Chapter Objectives You will learn what ATP is You will explain how ATP provides energy for the cell You will describe how chloroplasts trap the sun’s energy to make ATP and complex carbohydrates You will compare ATP production in mitochondria and chloroplasts
3
Cell Respiration Cells need energy to do work and to stay alive Most of the energy comes from carbohydrates (starches & sugars) Carbohydrates are turned into glucose by digestion Glucose is taken apart chemically and energy is released
4
ATP and Respiration Energy needed by the cell is stored in a special molecule Adenosine triphosphate
5
Molecule has 3 phosphate groups Removing one of the phosphate groups breaks the chemical bond and releases lots of energy When one phosphate group is removed it becomes Adenosine diphosphate
6
ADP Turns back into ATP by bonding back the phosphate group that was removed Energy to do this comes from glucose when it is broken down chemically Glucose is broken down in the cytoplasm The ATP-----ADP cycle occurs in the mitochondria
7
Energy Cycle Energy + phosphate ATP ADP
8
Steps in Cell Respiration 1. First step is called Glycolysis 2. 1 glucose molecule is broken down into 2 molecules of pyruvic acid 3. Enough energy is released to change 2 molecules of ADP into 2 molecules of ATP
9
Glycolysis Glucose 2 ATP Pyruvic Acid
10
Second Step is Aerobic Respiration Requires oxygen 2 Steps involved: a.) Citric Acid Cycle (Kreb’s Cycle) b.) Electron Transport Chain (ETC)
11
Citric Acid Cycle Begins and ends with the same molecule (Acetyl-CoA) Pyruvate (formed during glycolysis) enters mitochondria and transforms to Acetyl-CoA. CO 2 is formed 2 ATP and Hydrogen (H+) ions are formed
12
Electron Transport Chain (ETC) Located on inner membrane of Mitochondria H atoms pass along long chain to produce 34 ATP Hydrogen atoms passed to O 2 at final electron acceptor to convert the ADP into ATP and form H 2 O
13
Aerobic Respiration Pyruvate 36 ATP Carbon Dioxide Water
14
Respiration in Review Total of 38 molecules of ATP are produced by the 3 steps: 2 ATP from breakdown of glycolysis 2 ATP from breakdown of acetyl- CoA (Krebs Cycle) 34 ATP from E.T.C.
15
Chemical Equation for Cell Respiration ADP + P + C 6 H 12 0 6 + 6 0 2 6CO 2 + 6H 2 0 +ATP
16
Anaerobic Respiration First step like aerobic respiration Second step 1. Pyruvic acid is broken down into CO 2 and either alcohol or lactic acid. 2. During this step no additional energy is released Net energy produced is only 2 ATP Molecules produced in step one Breaking down glucose w/out oxygen
17
FERMENTATION Anaerobic process that breaks glucose down into alcohol or lactic acid, CO 2 and energy. Takes place in the absence of oxygen Cell only gets 2 ATP (very inefficient) Uses for humans: wine, beer, bread, cheese
18
Anaerobic Respiration Lactic Acid when produced in muscle cells causes them to fatigue very rapidly.
19
Review of Respiration ATP is the energy molecule obtained by the break down of glucose. Specifically 2 ATP are formed When Pyruvic acid is broken down it forms 36 ATP molecules Carbon Dioxide and Water
20
Photosynthesis Photosynthesis is the process used by plants to : Obtain the energy needed by organisms and cells Capture solar energy and change it to usable chemical energy
21
Photosynthesis Chemical Equation 6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 0 C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 LIGHT CHLOROPHYLL
22
Photosynthesis occurs in the plant cell chloroplasts Inside chloroplasts are many folded membranes called grana Chlorophyll molecules inside of grana trap solar energy Surrounding the grana is a solution called stroma
23
Photosynthesis Occurs in two major reactions Light Reactions Dark Reactions
24
Light Reactions Occur only in light Chlorophyll traps sunlight Energy is used to change ADP into ATP Energy in ATP is used in second series of reactions, used by the cell or stored A second carrier molecule is also produced NADPH 2
25
Light Reactions Continued Occur in the thylakoid membrane and grana of chloroplasts. Water splits to form hydrogen and oxygen which is then released H 2 O H 2 + O 2
26
Dark Reactions (Calvin Cycle) Known as Calvin Cycle Occurs in both light and dark Takes place in the stroma of chloroplast Energy from ATP and NADPH 2 is used to produce glucose and oxygen from water and carbon dioxide
27
Dark Reactions Continued Hydrogen combines with carbon dioxide and other compounds to produce glucose This reaction occurs after the light reactions
28
Comparing Photosynthesis & Respiration Photosynthesis 1. Occurs only when light and chlorophyll are present 2. Stores energy in glucose 3. Uses carbon dioxide and water 4. Produces glucose and oxygen 6CO 2 + 6H 2 0 C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 Respiration 1. Occurs in all cells with or without light & chlorophyll 2. Takes energy from glucose 3. Uses glucose and oxygen 4. Produces Carbon dioxide & water ADP + P +C 6 H 12 O 6 + 0 2 CO 2 + H 2 0 + ATP
29
Organisms and their food needs Autotroph An organism that makes its own food For example: plants Heterotroph An organism that does not make its own food but depends on autotrophs. For example: humans
