  1. Energy In A Cell Cellular Respiration Photosynthesis

  2. The Need for Energy • 1. All cells use energy for life processes. • 2. Where do cells get energy? Food • 3. What is the original energy source for most organisms? Sun • Autotrophs-make their own food from the sun’s energy. Ex: Plants • Heterotrophs-organisms unable to make their own food; they depend on other organisms for a source of food. Ex: animals, fungi

  3. Autotroph Sun Heterotroph

  4. Energy for Life Processes • There are 2 stages in the passage of energy from the sun to the cells: • Stage 1: Photosynthesis • The process of plants taking CO2 from the atmosphere along with water from the soil to produce O2 gas and glucose • This process converts sunlight into chemical energy.

  5. Energy for Life Process Cont. • Stage 2 Cellular Respiration • The process of taking oxygen gas from the atmosphere and glucose from food molecules to produce CO2, H2O, and energy in the form ATP. • **This process occurs in the mitochondria and the cytoplasm of cells.** • This process does not occur in prokaryotes, since they do not have mitochondria. Cellular Respiration takes in food to give us energy!! This player really needed ENERGY!

  6. State Test Question • Many cell processes cannot directly use the energy from food. Which organelles covert food energy to a form that can be used by the cell? • Endoplasmic reticulum • Golgi body • Ribosomes • Mitochondria

  7. Energy For Life Processes Cont. • Most organisms depend on cellular respiration and photosynthesis to provide energy directly or indirectly. • The alternation of photosynthesis and cellular respiration results in the continuous recycling of CO2 and O2.

  8. ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)- Stores Energy • ATP is found in all living things, and it is able to absorb energy and release it when needed by a cell. • There are 3 parts of the ATP molecule: 1. Adenine-a nitrogen containing molecule 2. Ribose-a 5-carbon sugar 3. 3 phosphate groups *The adenine combines with ribose to form adenosine.*

  9. State Test Question Energy from food sources drives the production of ATP. Why is this molecule essential in all living cells? • It is the main energy source for most cellular processes. • It is the basis of DNA. • It is a structural component found in cell walls. • It is required for osmosis and diffusion.

  10. Some related terms: • AMP (Adenosine Monophosphate)- identical to ATP except it has 1 phosphate group. • ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate)- identical to ATP except it has 2 phosphate groups • ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)- The bond holding together the last 2 phosphates is a high-energy bond. When the bond is broken, a tremendous amount of energy is released for use by the cell. After the bond is broken, the remaining molecule holds only two phosphate groups. It is now called ADP. ADP can absorb energy, use this energy to add another phosphate, and become ATP again. ATP allows the cell to use its energy a little at a time.

  11. BOOM! A – P ~ P~P A – P ~ P ~ P A – P ~ + Energy ATP ADP + Energy Note: When a bond is broken, energy is released. When cells break down food molecules, some of the energy in the molecules is released as heat. Much of the remaining energy is stored temporarily in molecules of ATP. High Energy Bond *Energy is stored in high energy bonds

  12. State Test Question ATP is continuously regenerated from ADP when energy released by cellular respiration is used in an endergonic reaction. Energy stored in food is released when— • chemical bonds are broken. • atomic nuclei are split. • elements combine. • electrons are produced.

  13. State Test Question ATP is called the energy currency for cells because it— • is a constantly renewing source of energy. • is the ultimate source of energy on Earth. • is the exchange molecule for energy transfers. • provides energy for exergonic reactions.

  14. State Test Question The process of breaking down ATP to ADP is termed— • fermentation. • an exergonic reaction. • an endergonic reaction. • a synthesis reaction.

  15. State Test Question Energy for most cellular processes is obtained by breaking a bond between which two components of ATP? • Phosphate and nitrogen • Phosphate and carbon • Phosphate and adenosine • Phosphate and phosphate

  16. State Test Question Which of the following is needed to transfer and release energy? • Calcium • Phosphate • Nitrate • Potassium

  17. State Test Question Energy stored in food is released when— • chemical bonds are broken. • atomic nuclei are split. • elements combine. • electrons are produced.

  18. Photosynthesis: Photosynthesis provides energy for almost all life. • Equation: • 6CO2 + 6H2O+ sunlight C6H12O6 + 6O2 • Photosynthesis Occurs in 2 Phases: • Phase 1 is the light reaction • Phase 2 is the dark reaction (The Calvin Cycle)

  19. Phase 1. The light reaction: • Stage 1: Energy is captured from sunlight. • Pigment molecules in the thylakoids of chloroplasts absorb light energy, energy transferred to electrons in the chlorophyll • Stage 2: Light energy is converted to chemical energy • Excited electrons that leave chlorophyll molecules are used to produce new molecules that temporarily store chemical energy, including ATP. AN excited electron jumps to a nearby molecule in the thylakoid membrane • Then the electron is passed through a series of molecules along the thylakoid membrane like a ball being passed down a line of people. The series of molecules through which excited electrons are passed along a thylakoid membrane are called electron transport chains. • While one electron transport chain provides energy used to make ATP, a second electron transport chain provides energy used to make NADPH

  20. State Test Question The light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis use the Sun’s energy to produce— • glucose. • chemical energy. • carbon dioxide. • water.

