Energy represents the capacity to do work. Cells must acquire energy from their environment. In life, energy transformations consist primarily of movement of molecules and changes in chemical bonds. Metabolism is the set of chemical reactions that happen in living organisms to maintain life Catabolism Releasing energy by breaking down of larger molecules into smaller ones Digestion Anabolism Storing energy by creating larger molecules from smaller ones. Creating body fat 2 Types Ch.8 – Cellular Energy 8.1 – How organisms obtain energy

All living cells use adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for capture, transfer, and storage of energy. Ch.8 – Cellular Energy 8.1 – How organisms obtain energy Each cell needs millions of ATP molecules per second in order to drive its biochemical machinery

Ch.8 – Cellular Energy 8.2 – Photosynthesis

Ch.8 – Cellular Energy 8.2 – Photosynthesis The light reactions (in the thylakoids) split water, release O 2, produce ATP, and form NADPH The Calvin cycle (in the stroma) forms sugar from CO 2, using ATP and NADPH The Calvin cycle begins with carbon fixation, incorporating CO 2 into organic molecules 3PGA Glucose

Ch.8 – Cellular Energy 8.2 – Photosynthesis Light Reaction Movie Red light is very important to plant reproduction. Phytochrome pigments absorb the red and far red portions of the light spectrum and regulate seed germination, root development, tuber and bulb formation, dormancy, flowering and fruit production. Therefore, red light is essential for stimulation of flowering and fruiting. Blue light stimulates Chlorophyll production more than any other colour, encouraging thick leaves, strong stems and compact vegetative growth. Chlorophyll absorbs blue and red light and transmits the energy to a pigment-based electron transport chain. The energy is ultimately used to produce high-energy chemical bonds that can be used for a range of biochemical transformations, including fixation of carbon-dioxide into sugars. Carotenoids, the yellow-orange pigment in plants, absorb blue light and control leaf fall and fruit ripening. Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) absorbs violet light and influences "phototropism", the movement of plant foliage in response to light.Chlorophyll

Ch.8 – Cellular Energy 8.2 – Photosynthesis Photosystem II Light energy is used to split an H 2 O molecule When H 2 O splits -O 2 is released -protons (H + ions) stay in the thylakoid space & -an activated electron enters the electron transport chain.
11
Ch.8 – Cellular Energy 8.2 – Photosynthesis Electron Transport Chain Electrons are moved through the thlakoid membrane and more protons are pumped into the thylakoid space
12
Ch.8 – Cellular Energy 8.2 – Photosynthesis Photosystem I Light reenergizes the electrons The reenergized electon is transferred to NADP + Reductase to form an NADPH from NADP +
13
Ch.8 – Cellular Energy 8.2 – Photosynthesis Chemiosmosis Protons build up in the thylakoid space and create a concentration gradient Protons then move across the thylakoid membrane through ATP synthase which causes ADP to convert to ATP Light Reactions Animation

Ch.8 – Cellular Energy 8.2 – Photosynthesis 1.What is the basic formula of photosynthesis? 2.How did plants acquire photosynthesis in evolution? Name three features of chloroplasts that are indicative of their origin. (It is referred to as endosymbiosis or the endosymbiotic theory) ClickClick 3.Photosynthesis can be divided in two different processes. What are these processes? What are their products and reactants? 4.Oxygen is released during photosynthetic light reactions. Where is this oxygen coming from? NameReactantsProducts Light Dependant Light & H 2 O (NADP+ & ADP) O 2 (NADPH & ATP) Light Independent or Calvin Cycle CO 2 (NADPH & ATP) Glucose (NADP+ & ADP) The splitting of H 2 O in Photosystem II

Ch.8 – Cellular Energy 8.2 – Photosynthesis 5.What is the driving force for ATP synthesis at the ATP synthase multi-protein complex? 6.Where do you find a higher pH value, inside or outside of the thylakoid? 7. Which process creates NADPH from NADP + ? The proton concentration gradient created by splitting water and the electron transport chain Outside There is a much higher concentration of H + ions in the thylakoid. This creates an acidic environment and thus a lower pH than in the stroma of the chloroplasts Photosystem I Energized e - are transferred to the enzyme NADP + Reductase
