AP Biology 11/23/2015 The Point is to Make ATP! ATP Making energy!
3
AP Biology 11/23/2015 Energy needs of life Organisms are endergonic systems What do we need energy for? synthesis (biomolecules) reproduction active transport movement temperature regulation
4
AP Biology Transformations between kinetic and potential energy More potential energy. Potential energy converted to kinetic energy. Kinetic Energy Converted to Potential Energy Less potential energy
5
AP Biology 11/23/2015 energy Where do we get the energy from? Work of life is done by energy coupling use exergonic (catabolic) reactions to fuel endergonic (anabolic) reactions ++ energy + +
6
AP Biology The two laws of thermodynamics (a) First law of thermodynamics: Energy can be transferred or transformed but neither created nor destroyed. Second law of thermodynamics: Every energy transfer or transformation increases the disorder (entropy) of the universe. (b) Chemical energy Heat co 2 H2OH2O +
7
AP Biology H 2 + 1 / 2 O 2 2 H 1 / 2 O 2 (from food via NADH) 2 H + + 2 e – 2 H + 2 e – H2OH2O 1 / 2 O 2 Controlled release of energy for synthesis of ATP ATP Electron transport chain Free energy, G (b) Cellular respiration (a) Uncontrolled reaction Free energy, G H2OH2O Explosive release of heat and light energy + How Food Becomes Energy

AP Biology Where do we get the energy from? Work of life is done by energy coupling use exergonic (catabolic) reactions to fuel endergonic (anabolic) reactions ++ energy + + digestion synthesis
9
AP Biology 11/23/2015 Living economy Fueling the economy eat high energy organic molecules (food) break them down = catabolism (digest) capture energy in form cell can use Need an energy currency a way to pass energy around ATP Whoa! Hot stuff!
10
AP Biology 11/23/2015 ATP Adenosine Triphosphate modified nucleotide adenine + ribose + P i AMP AMP + P i ADP ADP + P i ATP an RNA nucleotide How efficient! Build once, use many ways
11
AP Biology 11/23/2015 Why does ATP store energy? P O–O– O–O– O –O–O P O–O– O–O– O –O–O P O–O– O–O– O –O–O P O–O– O–O– O –O–O P O–O– O–O– O –O–O P O–O– O–O– O –O–O P O–O– O–O– O –O–O P O–O– O–O– O –O–O Each P i group more difficult to add a lot of stored energy in each bond most stored in 3rd P i ∆G = -7.3 kcal/mole Close packing of negative P i groups I think he’s a bit unstable… don’t you? spring-loaded instability of its P bonds makes ATP an excellent energy donor
12
AP Biology 11/23/2015 How does ATP transfer energy? P O–O– O–O– O –O–O P O–O– O–O– O –O–O P O–O– O–O– O –O–O energy P O–O– O–O– O –O–O + Phosphorylation when ATP does work, it transfers its 3rd P i to other molecules ATP ADP releases energy ∆G = -7.3 kcal/mole it destabilizes the other molecule Why is 3rd phosphate like a baaad boyfriend?
13
AP Biology 11/23/2015 it’s never that simple! An example of Phosphorylation… Building polymers from monomers need ATP for energy & to take the water out C H OH H OHOH C C H O H C + H2OH2O + +4.2 kcal/mol C H OH + C H P + ATPADP -7.3 kcal/mol H OHOH C C H O H C + + C H P PiPi -3.1 kcal/mol “kinase” enzyme
14
AP Biology 11/23/2015 glucose C-C-C-C-C-C fructose-6P P-C-C-C-C-C-C-P DHAP P-C-C-C PGAL C-C-C-P 2 ATP 2 ADP Another example of Phosphorylation… The first steps of cellular respiration beginning the breakdown of glucose ATP those phosphates sure make it uncomfortable around here enzyme 1 enzyme 3enzyme 4 enzyme 5 enzyme 6 enzyme 2
15
AP Biology 11/23/2015 ATP / ADP cycle A working muscle recycles over 10 million ATPs per second Whoa! Pass me the glucose & oxygen! Can’t store ATP too reactive transfers P i too easily only short term energy storage carbs & fats are long term energy storage
16
AP Biology 11/23/2015 What’s the point? Cells spend a lot of time making ATP! “The point is to make ATP!” I didn’t HEAR you! Make ATP! That’s all I do all day. And no one even notices!
