adenosine. triphosphate. tri=3. adenosine. diphosphate. di=2. Chemical Energy for Cells. Chemical energy for cells comes in 2 forms: ATP= Adenosine Tri phosphate (high energy) ADP= Adenosine Di phosphate (lower energy). Different foods provide different amounts of ATP:

Different foods provide different amounts of ATP: • Fats store the most energy. • about 146 ATP from a triglyceride • Carbohydrates are the molecules most commonly broken down to make ATP. • Up to 36 ATP from one glucose molecule • Proteins are least likely to be broken down to make ATP, but have about the same amount of energy as a carbohydrate.
Chemical Energy in Plants • Plants are producers because they produce their own chemical energy through photosynthesis. • Photosynthesis is a process that captures sunlight to make sugars (=carbs) for chemical energy. • Photosynthesis happens in the chloroplast organelle (in leaf cells).
grana (thylakoids) chloroplast stroma • grana/granum(pl.) • (made up of thylakoids containing chlorophyll) • stroma • (fluid outside grana) Photosynthesis takes place in two parts of chloroplasts. thylakoid
Photosynthesis Equation: 6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlightC6H12O6 + 6O2 Sugar (glucose) 2 parts of Photosynthesis: • Light-Dependent reactions take place in/across thylakoid. (Sunlight and water are used to produce ATP and give off oxygen) • Light-Independent reactions take place in the stroma. (AKA: Calvin Cycle) (ATP and carbon dioxide are used to produce sugars)

Respiration • Cellular Respiration is the opposite of photosynthesis: C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2+ 6H2O+ ATP(energy) * This is an aerobic process- it NEEDS oxygen
3 major steps: • Glycosis: NOT in mitochondia(in cytoplasm of cell) =anaerobic process to make ATP In mitochondria: 2) Krebs cycle (in matrix): makes small amount of ATP, releases carbon dioxide 3) Electron transport (in inner membranes): makes ATP and releases water
