E N D
Objectives • Explain the interrelationships between the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration comparing and contrasting photosynthesis and cellular respiration reactions. • Determine what factors affect the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration (i.e., light intensity, availability of reactants, temperature).
Questions • What ultimately provides energy for living things? • What provides energy for us?
Autotrophs and Heterotrophs • Plants and other types of organisms are able to use light energy from the sun to produce food. • What is the difference between autotrophs and heterotrophs? • Give an example of an autotroph. • Give an example of a heterotroph. What are those organisms called?
Chemical Energy and ATP Who likes to burn Things??? (that may be a dumb question)
Chemical Energy and ATP • As you write you are “burning” fuel. • Living things use chemical fuels. • Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) – large carbon molecule with THREE PHOSPHATE GROUPS.
Releasing Energy • When you remove the third phosphate from ATP a large amount of energy is released. • Enough energy for active transport, protein synthesis, and muscle contraction. (Remind me to show you a picture of a guy with too much ATP/Steroids)
Storing Energy POP QUIZ – If adenosine triphosphate loses a phosphate, is it still ATP? Then what is it? (Adenosine diphosphate or ADP which still has energy…just not as much) NO

Closure • We have completed 8.1. • Photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration Vocabulary Worksheet. • We’ll continue with section 8.2 tomorrow. • Any questions or comments for the good of the cause?
