8.1 How Organisms Obtain Energy
Laws of Thermodynamics
First law—energy can be converted from one form to another, but it cannot be created nor destroyed.
Second law—energy cannot be converted without the loss of usable energy.

8.1 How Organisms Obtain Energy
ATP: The Unit of Cellular Energy
ATP releases energy when the bond between the second and third phosphate groups is broken, forming a molecule called adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and a free phosphate group.
ATP

8. Overview of Photosynthesis
Chapter 8
Cellular Energy
8.2 Photosynthesis
Overview of Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis occurs in two phases.
Light-dependent reactions
Light-independent reactions

9. Phase One: Light Reactions
Chapter 8
Cellular Energy
8.2 Photosynthesis
Phase One: Light Reactions
The absorption of light is the first step in photosynthesis.
Chloroplasts capture light energy.

10. Chapter 8
Cellular Energy
8.2 Photosynthesis
Electron Transport
Light energy excites electrons in photosystem II and also causes a water molecule to split, releasing an electron into the electron transport system, H+ into the thylakoid space, and O2 as a waste product.

11. Chapter 8
Cellular Energy
8.2 Photosynthesis
The excited electrons move from photosystem II to an electron-acceptor molecule in the thylakoid membrane.
The electron-acceptor molecule transfers the electrons along a series of electron-carriers to photosystem I.

12. Photosystem I transfers the electrons to a protein called ferrodoxin.
Chapter 8
Cellular Energy
8.2 Photosynthesis
Photosystem I transfers the electrons to a protein called ferrodoxin.
Ferrodoxin transfers the electrons to the electron carrier NADP+, forming the energy-storing molecule NADPH.

14. Phase Two: The Calvin Cycle
Chapter 8
Cellular Energy
8.2 Photosynthesis
Phase Two: The Calvin Cycle
In the second phase of photosynthesis, called the Calvin cycle, energy is stored in organic molecules such as glucose.

15. Chapter 8
Cellular Energy

16. Chapter 8
Cellular Energy
8.2 Photosynthesis
Six CO2 molecules combine with six 5-carbon compounds to form twelve 3-carbon molecules called 3-PGA.
The chemical energy stored in ATP and NADPH is transferred to the 3-PGA molecules to form high-energy molecules called G3P.

17. Chapter 8
Cellular Energy
8.2 Photosynthesis
Two G3P molecules leave the cycle to be used for the production of glucose and other organic compounds.
An enzyme called rubisco converts the remaining ten G3P molecules into 5-carbon molecules called RuBP.
These molecules combine with new carbon dioxide molecules to continue the cycle.

Cellular respiration occurs in two main parts.
Glycolysis
Aerobic respiration

21. Chapter 8
Cellular Energy
8.3 Cellular Respiration
Glycolysis
Glucose is broken down in the cytoplasm through the process of glycolysis.
Two molecules of ATP and two molecules of NADH are formed for each molecule of glucose that is broken down.

22. Glycolysis has a net result of two ATP and two pyruvate.
Chapter 8
Cellular Energy
8.3 Cellular Respiration
Krebs Cycle
Glycolysis has a net result of two ATP and two pyruvate.
Most of the energy from the glucose is still contained in the pyruvate.
The series of reactions in which pyruvate is broken down into carbon dioxide is called the Krebs cycle.

23. Chapter 8
Cellular Energy
8.3 Cellular Respiration
The net yield from the Krebs cycle is six CO2 molecules, two ATP, eight NADH, and two FADH2.
