2. Energy is all around you! You can hear energy as sound. You can see energy as light. And you can feel it as wind.

3. Nature of Energy You use energy when you: hit a softball. lift your backpack. compress a spring.

4. Forms of Energy There are several forms energy can take: Heat Electromagnetic Nuclear Mechanical Chemical Light

5. So…. What is Energy? Energy- the ability to do work. Can be converted from one type of energy to another. Ex. Gas in your car is burned to create mechanical energy(motion) Ex. Solar energy cells turn light energy into electrical energy

6. Nature of Energy Living organisms need energy for growth and movement. Living organisms mainly use Light and Chemical Energy.

7. Photosynthesis Photosynthesis- process in which plants convert light energy into chemical energy(food). Occurs in the leaves of plants in organelles called chloroplasts.

8. Photosynthesis-starts all ecological food webs!

9. Travels up from the roots WATER CARBON DIOXIDE Enters the leaf through small holes on the underneath SUNLIGHT Gives the plant energy CHLOROPHYLL The green stuff in chloroplasts that convert light energy to chemical energy by combining water (H 2 O)and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) to create glucose (C 6 H12O 6 ) Things needed for photosynthesis

10. How do we know that plants make food from just carbon dioxide, water and light energy? For example: Jan Baptist van Helmont (1648) planted a willow tree weighing 5 pounds into 200 pounds of soil and then after 5 years the tree weighed 169 pounds and the soil was still nearly 200 lbs. Experiments!!

11. Water(6 H 2 O) + carbon dioxide(6 CO 2 ) glucose(C 6 H 12 O 6 ) + oxygen(6 O 2 ) Photosynthesis Equation CO 2 + H 2 O  C 6 H 12 O 6 + O 2 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O  C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2

12. Starch, Protein and Oil Synthesis Glucose is a short term energy molecule for plants when burned up by cellular respiration in mitochondria Plants convert glucose to starches, proteins and oils for storage by a process called dehydration synthesis. This process occurs in plastids in the cell.

13. How do Cells get Energy ? Energy for living things comes from food. Originally, the energy in food comes from the sun. Whether you are an autotroph- make your own food or a heterotroph- eat your food … All organisms burn up food for daily energy needs.

14. Proteins- digested into amino acids Lipids- digested into fatty acids and glycerol Carbohydrates- digested into glucose Types of Food(Macromolecules) All 3 types of food can be used for energy, but glucose is the main energy molecule used.

15. Cells cannot use glucose directly for energy. Glucose must be converted into another energy molecule called ATP, Adenosine Triphosphate Cells Use Energy The conversion of glucose to ATP occurs in the mitochondria and is called cellular respiration.

16. Cellular Respiration- burning up glucose to create ATP Burning something requires oxygen Organisms take in oxygen(O 2 ) so they can burn up glucose during cellular respiration.

17. Cellular Respiration Equation Glucose(C 6 H 12 O 6 ) + oxygen (O 2 ) water(H 2 O) + carbon dioxide(CO 2 ) C 6 H 12 O 6 + O 2 CO 2 + H 2 O C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 6 CO 2 + 6H 2 O So…. Where’s the ATP ??

18. Cellular Respiration Equation C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O The ATP energy is produced by splitting the glucose molecule. It takes 2 ATP molecules to split the high energy bond of glucose, releasing 38 ATP molecules. 38 ATP – 2 ATP = a net of 36 ATP 2 ATP = 36 Net ATP

19. Pause for a moment…?? Where have I seen these letters before??? They look so familiar??? … I know, I remember ….. The equation for cellular respiration is the exact opposite of the equation for photosynthesis. Isn’t life symmetrical!! C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O 6CO 2 + 6H 2 0 C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 Cellular respiration Photosynthesis

20. Cellular Respiration Equation C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O This type of cellular respiration is called Aerobic Respiration- converting glucose to ATP in the presence of oxygen. Produces 36 molecules of ATP 2 ATP = 36 Net ATP

22. Aerobic Respiration mostly occurs in the mitochondria Glucose Glycolysis Electron Transport Chain 2 Krebs Cycle Mitochondria In Cytoplasm 232 Electrons carried in NADH Electrons carried in NADH and FADH 2

24. Energy Tally 36 ATP for aerobic vs. 2 ATP for anaerobic Glycolysis 2 ATP Kreb’s 2 ATP Electron Transport32 ATP 36 ATP

25. Anaerobic Respiration: occurs when no oxygen is available to the cell (2 kinds: Alcoholic and Lactic Acid) Also called fermentation Much less ATP produced than in aerobic respiration

26. Alcoholic fermentation—occurs in bacteria and yeast Process used in the baking and brewing industry—yeast produces CO 2 gas during fermentation to make dough rise and give bread its holes glucose ethyl alcohol + carbon dioxide + 2 ATP

27. Lactic acid fermentation—occurs in muscle cells Lactic acid is produced in the muscles during rapid exercise when the body cannot supply enough oxygen to the tissues—causes burning sensation in muscles glucose lactic acid + carbon dioxide + 2 ATP

28. How do Cells Use ATP All energy is stored in the bonds of compounds—breaking the bond releases the energy. Breaking the bond on the 3 rd phosphate releases energy for the cell to use. When the cell has food energy available it can “recharge” the molecule by adding a phosphate group back to ADP, producing ATP

29. Energy from ATP is released for when a phosphate molecule is removed creating a lower energy molecule called ADP.

30. Energy from glucose(cellular respiration) is used to push the loose phosphate molecule back to create high energy ATP.