  21. The light reaction (Stage 1 and 2) produces the O2 gas and the energy ATP+NADPH for the Dark reaction-Calvin cycle.

  22. State Test Question In the light-dependent phase of photosynthesis, energy from the Sun is used to drive the production of which of the following molecules? • Proteins • Carbohydrates • ATP • ADP

  24. State Test Question The glucose produced during photosynthesis is an example of a— • lipid. • monosaccharide. • protein. • nucleic acid.

  25. State Test Quesiton When excess sugar is produced in a plant, the plant will— • release the sugar into the soil. • convert the sugar into minerals. • store the sugar by forming larger molecules. • burn the leaves of the plant as it releases energy.

  26. State Test Question Because most plants are able to undergo photosynthesis, they do NOT— • require carbon dioxide. • store energy for later use. • undergo cellular respiration. • depend on other organisms for energy.

  30. Phase 2: The Dark Reaction: Calvin Cycle • CO2 enters the leaf through hundreds of small pores. • A three-carbon sugars is used to make organic compounds-including carbohydrates such as sucrose and starch in which energy is stored for later use. So, this excess sugar is stored for use later. • ***The dark reaction-Calvin cycle produces the organic compound C6H12O6-glucose

  33. Cellular Respiration • The process of taking O2 gas from the atmosphere and glucose from food molecules to produce CO2, H2O and energy in the form of ATP. Cellular Respiration produces ATP. Food molecule are broken down to release the energy in their bonds. Glucose is the energy source for cellular respiration. Respiration occurs in the cytoplasm; glycolysis) in the mitochondria (Citric Acid Cycle/ Krebs’ Cycle.)

  34. Gives off Carbon Dioxide Takes in Oxygen Gives off water Takes in Glucose from food molecules Releases energy in the from of ATP Cellular Respiration

  35. Metabolic process that require oxygen are called aerobic. • Metabolic process that do NOT require oxygen are called anaerobic meaning “without air”. • A. Equation: C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP Cellular Respiration Aerobic respiration = oxygen Sore muscles = anaerobic respiration

  38. Cellular Respiration (Aerobic Respiration with Oxygen) Occurs in 2 phases: • Phase 1 is Glycolysis (Anaerobic) • Phase 2 is the Citric Acid Cyle/Kreb’s Cycle (Aerobic)

  39. Phase I: Anaerobic • Named: Glycolysis means the splitting of glucose • Oxygen is NOT directly involved in this step • Occurs in the cytoplasm of cells • The process of breaking down glucose begins with glycolysis, producing 2 molecules of ATP for each molecule of glucose broken down. • Glycolysis breaks down 1 glucose into 2 pyruvic acid. • Produces 2 ATPs • At the end of glycolysis if O2 is NOT present, anaerobic respiration (without oxygen) takes place. • At the end of glycolysis if O2 is present aerobic respiration (with oxygen) takes place (Citric Acid Cycle)

  40. Phase II: Aerobic • Citric Acid Cycle (Kreb’s Cycle) • Completes the breakdown of glucose • Occurs in the mitochondria of cells • In this reaction, pyruvic acid is changed to acetic acid. Then acetic acid forms citric acid. • Results: Carbon dioxide is released 2 ATP are produced

  41. State Test Question Which organelle performs cellular respiration? • Lysosome • Ribosome • Chromosome • Mitochondria

  42. 2. Electron Transport Chain • This process is considered aerobic (with oxygen), because oxygen is the final electron acceptor in the chain • This reaction accepts electrons and hydrogen ions which are passed along, and energy is released. • Results: Oxygen is the final electron acceptor. 34 ATP are produced • At the end of the cellular respiration, glycolysishas produced 2 ATPs • The citric acid cycle has produced 2 ATPs • The electron transport chain has produced 34 ATPs • For aerobic respiration, a total of 36 ATPs • Cellular Respiration makes a total of 38 ATPs

  45. Anaerobic respiration (without oxygen): Anaerobic respiration occurs when oxygen is NOT present. This process is called fermentation, and is used by organisms to produce energy without oxygen. Yeast cells undergo alcoholic fermentation when oxygen is not present. Animalsproducelactic acid when oxygen is not available; this is called lactic acid fermentation This process occurs in our muscles cells during strenuous activity. The body cannot supply enough oxygen to the muscle cells to keep up with ATP production. When lactic acid forms and builds up fatigue sets in. Lactic Acid Fermentation (Sore Muscles) Anaerobic respiration (Alcoholic fermentation)

  46. There are 2 types of fermentation: • Alcoholic Fermentation • Occurs in yeast cells • This process is important to the baking and wine industry • Products are alcohol (ethanol) and CO2 • Lactic Acid Fermentation • Occurs in some unicellular and organisms and human muscle cells. • This process is used to produce en- ergy in muscle cells when no oxygen is available. • Lactic acid build-up causes muscle soreness
