A characteristic common to all living things is that they require Energy An organism needs E for: A cell needs E for:
What does the cell need energy for? • To move • To reproduce • To actively transport materials across the cell membrane (Ex. Endocytosis, exocytosis, sodium-potassium pumps) • To carry out chemical reactions
Organisms are classified by how they obtain Energy AUTOTROPHS – MAKE THEIR OWN FOOD HETEROTROPHS – GET FOOD BY EATING OTHER ORGANISMS
Photoautotroph • Organism that converts light energy into chemical energy stored in organic molecules CyanoBacteriaProtists (Algae) Plants
Chemoautotrophs Organisms that make food by using E from the breakdown of chemicals that escape out of deep ocean vents where there is no light
Heterotrophs –Organisms that eat other organisms to obtain energy and carbon compounds • Animals • Fungus • Some Protists • Most Bacteria ANIMALS
Where does this E come from? PHOTOSYNTHESIS and CELL RESPIRATION
In photosynthesis, sunlight E is transformed into chemical E stored in food molecules Starch Glucose
In cell respiration, the chemical E stored in food molecules is released in a form the cells can use.
What happens to the E released from food in cellular respiration? It is used to make high energy molecules called ATP
What is ATP? ATP stands for the molecule Adenosine Triphosphate
ATP is a high energy containing molecule used by all cells to do the work of life. • Sodium-Potassium Pump • Muscle contraction
adenosine triphosphate adenosine diphosphate ATP – ADP ATP – Adenosine Triphosphate ADP – Adenosine Diphosphate
phosphate removed The ATP – ADP cycle ATP –High energy molecule ADP –Low energy molecule
Removing a Phosphate - Release Energy “use the battery” ATP Energy + P + ADP Adding a Phosphate – Stores Energy “recharge battery” ADP + Energy + P ATP ATP = Fully charged battery ADP = Used up battery
ATP to ADP Recharging your body’s batteries
