxns in a cell are 2 types:
Synthesis (biosynthesis): build up larger more complex molecules
Breakdown/decomposition (decomp) rxns: break down larger molecules into smaller

4. Examples of Biosynthesis and Breakdown
Build proteins from amino acids, which then build tissues, such as muscles and blood from proteins
Breakdown:
Cellular respiration, releases E & that E is provided from food

5. Importance of Food Provides E
Organic Molecules for making sugar, amino acids, other compounds (cmpds)
W/O Organ. Cmpnds cells could not repair or create new cells
Photosynthesis provides food for producers
How do heterotrophs get their food?

6. Digestion
Digestion: breaking dwn larger molecules into smaller, simpler molecules
Enzymes help break down of food
Found in mouth, stomach, small intestine
Speed up reactions
Final digestion occrs in sm. Intestine

7. Sandwich process through digestion
Contains:
Carbs, proteins, fats sugar, amino acids, fatty acids
These organic molecules then pass thru sm. Intest. Cell membrne to blood stream
From blood stream go into cells

8. Conversions Compounds Converted to Fats: Proteins:
3-C molecule and fatty acids- which enter Krebs
Amino acids

9. Whether a protein, carb, or fat, each organic molecule must be synthesized from the matter the organism takes in
Then it must be broken down so that the organisms can use the necessary organic molecules and energy

10. Biosynthesis: Decomposition:
Additional Info From Mz. R…
Metabolism
There are 2 types of metabolism: biosynthesis and decomposition.
Biosynthesis:
Builds up (synthesizes) new, larger, more complex molecules such as starch or DNA, proteins, build tissue and blood, etc.
Consumes free energy
Enables organisms to grow and maintain structure.
Decomposition:
Larger molecules break down into smaller ones, such as glycogen to glucose, and glucose into CO2 & water.
Energy becomes available.

11. Where do plants get the energy they need to survive?
Photosynthesis converts light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.

12. What do plants do with the glucose they create during photosynthesis?
So… what is the source of the mass increase in plants during their growth?
CO2 + H20
