1. Energy and Energy Transfer How the earth captures the sun’s energy and uses it to “do work”

2. What is energy? – ability to do work Cars need energy to move Animals need energy to grow, move, make noise, etc

3. Types of energy Mechanical energy –Move cilia, flagella, cytoskeleton, muscles Transport energy –Active transport – pumping ions and molecules across a membrane against the gradient Chemical energy (like ATP) –Stored in bonds. Can be used to start reactions that may not start spontaneously

4. Where do cars get energy? – from burning fuel –Specifically oil and gasoline

5. Chemical Energy is stored in fuels - Burning oil and gasoline release energy in the form of heat and light ; The energy also allows the car to move. - Gasoline is organic (C and H). When gasoline reacts with oxygen you get a combustion reaction. The products of ALL combustion reactions are carbon dioxide (CO2) and Water (H20)

6. What is our fuel? - Food! -Specifically Glucose (simple carb) -We disassemble glucose and put the energy from the bonds into ATP

7. Creating ATP

8. But where does the energy stored in glucose in our food come from? THE SUN!!!

9. Really? How? Let go through step by step. 1.Where did your glucose come from?

10. 2. How did the glucose get in the food? 3.How did she get the glucose?

11. 4. How did the glucose get in the grass? 5. Where did the energy to make the glucose come from?

12. SO, long story short, - the chloroplasts take energy from the sun and put it into a glucose molecule (Photosynthesis) - through the food chain, glucose gets passed from organism to organism - eventually mitochondria of some organism takes the energy back out, by breaking down the glucose (Cell respiration)

13. Types of Batteries Adenosine Triphosphate: ATP – cycles between ATP (high energy) and ADP (low energy) by adding or removing a phosphate

14. Types of Batteries Electron Carriers: cycle between low energy “empty” form and high energy “full” form by adding or removing electrons. –We can “empty” these electron carriers to charge ATP

15. Types of Batteries –There are three different electron carriers: NADPH; NADH and FADH2

16. Let’s start by getting the energy from the sun into the glucose molecule Photosynthesis

17. Key terms: Heterotrophs: Organisms that get food from somewhere else –Examples??

18. Autotrophs: organisms that make food for themselves –Photoautotrophs use light energy to make their food Examples? –Chemoautotrophs use the energy in inorganic compounds to make their food Examples?

19. Understanding a little about light is important! Refer to your “Science of light and Color” assignment to help!

20. Electromagnetic Spectrum

21. Where does photosynthesis happen http://dendro.cnre.vt.edu/forestbiology/pho tosynthesis.swfhttp://dendro.cnre.vt.edu/forestbiology/pho tosynthesis.swf Not all cells in a plant photosynthesize. Let’s take a moment to identify WHERE we would find chloroplasts

23. Photoautotrophs undergo Photosynthesis So what organelle is in their cells?

24. Granum (plural Grana) Thylakoid Stroma

25. What makes it Green? Pigment called Chlorophyll (There are two chlorophylls) A pigment is a substance that absorbs light

26. What color light bounces off chlorophyll? GREEN!!!

27. Carotenes and xanthophylls*: other plant pigments (orange and yellow) that absorb different wavelengths of sunlight than the chlorophylls do. When can we see these?? * ZAN-tho-fills FALL!!!

28. Overall SUMMARY Reaction Photosynthesis requires MANY reactions but we can summarize it with the following reaction What other molecules participate in the reaction? Why is energy shown “not in the reaction”? 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O  + 6O 2 (Glucose) C 6 H 12 O 6

29. Getting CO2 and Water into the leaf Stomata (plural) Root Hairs

30. How does energy get into the leaf? Some light is transmitted (passes through) as well. What colors are reflected? Absorbed? The peaks are wavelengths that are ABSORBED by the leaf. What colors are absorbed?

31. What type of cells absorb light energy? MESOPHYLL CELLS contain chloroplasts

32. Two Phases of Photosynthesis Light reactions: need light; - uses light energy to “charge” two energy molecules: ATP and NADPH - proteins needed for the reaction are embedded in the thylakoid membrane - Uses: 6H 2 Oproduces: 6O 2

33. How does this work? http://www.stolaf.edu/people/giannini/flashanimat/metab olism/photosynthesis.swfhttp://www.stolaf.edu/people/giannini/flashanimat/metab olism/photosynthesis.swf What component of water travels along the membrane and is utilized to form NADPH? What component of water travels back and forth THROUGH the membrane and is utilized to form ATP? YOU NEED TO KNOW THE ANSWERS TO THESE TWO QUESTIONS!

34. Two Phases of Photosynthesis Calvin cycle: doesn’t need light; - Uses the ATP and NADPH “charged” by the light reactions (carry energy) to link CO 2 together to build C 6 H 12 O 6 - Enzymes for the Calvin cycle are found in the stroma Reactant: 6CO 2 Product: C 6 H 12 O 6

35. Putting it Together

36. The poetry of photosynthesis http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/nature/phot osynthesis.htmlhttp://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/nature/phot osynthesis.html

37. What wavelengths of light are absorbed? Which pigments?

38. Thylakoid membrane Photosystems:groups of pigments Light splits water (H+ and e-) Proton gradient  ATP NADP carries electrons ATP and NADPH end up in stroma Water starts inside the thylakoids

39. Glucose will do one of two things: 1.Move to the mitochondria to be converted into ATP through Cell respiration 2. Go through dehydration synthesis to build a big starch chain and be stored for future use

40. Follow the Energy Where did the energy start? Where did it go next? Where is it at the end of photosynthesis?

41. Factors that affect Photosynthesis Light intensity (how bright/strong) Wavelength (color of light) Temperature: 0 – 35 degrees C Water CO2 levels Why do each of these affect photosynthesis?

