8-1 Energy and Life• Living things need energy to survive
– comes from food– energy in most food comes from the sun
• Plants use light energy from the sun to produce food
• autotrophs organisms that make their own food– Ex - plants
• heterotrophs organisms that must obtain energy from the foods they consume
– animals
3
Chemical Energy and ATP• Energy – the ability to do work
– Forms: light, heat, electricity, chemical compounds
• chemical compound that cells use to store and release energy is adenosine triphosphate (ATP)– ATP - basic energy source for all cells
4
Chemical Energy and ATP
• ATP consists of:
– adenine
– ribose (a 5-carbon sugar)
– 3 phosphate groups
Adenine
ATP
Ribose 3 Phosphate groups
The three phosphate groups are the key to ATP's ability to store and release energy.
5
Chemical Energy and ATP– Storing Energy
• ADP has two phosphate groups instead of three.• A cell can store small amounts of energy by adding a
phosphate group to ADP.

Chemical Energy and ATP
– Releasing Energy• Energy stored in ATP is released by breaking the
chemical bond between the second and third phosphates.

ADP
2 Phosphate groups
7
ATP energy uses: - cellular activities: active transport,
protein synthesis - muscle contraction
• Most cells have only a small amount of ATP, because it is not a good way to store large amounts of energy.
• Cells can regenerate ATP from ADP as needed by using the energy in foods like glucose.

Light and Pigments
• photosynthesis requires chlorophyll– pigments - light-absorbing molecules that
gather the sun's energy• The main pigment in plants is chlorophyll.• There are two main types of chlorophyll:
– chlorophyll a – chlorophyll b
12
Light and Pigments• Chlorophyll absorbs light well in the blue-violet and
red regions of the visible spectrum.

Light Energy
• Light is a form of energy– compound that absorbs light also absorbs
energy from that light– chlorophyll absorbs light the energy is
transferred directly to electrons in the chlorophyll molecule raising the energy levels of these electrons
– high-energy electrons are what make photosynthesis work

Inside a Chloroplast
• Chloroplasts contain thylakoids—saclike photosynthetic membranes.

Singlethylakoid
18
Inside a Chloroplast• Thylakoids are arranged in stacks known as grana.
A singular stack is called a granum.• Stroma – space outside of the thylakoids

Inside a Chloroplast• Proteins in the thylakoid membrane organize
chlorophyll and other pigments into clusters called photosystems, which are the light-collecting units of the chloroplast.

Photosynthesis Reactions
• reactions of photosystems include: – light-dependent reactions (requires light)
• take place within the thylakoid membranes• uses water, ADP, and NADP+
• produces oxygen, ATP, and NADPH
– light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle)• takes place in the stroma • ATP and NADPH not stable enough to store the
energy they carry for more than a few minutes• uses ATP and NADPH energy to build high-energy
sugars for long term storage
21
Photosynthesis Reactions
• The two sets of photosynthetic reactions work together.– The light-dependent reactions trap sunlight
energy in chemical form. – The light-independent reactions use that
chemical energy to produce stable, high-energy sugars from carbon dioxide and water.

Electron Carriers
• electrons in chlorophyll absorb sunlight electrons gain energy– Cells use electron carriers to transport these
high-energy electrons from chlorophyll to other molecules
– One carrier molecule is NADP+.• transport electrons• NADP+ accepts and holds 2 high-energy electrons
along with a hydrogen ion (H+) - NADP+ NADPH• energy of sunlight can be trapped in chemical form• NADPH carries high-energy electrons to chemical
reactions elsewhere in the cell to make carbohydrates
24
Factors Affecting Photosynthesis
• Many factors affect the rate of photosynthesis, including:•Water• Temperature• Intensity of light

Chemical Energy and Food• Chemical Energy and Food
– One gram of the sugar glucose (C6H12O6), when burned in the presence of oxygen, releases 3811 calories of heat energy
– calorie - the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius
• Cells gradually release the energy from glucose and other food compounds beginning with glycolysis - releases a small amount of energy.
28
Overview of Cellular Respiration• If oxygen is present:
– cellular respiration - the process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen
– glycolysis Krebs cycle electron transport chain
• equation:– 6O2 + C6H12O6 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy– oxygen + glucose → carbon dioxide + water + Energy

32
Glycolysis• the process in which one molecule of glucose is
broken in half, producing two molecules of pyruvic acid, a 3-carbon compound– ATP Production
• cell uses up 2 molecules of ATP to start the reaction
• When glycolysis is complete, 4 ATP molecules have been produced a net gain of 2 ATP molecules
– NADH Production• removes 4 high-energy electrons electron carrier
called NAD+ becomes an NADH molecule.
• The NADH molecule holds the electrons until they can be transferred to other molecules.
39
Glycolysis
– The Advantages of Glycolysis• very fast - cells can produce thousands of ATP
molecules in a few milliseconds• does not require oxygen
40
Fermentation
• oxygen is not present glycolysis is followed by a different pathway - fermentation– Fermentation – release of energy (ATP) from
food in the absence of oxygen– cells convert NADH to NAD+ by passing high-
energy electrons back to pyruvic acid– Anaerobic – does not require oxygen
41
Fermentation
– Alcoholic Fermentation• Yeasts and a few other microorganisms use
alcoholic fermentation • Forms ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide as wastes
– equation: • pyruvic acid + NADH → alcohol + CO2 + NAD+
42
Fermentation
– Lactic Acid Fermentation• pyruvic acid that accumulates from glycolysis
converted to lactic acid• regenerates NAD+ so that glycolysis can continue
– converts glucose into lactic acid– equation:
• pyruvic acid + NADH → lactic acid + NAD+
46
Comparing Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
• The energy flows in photosynthesis and cellular respiration take place in opposite directions.
47
Comparing Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
• On a global level, photosynthesis and cellular respiration are also opposites. – Photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from
the atmosphere and cellular respiration puts it back.
– Photosynthesis releases oxygen into the atmosphere and cellular respiration uses that oxygen to release energy from food.
