1 Chapter 8.1-Energy and Life

2 Chemical Energy In Cells
Is stored as ATP Adenosine triphosphate - Adenine, ribose, 3 phosphate groups Bonds in ATP can be broken to release energy Is re-usable ATP can be re-formed to store energy over and over Is similar to a rechargeable battery

3

4 Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
+ = + = Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) Phosphate group (P) Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)

5

6 Autotrophs and Heterotrophs
Autotrophs make their own food Also called producers Photosynthesizers Heterotrophs eat or consume food or nutrients Also called consumers Herbivores Carnivores Omnivores Autotrophs form the basis of any chain, and make life on Earth possible

7 Chapter 8.2 p. 232 An overview of photosynthesis

8 Photosynthesis Reaction
Occurs in chloroplasts In symbols: 6CO2 + 6H2O + light → C6H12O6 + 6O2 In words: Carbon Dioxide + Water + Light → Sugar + Oxygen

9 Cellular Respiration Reaction
Occurs in mitochondria In symbols: 6O2 + C6H12O6 + → 6H2O + 6CO2 + ATP In words: Oxygen + Sugar (Glucose) → Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy

10 Chapter 9.1 p. 253 Comparing photosynthesis and cellular respiration

11 Comparing Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
Removes CO2 from the atmosphere Releases O2 into the atmosphere Turns CO2 into food (sugar) Releases CO2 into the atmosphere Removes O2 from the atmosphere Uses O2 to turn sugar into energy
