  1. Chapter 8 Cellular Energy

  2. Section 1 How Organisms Obtain Energy

  3. Section 1: How Organisms Obtain Energy All living organisms use energy to carry out all biological processes.

  4. Transformation of Energy • Cellular processes require energy – the ability to do work. • Thermodynamics is the study of the flow and transformation of energy in the universe. How Organisms Obtain Energy

  5. Transformation of Energy Laws of thermodynamics • First law—the law of conservation of energy: energy can be converted from one form to another, but it cannot be created nor destroyed. • Second law: energy cannot be converted without the loss of usable energy, that is, entropy—disorder or unusable energy--increases. How Organisms Obtain Energy

  6. Transformation of Energy Autotrophs and Heterotrophs • Directly or indirectly, nearly all the energy for life comes from the Sun. • Autotrophs make their own food, either with energy from the sun or from inorganic substances. • Heterotrophs ingest other organisms to obtain energy. How Organisms Obtain Energy

  7. Metabolism • All of the chemical reactions in a cell are referred to as the cell’s metabolism. • A series of chemical reactions in which the product of one is the substrate for the next is called a metabolic pathway. • Catabolic pathways release energy by breaking down larger molecules. • Anabolic pathways use energy to build larger molecules. How Organisms Obtain Energy

  8. Metabolism • Photosynthesis – anabolic pathway in which light energy from the Sun is converted to chemical energy for use by the cell • Cellular respiration – catabolic pathway in which organic molecules are broken down to release energy for use by the cell How Organisms Obtain Energy

  9. ATP: The Unit of Cellular Energy • In living things, chemical energy is stored in biological molecules. • Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the most important biological molecule that provides chemical energy. How Organisms Obtain Energy

  10. ATP Crash Course https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00jbG_cfGuQ

  11. ATP: The Unit of Cellular Energy ATP structure • Most abundant energy-carrier in cells • Nucleotide made of an adenine base, a ribose sugar, and three phosphate groups How Organisms Obtain Energy

  12. ATP: The Unit of Cellular Energy ATP function • Releases energy when the bond between the second and third phosphate groups is broken. • Transforms into a molecule called adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and a free phosphate group. How Organisms Obtain Energy

  13. ATP • When chlorophyll absorbs light, it is absorbing energy • It stores it in the __________ of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) bonds

  14. ATP, continued. • Carbs are most commonly broken down to make ATP. • Breakdown of glucose yields 36 ATP. • ATP = Energy currency of the cell. • Cells use ATP for functions such as building molecules & moving materials by Active Transport. • ATP releases energy when phosphate group released. • Becomes Adenosine DiPhosphate (ADP). • Can be converted back to ATP by adding phosphate.

  19. Section 2 Photosynthesis

  20. Section 2: Photosynthesis Light energy is trapped and converted into chemical energy during photosynthesis.

  21. Crash Course: Photosynthesis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQK3Yr4Sc_k

  22. Overview of Photosynthesis • Most autotrophs make organic compounds using photosynthesis. • Photosynthesis is the process of converting light energy into chemical energy. Photosynthesis

  23. THE FORMULA, continued.

  24. Overview of Photosynthesis • Photosynthesis occurs in two phases. • In the light-dependent phase, light energy is converted into chemical energy. • In the light-independent phase, chemical energy used to synthesize glucose. Photosynthesis

  25. Bill Nye: Photosynthesis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdgkuT12e14

  26. Phase One: Light Reactions • The absorption of light is the first step in photosynthesis. • Once light energy is captured, it can be stored as ATP or NAPDH. Photosynthesis

  27. Phase One: Light Reactions Chloroplasts • Are organelles that capture light energy • Contain two main compartments: • Thylakoids: flattened saclike membranes • Stacks of thylakoids are called grana. • The fluid filled space outside the grana called the stroma Photosynthesis

  28. Chloroplast structure

  29. Phase One: Light Reactions Pigments • Light-absorbing colored molecules called pigments are found in the thylakoid membranes. • Different pigments absorb specific wavelengths of light. • Most common pigment in plants is chlorophyll. • Plants also have accessory pigments. Photosynthesis

  30. Video • Chlorophyll Borophyll

  31. Phase One: Light Reactions Electron transport • The thylakoid membrane has a large surface area, providing space for a large number of electron transporting molecules and two types of protein complexes called photosystems. • Photosystems house the light-capturing pigments. Photosynthesis

  32. Phase One: Light Reactions Electron transport • Light energy excites electrons in photosystem II. • This light energy causes a water molecule to split – releasing an electron into the electron transport system, a hydrogen ion (H+ or proton) into the thylakoid space, and oxygen as a waste product. Photosynthesis

  33. Phase One: Light Reactions Electron transport • The activated electrons move from photosystem II to an acceptor molecule in the thylakoid membrane. • The electron acceptor molecule transfers the electrons along a series of electron carriers to photosystem I. Photosynthesis

  34. Phase One: Light Reactions Electron transport • In the presence of light, photosystem I transfers the electrons to a protein. • The protein transfers the electrons to the carrier molecule NADP+, forming the energy storage molecule NADPH. Photosynthesis

  35. Phase One: Light Reactions Electron transport • ATP is produced in conjunction with the electron transport system through chemiosmosis • ATP is produced through the flow of electrons down a concentration gradient • The breakdown of water provides the necessary protons for ATP synthesis Photosynthesis

  36. Phase Two: The Calvin Cycle (light independent reactions) • In the second phase of photosynthesis, called the Calvin cycle, energy is stored in organic molecules such as glucose. Photosynthesis

  37. Phase Two: The Calvin Cycle • The first step of the Calvin cycle is called carbon fixation. • CO2 molecules combine with 5-carbon molecules to form 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA) Photosynthesis

  38. Phase Two: The Calvin Cycle • In the second step, chemical energy stored in ATP and NADPH is transferred to the 3-PGA to form glyceraldehyde 3-phospate (G3P). Photosynthesis

  39. Phase Two: The Calvin Cycle • In the third step, some G3P molecules leave the cycle to be used for the production of glucose and other organic compounds. Photosynthesis

  40. Phase Two: The Calvin Cycle • In the fourth and final step, an enzyme called rubisco converts the remaining G3P molecules into 5-carbon molecules called ribulose 1,5-bisphospates (RuBP). • These molecules combine with new CO2 and continue the cycle. Photosynthesis

  41. 2 Main steps of PS - Summary • Light reactions—occurs only in the presence of ___________ • Occurs in the grana (thylakoids) of the chloroplasts • Also known as Photolysisbecause light is used to __________ _________ molecules into hydrogen and oxygen light split water

  43. Light Reactions Take place within the membrane of the thylakoid. • Chlorophyll absorbs energy from sunlight. • Water is __________ _________ • Oxygen is ______________ • Oxygen leaves the plant and goes into the air broken down released

  44. The Dark Reactions Occur in stroma of chloroplasts. • _________ is added to a cycle of reactions to build larger molecules • A molecule of simple sugar is formed • _____________ CO2 glucose

  45. Video • Summary of Photosynthesis

  46. Alternative Pathways C4 plants • The C4 pathway allows plants to maintain photosynthesis while reducing water loss. • Significant structural modification in the arrangement of cells within the leaves – separate CO2 uptake from location of Calvin cycle Photosynthesis

  47. Alternative Pathways CAM plants • Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is found in desert plants. • Collect CO2 at night and store it in organic compounds • During the day, release CO2 from organic compounds for the light-dependent cycle of photosynthesis Photosynthesis
