Energy • All organisms use energy to survive • Cells in your body use energy to maintain the organism in which they make up • Examples of different forms of energy
Cellular Energy • Cells get energy when the chemical bonds in food are broken such as glucose and starch. • The main form of cellular energy is Adenosine Triphosphate or ATP
Phosphates determine how much energy exists ADP: 2 phosphate groups
Energy is released when the 3rd phosphate group is broken off
How Chemical Equations Work What goes in What comes out
Cellular Respiration: How we get ATP • ATP is the molecule we use to get energy. Now, we need a process in order to get a bunch of ATP so we can use it as energy.
Cellular Respiration: Step 1 • Starts in the cytoplasm with glycolysis • Take one molecule of glucose and through a series of chemical reactions, we get 2 ATP molecules. • Glucose = C6H12O6 • Glucose Chemical Reactions 2 ATP
Cellular Respiration: Step 2 (2 possibilities) • Before step 2 takes place, you must ask a question. “Is oxygen present?”
Oxygen present? YES • Step 2 if oxygen is present goes to a process called Aerobic Respiration • Aerobic literally means ‘living in air’ • Aerobic Respiration is divided into 2 parts
Aerobic Respiration: Part 1 • Part 1 is called the Krebs Cycle • This takes place in the mitochondria and produces 2 more ATP
Aerobic Respiration: Part 2 • Part 2 of Aerobic Respiration is called the Electron Transport Chain • Take place in the mitochondria as well but produces 34 more ATP • Total ATP produced: 36 • Calculate: 2 + 2 + 34 - 2 = 36 Amount used up during process Krebs Cycle Electron Transport Chain Glycolysis
Chemical Equation for Aerobic Respiration 36 ATP Products Reactants
Oxygen present? No • If no oxygen is present, then Part 2 of Cellular Respiration goes to a process called Anaerobic Respiration • Produces only 2 ATP from one glucose molecule • Occurs in the cytoplasm • Two types of Anaerobic Respiration
Type 1: Lactic Acid Fermentation • Lactic acid builds up in your muscles after you do exercise.
Type 2: Alcoholic Fermentation • Used by plant cells and some microorganisms such as yeast • Produces ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide. Other names are ethanol, pure alcohol, drinking alcohol, and grain alcohol
Common products made through alcoholic fermentation • Wine through grapes • Mead through honey • Beer, whiskey, vodka through grain • Rum through sugarcane • Bread rises due to the formation of carbon dioxide

Energy: the source • Cells get their energy from converting glucose into ATP. • Glucose gets its energy from the main source, which is the sun. • Living things are divided into two categories
Two types of living things • Heterotrophs: organisms that must eat other organisms to survive (consumers) • Autotrophs: Organisms that use the energy directly from the sun (producers)
Photosynthesis • The process that uses the energy from the sun to change water and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen. • The equation for Photosynthesis Inorganic: cannot consume Organic: CAN consume
Fixing Carbon • Photosynthesis ‘fixes’ carbon so we can eat it though a process called carbon fixation
Photosynthesis: Part 1 • Light dependent reactions • Must have light • Chlorophyll, the green pigment in chloroplasts, absorbs sunlight. • This energy is used to convert ADP to ATP • Water molecules are split to form oxygen, hydrogen ions, and electrons
The ADP cousin • NADP: a molecule similar to ADP that carries hydrogen ions to the next step which then becomes NADPH O2 6CO2 + 6H2O NADP CO2 H+
Photosynthesis: Part 2 • This stage is called the Calvin Cycle also called light independent reaction • Light is NOT needed here C6H12O6 CO2 + H+
