Cellular Energy

Cells Use Energy Maintain homeostasis To perform all cellular processes To make energy-storing molecules When they stop using energy, they are dead Maintain homeostasis To perform all cellular processes To make energy-storing molecules When they stop using energy, they are dead

Energy Relationships Energy is a one time commodity – every time it is used some escapes and becomes unusable More energy is needed to build an energy-storing molecule than is stored in the molecule. Energy is a one time commodity – every time it is used some escapes and becomes unusable More energy is needed to build an energy-storing molecule than is stored in the molecule.

How do organisms obtain their food? Autotrophs –“auto” = self –“troph” = nourishment Heterotrophs –“hetero” = others Autotrophs –“auto” = self –“troph” = nourishment Heterotrophs –“hetero” = others
6
Autotrophs Make their own food –They capture light energy and convert it into sugar –Ex: plants, algae, and some bacteria. Make their own food –They capture light energy and convert it into sugar –Ex: plants, algae, and some bacteria.

Heterotrophs Depend on other organisms for their energy source –Ex: humans, animals, fungi, and most bacteria. Depend on other organisms for their energy source –Ex: humans, animals, fungi, and most bacteria.

ATP – Adenosine Triphosphate Most energy sources (fats, carbohydrates) are large and must be broken down into smaller units (sugar – glucose) ATP stores energy in a usable form for all living organisms The bonds between the three phosphate groups are unstable high-energy covalent bonds Most energy sources (fats, carbohydrates) are large and must be broken down into smaller units (sugar – glucose) ATP stores energy in a usable form for all living organisms The bonds between the three phosphate groups are unstable high-energy covalent bonds

ATP
10
Energy Production When the bonds are broken, a large amount of energy is released (an exothermic reaction) and is available for use in any cellular function that requires energy (an endothermic reaction). ATP ADP + P + Energy When the bonds are broken, a large amount of energy is released (an exothermic reaction) and is available for use in any cellular function that requires energy (an endothermic reaction). ATP ADP + P + Energy

4A – 2 PHOTOSYNTHESIS The process of taking light energy and converting it into stored chemical energy
17
The sun is the source of energy for living things!
18
Photosynthesis Reaction Reaction converting light energy into stored chemical energy 6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 O + light energy C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 (Carbon (water) (glucose) (oxygen) dioxide) Reaction converting light energy into stored chemical energy 6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 O + light energy C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 (Carbon (water) (glucose) (oxygen) dioxide)
19
Green plants and algae perform this energy transformation in large enough quantities to provide stored chemical energy for most living organisms
20
Photosynthesis is important because… 1) It converts solar energy into usable chemical energy 2) It produces oxygen 1) It converts solar energy into usable chemical energy 2) It produces oxygen
21
Light Absorption Different wavelengths of visible light are seen by the human eye as different colors. The color we see is actually the color reflected. Different wavelengths of visible light are seen by the human eye as different colors. The color we see is actually the color reflected.
22
Chlorophyll a Primary catalyst of photosynthesis Green pigment in the grana of chloroplasts Becomes activated by light energy Primary catalyst of photosynthesis Green pigment in the grana of chloroplasts Becomes activated by light energy
23
Chlorophyll a Chlorophyll a is a blue green pigment – it reflects the blues and greens and absorbs the reds and violets
24
Chlorophyll b Is a yellow green pigment – that absorbs some of the same pigments as chlorophyll a as well as some of the blues not absorbed by chlorophyll a and reflects some of the yellow greens that chlorophyll a absorbs
25
Absorption Spectrum
26
The Process of Photosynthesis Requires sunlight and water Occurs in the grana of the chloroplast Produces: Oxygen, ATP and NADPH (electron carrier that stores energy for later use) Requires sunlight and water Occurs in the grana of the chloroplast Produces: Oxygen, ATP and NADPH (electron carrier that stores energy for later use) The Light-Dependent Phase
27
Light is NOT required Occurs in the stroma of the chloroplast Also called:“Dark phase,” “synthetic phase,” “Calvin cycle,” “carbon fixation cycle” Is dependent upon the products of the light phase (ATP and NADPH) and CO 2 from the atmosphere Light is NOT required Occurs in the stroma of the chloroplast Also called:“Dark phase,” “synthetic phase,” “Calvin cycle,” “carbon fixation cycle” Is dependent upon the products of the light phase (ATP and NADPH) and CO 2 from the atmosphere Photosynthesis: The Process Light-Independent Phase
29
Conditions for Photosynthesis Proper wavelengths of light Sufficient absorption of carbon dioxide Proper temperatures Proper amount of water Proper wavelengths of light Sufficient absorption of carbon dioxide Proper temperatures Proper amount of water

Chemosynthesis: Other autotrophs A few bacteria use inorganic chemicals (i.e. ammonia or sulfur) to obtain energy Ex. Symbiotic bacteria in tubeworms in hydrothermal vents convert chemical energy in sulfur into usable energy A few bacteria use inorganic chemicals (i.e. ammonia or sulfur) to obtain energy Ex. Symbiotic bacteria in tubeworms in hydrothermal vents convert chemical energy in sulfur into usable energy

36
Cellular Respiration Aerobic –Requires oxygen, is the opposite of photosynthesis, combines oxygen with sugar to release energy, carbon dioxide and water Anaerobic –Does not require oxygen

The Process of Cellular Respiration Glycolysis Citric Acid Cycle (Krebs Cycle) Hydrogen and Electron Transport System
40
Glycolysis All types of cellular respiration begin with glycolysis. Does not require oxygen Occurs in the cytoplasm
41
Glycolysis Breakdown of glucose into pyruvic acid, H +, and electrons 2 net ATP
42
Aerobic Cellular Respiration The products from glycolysis are sent to the mitochondria.

Aerobic Cellular Respiration 1. Citric Acid Cycle (Krebs Cycle) = Pyruvic acid is broken down into citric acid. −Pyruvic acid Acetyl CoA −Acetyl CoA Citric acid

2. Hydrogen and Electron Transport System −At the end of the chain, H combines with oxygen to form water. −Oxygen is the rate-limiting factor. Aerobic Cellular Respiration
