Cell Energy
2
Cell Energy The ultimate source of energy for all life is the sun.
Autotrophs are organisms that can make their own food ex. plants, algae, cyanobacteria
3
Cell Energy Heterotrophs are organisms that have to consume food to get energy ex. animals, fungi
4
ATP (adenosine triphosphate)
ATP is the form of energy used by cells 3 parts: adenine ribose sugar three phosphate groups
5
ATP Energy is stored in the bond between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate group. What molecule is made when the energy is released from the ATP? ADP
6
Photosynthesis
7
carbon dioxide + water + light glucose + oxygen
Photosynthesis 6CO2 + 6H2O + light C6H12O6 + 6O2 carbon dioxide + water + light glucose + oxygen What kind of organisms carry out photosynthesis? autotrophs
8
Photosynthesis Autotrophs have pigments – molecules that trap specific wavelengths of light Examples: Chlorophyll Carotene Xanthophyll
9
Photosynthesis Where in the cell does photosynthesis take place? Chloroplast
10
Light Reactions (light-dependent reactions)
Where does it happen? thylakoid membrane What goes in? light & water What comes out? oxygen, ATP, electron carriers
11
Calvin Cycle (light-independent or dark reactions)
Where does it happen? stroma What goes in? CO2, ATP, electron carrier What comes out? glucose sugar
13
Cell Respiration
14
oxygen + glucose carbon dioxide + water + ATP
Cellular Respiration 6O2 + C6H12O6 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy oxygen + glucose carbon dioxide + water + ATP This is an aerobic process which means it requires oxygen
15
3 stages of aerobic respiration
Step 1: Glycolysis Starts with glucose Produces ATP, electron carrier, & pyruvate Occurs in cytoplasm
16
3 stages of aerobic respiration
Step 2: Krebs cycle (citric acid cycle) Starts with pyruvate (changed to acetyl-CoA) Produces CO2 , ATP, & electron carriers
17
3 stages of aerobic respiration
Krebs cycle cont. Occurs in matrix of the mitochondria
18
3 stages of aerobic respiration
Step 3: Electron Transport Chain Starts with electron carriers & oxygen
19
3 stages of aerobic respiration
Produces water & ATP Occurs on inner membrane
20
3 stages of aerobic respiration
21
Fermentation This happens when NO oxygen is present.
This is anaerobic, meaning . . . no oxygen is required
22
Alcoholic Fermentation
Occurs in cytoplasm of bacteria & yeast Starts with pyruvate (from glycolysis) Produces ethyl alcohol & carbon dioxide Uses: makes alcohol & bread
23
Lactic Acid Fermentation
Occurs in cytoplasm of muscle cells & bacteria Starts with pyruvate (from glycolysis) Produces lactic acid
24
Lactic Acid Fermentation
Causes . . . burning sensation after vigorous exercise Uses: makes sauerkraut & yogurt
