Metabolism
2
METABOLISM Biochemical processes in a living organism Metabolism Require energy
3
Proteins Large, complex molecules Critical roles in structure, function, and regulation of cells
4
ENZYMES Proteins that speed up chemical reactions Enzymes They are not consumed Enzymes that help build molecules Anabolism Enzymes that help break molecules bonds Catabolism Release energy
5
OXIDATION-REDUCTION REACTIONS The removal of one of more electrons from molecule Oxidation The gain of one or more electrons from molecule Reduction
6
PHOTOSYNTHESIS (PS) Metabolism requires energy Energy stored in molecules ATP
7
PHOTOSYNTHESIS (PS) Plants are solar powered Photosynthesis Chloroplasts
8
PHOTOSYNTHESIS (PS) Produce sugar molecule from carbon dioxide and water Oxygen is the byproduct
9
PHOTOSYNTHESIS (PS) Air is composed of 78% Nitrogen 21% Oxygen 0.037% Carbon dioxide Oceans hold a significant amount
10
PHOTOSYNTHESIS (PS) Carbon dioxide fertilization Pumped into greenhouses Increase yield 20%
11
PHOTOSYNTHESIS (PS) Water <1% of water absorbed by plants used in PS Majority is transpired Water is the source of electrons that drive the PS to create energy and sugar
12
PHOTOSYNTHESIS (PS) Light 40% of sunlight is visible Spectrum used by plants Violet to blue Red-orange PS takes place in chloroplasts Chlorophyll
13
PHOTOSYNTHESIS (PS) Light-Dependent Reactions Light strikes chlorophyll molecules Water molecules split apart Photolysis Release electrons (power) Hydrogen ions Oxygen gas Electrons passed along electron transport system ATP molecules are produced Energy molecules
14
PHOTOSYNTHESIS (PS) Light-Independent The Calvin Cycle H ions from light-dependent PS arrive on NADPH molecule H fixed to C from carbon dioxide Form carbon molecules Carbon molecules converted to glucose (sugar or carbohydrate) PLANT FOOD 3-carbon molecule C3 plants 4-carbon molecule C4 plants
15
PHOTOSYNTHESIS (PS) Light-Independent The Calvin Cycle C3 plants Adapted to mild climate Tolerate cold winters C4 plants Tropical or warm weather plants
16
PHOTOSYNTHESIS (PS) CAM Photosynthesis Crassulacean acid metabolism Succulents Desert plants Similar to C4 plants Most of the activity occurs at night when stomata are open More efficient use of CO2 Conserve water
17
RESPIRATION The release of energy from glucose Growth and maintenance Occurs 24 hours a day
18
RESPIRATION Glycolysis First major phase in respiration Glucose converted to fructose Addition of two phosphates Fructose is split into two 3-carbon molecules
19
RESPIRATION Glycolysis followed by either Aerobic respiration Most common Anaerobic respiration
20
RESPIRATION Aerobic respiration The citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle) Breaks down 3-carbon molecules from glycolysis High-energy electrons are released for use in the plant
21
RESPIRATION Aerobic respiration The electron transport system receives electrons from citric acid cycle Energy released along the way
22
RESPIRATION Oxygen is the final receptor of electrons Combine with hydrogen Water One glucose molecule yields 36 ATP molecules of energy
23
RESPIRATION Anaerobic respiration Lack of oxygen Wet conditions Not as efficient as aerobic respiration Net gain of 2 ATP energy molecules
24
RESPIRATION Temperature Respiration rates increase with temperature >68F Double or triple Always respiring Refrigerating fruit and vegetables Lower respiration rate Reduces microbial activity
25
RESPIRATION Water Required for PS and respiration Plant cells contain >90% water Seeds contain <10% Still respiring Store in dry, cool area
26
CARBOHYDRATES Glucose is a simple sugar Used to produce carbohydrates Longer, more complex molecules Sucrose Starch Cellulose
27
ASSIMILATION Use of carbohydrates to build cell walls and produce protoplasm Assimilation
28
DIGESTION Conversion carbohydrates into useable food Digestion
