Biochemical Pathways Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
2
AUTOTROPHS ○ make their own food. ○ Ex: Phototrophs….Use light energy ○ Ex: Chemotrophs…Use inorganic compounds HETEROTROPHS ○ Must eat org. mol. for energy (carbon source).
3
Light Form of energy Other forms: Other forms: ○ thermal, electrical, kinetic, sound, chemical Travels in waves (diff. wavelengths)
4
Wavelength (λ)
5
FM The Electromagnetic Spectrum
6
Photosynthesis (Psyn): Process: Light energy converts to chemical energy (sugars) Pigments used to capture light energy
7
Pigments
8
Chlorophyll a Chlorophyll a C 55 H 72 O 5 N 4 Mg Molecular wt. 893.5 Blue-Green (Not on test)
9
Chlorophyll b Chlorophyll b C 55 H 70 O 6 N 4 Mg Molecular wt. 907.5 Yellow-Green (Not on test)
11
Anthocyanin C 15 H 11 O + pp Blue, red, pp fruit, flowers (Not on test)
12
ß Carotene C 40 H 56 Mol. wt. 536.9 Orange Red Orange, Red (Not on test)
13
Xanthophyll C 40 H 56 O 2 Mol. Wt. 568 Yellow (Not on test)
14
Chromatography Splitting pigments apart
16
Evergreen plants psyn. year round. Deciduous plants affected by temp. and light changes; leaves change color - drop. Factors affecting the rate of psyn. Temperature Water availability Intensity of light CO 2 availability
17
Vocabulary Chloroplast- Chloroplast- plant cell organelle ; uses light energy to make chemical energy thru psyn., has chlorophyll Chlorophyll- Chlorophyll- pigment: captures light energy Stoma- opening under leaves; allows CO 2 and O 2 to diffuse in/out of leaf. (stomata, pl.) Thylakoids- Thylakoids- saclike body in chloroplast; made of photosynthetic membranes Granum- Granum- stack of thylakoids (grana, pl.) Stroma Stroma- fluid region outside thylakoid membranes in chloroplast. NADP + - NADP + - molecule that carries energy and hydrogen - becomes NADPH ATP ATP- chemical compound used to store energy

PHOTOSYNTHESIS Let’s draw this process… 6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 O → C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 light energy Carbon dioxide and water are used to make sugar, with oxygen as a byproduct. Balanced equation
26
Chloroplast Psyn. occurs here Inside: chlorophylls Thylakoids = flattened membrane-bound sacks; has chlorophylls. Grana- stacks of thylakoids. Stroma= fluid matrix surrounding stacks.
27
Photosynthesis: two stages Light Dependent Reaction (LDR) Light Independent Reaction (LIR) or Calvin Cycle (used to be “dark Rx”) Both occur in chloroplast
28
Photosynthesis: Light Dependent Rx light energy captured by chlorophyll H 2 O split – photolysis O 2 released only takes place in light occurs in thylakoids makes NADPH & some ATP nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-oxidase

31
ATP Production during Aerobic Respiration involving the ETC and Chemiosmosis (Not on test) Chemiosmosis
32
Photosynthesis: Light Independent Rx (Calvin Cycle) No light needed occurs in stroma fluid outside thylakoids NADPH & ATP powers cycle. CO 2 is carbon source to make glucose
33
RESPIRATION: all organisms Converts sugars to other power molecules Stages: 1. Glycolysis THEN: 2a. Aerobic Resp. of Mitochondrion (in eukaryotes) OR: 2b. Anaerobic Resp. (Fermentation) (in pro/eu)
34
How do cells get energy from glucose? GLYCOLYSIS Splits glucose into 2 pyruvic acids cytosol Takes place in the cytosol Doesn’t need oxygen (anaerobic) Very fast process GLYCOLYSIS Splits glucose into 2 pyruvic acids cytosol Takes place in the cytosol Doesn’t need oxygen (anaerobic) Very fast process

36
Cellular Respiration Step 1 Glycolysis (in cytosol, anaerobic) Glycolysis Requires 2 ATP to start the process Net gain of 2 ATP and 2 NADH 2 pyruvic acids made
37
Cellular Respiration Step 2, 3 (in mitochondrion of eukaryotes) Kreb’s Cycle- Kreb’s Cycle- Kreb’s Cycle- In matrix fluid- breaks pyruvic acids into acetyl CoA and CO 2 (2 ATP formed) In matrix fluid- breaks pyruvic acids into acetyl CoA and CO 2 (2 ATP formed) Electron Transport chain- In cristae membrane: ATP synthase converts ADP to ATP (32 ATP formed) In cristae membrane: ATP synthase converts ADP to ATP (32 ATP formed)

Total ATP Yields Glycolysis 2 ATP Krebs Cycle 2 ATP Electron Transport 32 ATP Total ATP from one glucose = 36 molecules. C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O + 36ATP This is the balanced equation for resp. This is the balanced equation for resp.

Respiration schematic
41
Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration form a continuous cycle : the products of one process are the reactants for the other. Photosynthesis light 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O light C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 Cellular Respiration C 6 H 12 O 6 + 60 2 6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 O + energy (ATP) What’s the actual difference between the two (besides the order in which things appear)? How Energy Cycles
42
If NO Oxygen present… Fermentation occurs (in cytosol) Sustains glycolysis Keeps 2 ATPs forming from each glucose Two types: ○ Alcoholic ferm. (in prokaryotes, some eukaryotes) Some bacteria, yeast. Byproducts: Ethyl alcohol and CO 2 ○ Lactic Acid ferm. (in YOU, and other eukaryotes) Muscle tissue Byproduct: Lactic acid
44
How fermentation sustains glycolysis Keeps NADH cycle going
