2
Energy in a Cell
3
All Cells Need Energy Cells need energy to: –Make new molecules. –Build membranes and organelles. –Move molecules in and out of the cell. –Move.
4
Autotrophs (producers) Organisms that make their own food Use light energy from the sun to make food Example: PLANTS
5
Heterotrophs (consumers) Organisms that get energy from the foods they eat Example: ANIMALS
6
NOT a flashcard.
7
Where Does A Cell Get Energy? Food is broken down to a form the cell can use. Extra energy is stored in an ATP molecule.
8
ATP Adenosine triphosphate is a molecule made up of –adenine –ribose –3 phosphate groups. Adenine Ribose (ENERGY STORED HERE!)
9
ADP Adenosine diphosphate. Made up of –adenine –ribose –2 phosphate groups. Adenine Ribose
10
How Does ATP Work? Energy is stored in the bond between the second and third phosphate group. When the bond is broken, energy is released and ADP is formed. Adenine Ribose
11
Storing Energy Energy is stored by the cell when 1 phosphate is added to the end of an ADP molecule forming ATP. Adenine Ribose Adenine Ribose
12
2 Ways to make ENERGY! 1. Photosynthesis – takes place in the chloroplasts. 2. Cellular Respiration – takes place in the mitochondria.
13
Photosynthesis Autotrophs make their own food by trapping light energy and converting it to carbohydrates. Equation: 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O + sunlight C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2
14
The O 2 released by photosynthesis is made from the oxygen in water. Plants produce O 2 gas by splitting water 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O + sunlight C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 NOT a flashcard.
15
Cellular Respiration The process of breaking down food molecules to release energy. Occurs in the mitochondria. Equation: C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O + ENERGY
16
Compare The Equations! Photosynthesis: Cellular Respiration: 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O + sunlight C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O + ENERGY NOT a flashcard.
17
Two Types of Respiration Aerobic Respiration– requires oxygen. Anaerobic Respiration– requires an absence of oxygen.
18
The End Any questions?
19
Anaerobic Respiration Two types: –Fermentation – occurs when bacteria break down plants (vegetables and fruit) and release alcohol or vinegar. –Lactic Acid Fermentation – occurs in muscles – a buildup of lactic acid causes soreness.

21
Chemosynthesis Some autotrophs can convert inorganic substances to energy. Most are adapted to live in conditions where there is no oxygen. –Digestive tracts of mammals –Lake sediments –Marshes –Deep in the ocean