42. Why Mistletoe at Christmas? Druids (100 AD) thought that Mistletoe could help cure diseases and protect people from witches. They even thought it could help people and animals have more babies. So the Druids had a special ceremony that would happen in late December or early January. Priests would cut mistletoe out of oak trees and then give the mistletoe to people to hang in their houses so that it would ward off evil spirits.

43. Why kissing? The Vikings! (800 BCE) had a lot of gods (like the Greeks did). One of their gods -- Balder -- was killed with a poison made from mistletoe. His mother -- Frigga -- was able to bring him back to life after three days by reversing the effects of the poison. Once she did that, she kissed everyone who walked under mistletoe because she was so happy to get her son back.

44. EXCEPTIONS Some protists are heterotrophic and photosynthetic Some plants are heterotrophic and photosynthetic Some plants are parasitic and photosynthetic.

45. Exceptions to the Rules: Autotrophic Bacteria: –Example: Cyanobacteria (“Blue” bacteria)

46. Exceptions to the Rules: Autotrophic Protists: –Example: Volvox and Euglena

47. Exceptions to the Rules: Heterotrophic plants: some plants can get some food from other organisms – EXAMPLE: Mistletoe: makes food (PS) AND takes sap (high in sugar) from other trees Hemi - parasite

48. Exceptions to the Rules: Venus Flytrap: traps and digests insects as a food source

49. Exceptions to the Rules: Dodder plant: roots grow into other plants and steals water and glucose

50. How do we get the energy back out? Cell Respiration – a series of chemical reactions that extract energy from glucose to “charge” ADP to make ATP. Starts in the cytoplasm and ends in the mitochondria.

51. How do we get the energy back out?

52. Overall reaction + 6O 2  6CO 2 + 6H 2 O C 6 H 12 O 6 ATP

54. Two types of Cellular Respiration Anaerobic: no free oxygen required - performed by most bacteria - Also by yeast and animal cells when lacking O2 - two steps: Glycolysis, fermentation - makes 2 ATP per glucose

56. Two types of Cellular Respiration Aerobic: requires FREE oxygen, O2 gas to get ATP from glucose – three steps: glycolysis, krebs, electron transport chain – performed by plants, animals, yeast, protists, fungus. –Generates 36 ATP per glucose

57. Anaerobic step 1: Glycolysis Occurs in cytoplasm Summary: split glucose in half to charge a few ATP and NADH Reaction: Glucose  2 pyruvate Energy molecules used: 2ATP Energy molecules made: 4ATP and 2NADH

58. Fermentation Occurs in cytoplasm Summary: “empty” the NADH so we can repeat glycolysis with the next glucose –2Pyruvate  CO2 and Ethanol (yeast) or - 2Pyruvate  Lactic Acid (bacteria and muscle cells) NO MORE ATP CHARGED!

59. ATP Tallies: Anaerobic: - Glycolysis: used 2, made 4 - Fermentation: used 0, made 0 Total: +2 per glucose

60. Aerobic step 1: Glycolysis SAME AS STEP 1 OF ANAEROBIC!

61. Krebs Occurs in mitochondria Summary: break down pyruvate into CO2; use energy in pyruvate to charge ATP, NADH and FADH2

62. Krebs Reaction: –2Pyruvate  2Acetyl-CoA + 2CO 2 –2Acetyl-CoA  4CO 2 –Energy molecules made: 2ATP + 2FADH + 8NADH –Can bacteria do Krebs??

63. Electron Transport Chain Occurs in mitochondria Summary: Gather up ALL the electron carriers and “empty” them to “charge” lots of ATP

64. Electron Transport Chain Reaction: –O2  H2O Energy molecules USED: 10 NADH (from krebs and glycolysis) + 2 FADH (from krebs) Energy molecules MADE: 32 ATP

65. ATP Tallies: Aerobic: - Glycolysis: used 2, made 4 - Krebs: used 0, made 2 - ETC: used 0, made 32 Total: +36 ATP per glucose

66. Overall Energy Summary for Aerobic Respiration Glucose + 2ATP  2 Pyruvate + 4ATP + 2NADH Reactants (used up/broken down) Products (created/built up) 2 Pyruvate  2CO2 + 2Acetyl-CoA + 2NADH 2Acetyl-CoA  6NADH + 2FADH2 + 2ATP+ 4CO2 10NADH + 2FADH2 + 6O2  32ATP + 6CO2 + 6H2O What’s Left?  Final Reaction for Aerobic Respiration

67. Putting it together: Chloroplast Sun Mitochondria C 6 H 12 O 6 + O2 CO2 + H2O 36ATP
