1. Energy and matter transformations in cells

2. Warm-up Energy: What is the source of energy for all ecosystems? What type of molecule is made by this energy?

3. What powers a cell? Cells require energy to do work. This energy is stored in molecules called “ATP”. Think of ATP as like a little battery. ATP is used to by all cells to do work

4. Our guiding question The energy source for nearly all ecosystems is the sun The energy source for nearly all cellular processes is ATP How is energy from the sun transformed and stored in molecules of ATP to be used for cellular work? Sun ATP PPP

5. Our guiding question We will learn the processes that convert solar energy into other forms of energy and eventually to ATP.

6. Some review of energy terms/concepts Potential energy and Kinetic energy Energy cant be created or destroyed but can be converted to other forms. Forms of energy: –Nuclear, Mechanical, Gravitational, Heat, Electrical, Sound, Light, Chemical What are some examples of conversions between these different forms?

7. Your cell phone is powered by energy stored in water How can you explain this? How did you charge the battery? Where does that electrical energy come from? How is water used to generate the electrical energy? Apply the terms about energy correctly when explaining the answer.

8. Your cell phone is powered by energy stored in water Dam Reservoir Generators River Cell phone charger

9. Energy transformations from water in a reservoir to a cell phone Reservoir River MECHANICAL ENERGY to turn generators ELECTRICAL ENERGY through wires ELECTRO- CHEMICAL ENERGY stored in battery Sending and receiving calls; lights & ring tones MORE stored energy LESS stored energy

10. How does the reservoir get “recharged”? The energy stored in the water behind the reservoir dam would run out if the water were not returned to the reservoir How does water move from the river back into the reservoir? What is the source of energy for this process?

11. How does the reservoir get “recharged”? Cell phone charger Dam Evaporation Precipitation Reservoir Generators River

12. Energy and matter conversions that power a cell phone We’ll discuss energy and matter concepts in this context and then apply them to biology.

13. MORE stored energy Water in the reservoir above the dam has more stored energy (potential energy) than water in the river below the dam Reservoir

14. LESS stored energy Water in the reservoir above the dam has more stored energy (potential energy) than water in the river below the dam River

15. Water above dam Water below dam MORE stored energy LESS stored energy Water in the reservoir above the dam has more stored energy (potential energy) than water in the river below the dam River Reservoir

16. MECHANICAL KINETIC ENERGY to turn generators OUTPUT ENERGY MORE stored energy LESS stored energy Reservoir River HEAT ENERGY from the sun INPUT ENERGY Evaporation & precipitation Water cycles between different forms as energy is converted

17. Matter cycles as energy is transformed Reservoir River MECHANICAL KINETIC ENERGY to turn generators ELECTRICAL KINETIC ENERGY through wires ELECTRICAL POTENTIAL ENERGY stored in battery Sending and receiving calls; lights & ring tones MORE stored energy LESS stored energy HEAT ENERGY from the sun

18. HEAT ENERGY from the sun Sending and receiving calls; lights & ring tones Heat energy from the sun is transformed into energy for powering a cell phone

19. Conservation of matter Matter is not created or destroyed The water does not disappear when it absorbs heat energy and evaporates, it simply changes form from liquid to gas Heat energy does not “turn into” water, it simply allows water to change positions from the river to above the dam Matter cycles between different forms

20. How does energy for cell phones relate to energy for living cells? The principles governing matter and energy transformations for cell phones… HEAT ENERGY LIGHT ENERGY FOR CELLULAR WORK …are the same for energy and matter transformations in living cells… …and are the same for ALL systems!

21. ATP and energy used by cells Cells use energy stored in the form of a molecule called ATP All other sources of energy must be converted and stored in molecules of ATP to be used by cells Consider the cell phone as an analogy: Cell phones only use electrical energy stored in the battery All other sources of energy must be converted and stored in the battery to be used by the phone

22. What is ATP? ADENOSINE “A” PHOSPHATE “P”

23. P ADENOSINE “A” PHOSPHATE “P”

24. P Adenosine (A) 1 phosphate (P) “mono-phosphate”

38. Conservation of matter Matter is not created or destroyed The atoms do not disappear when ATP is used for cellular work, they simply break apart and rearrange into ADP and P Chemical energy does not “turn into” ATP, it simply allows ADP and P to join together and rearrange to build ATP Matter cycles between different forms
