2. ATP Why do we use it for Energy?

3. ATP: Adenosine Triphosphate Consists of Adenosine + 3 Phosphates Consists of Adenosine + 3 Phosphates Highly unstable molecule Highly unstable molecule 3 phosphates each highly negative repel each other (like the wrong end of a magnet) 3 phosphates each highly negative repel each other (like the wrong end of a magnet) Hence a phosphate group is removed through hydrolysis energy is released (-7.3 kcal/mole) and breaks down into the more stable molecule ADP. Hence a phosphate group is removed through hydrolysis energy is released (-7.3 kcal/mole) and breaks down into the more stable molecule ADP.

4. ATP: Pictures Where does the Negativity come from? Oxygen Oxygen I think he’s a bit unstable… don’t you?

5. How 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 negative PO 4 more difficult to add Each negative PO 4 more difficult to add a lot of stored energy in each bond a lot of stored energy in each bond most energy stored in 3rd P i = releases energy ∆G = -7.3 kcal/mole 3rd P i is hardest group to keep bonded to molecule Bonding of negative P i groups is unstable Bonding of negative P i groups is unstable spring-loaded spring-loaded P i groups “pop” off easily & release energy P i groups “pop” off easily & release energy Instability of its P bonds makes ATP an excellent energy donor AMP ADPATP

6. Can’t store ATP  good energy donor, not good energy storage too reactive transfers P i too easily only short term energy storage  carbohydrates & fats are long term energy storage ATP / ADP cycle A working muscle recycles over 10 million ATPs per second Whoa! Pass me the glucose (and O 2 )! ATP ADP PiPi + 7.3 kcal/mole cellular respiration

7. PHOTOSYNTHESIS.

8. CAPTURING THE ENERGY IN LIGHT The process by which organisms obtain energy directly from sunlight is called photosynthesis. 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O → C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2

9. ENERGY FOR LIFE PROCESSES Autotrophs: Plants, Algae, and some Bacteria. Autotrophs: Plants, Algae, and some Bacteria. Autotrophs store energy in various organic compounds, primarily carbohydrates.
