Energy FlowEnergy Flow““The Carbon Cycle”The Carbon Cycle”
Where do we get Where do we get all of our energy?all of our energy?
Directly or indirectly, almost Directly or indirectly, almost all organisms get the energy all organisms get the energy needed for metabolism from needed for metabolism from the sun. the sun.
Photoautotrophs use the Photoautotrophs use the sun’s rays to make organic sun’s rays to make organic compounds compounds These compounds store energy and These compounds store energy and
serve as food for heterotrophs)serve as food for heterotrophs)
What are What are chemoautotrophs?chemoautotrophs?

Building MoleculesBuilding Molecules
Photosynthesis – Photosynthesis – light energy is used light energy is used to build glucose – to build glucose – CC66HH1212OO66
Chemosynthesis – Chemosynthesis – chemical energy is chemical energy is used to build organic used to build organic molecules. molecules.
Breaking Down MoleculesBreaking Down Molecules
Heterotrophs break Heterotrophs break down glucose to gain down glucose to gain energy to carry out energy to carry out life activities.life activities.
They break down the They break down the glucose to make glucose to make ATP (Adenosine ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)Triphosphate)

Step 1Step 1 Photolysis – Light hits the Photolysis – Light hits the
thylakoid membrane of a thylakoid membrane of a plant and the electrons go plant and the electrons go through the electron through the electron transport chain to transport chain to produce a lot of energy produce a lot of energy (ATP) to split water (ATP) to split water moleculesmolecules

Dark PhaseDark Phase Stage 2 – The chemical Stage 2 – The chemical energy stored in ATP energy stored in ATP and NADPH powers the and NADPH powers the formation of Glucose, formation of Glucose, using COusing CO22.. To fix carbon (change it To fix carbon (change it
into a useable form), you into a useable form), you use COuse CO22 and combine it, and combine it, split it and basically put it split it and basically put it through the wringer (the through the wringer (the Calvin Cycle) and then Calvin Cycle) and then combine it with ATP and combine it with ATP and NADPH to form CNADPH to form C66HH1212OO22 and give off Hand give off H22O.O.

During vigorous exercise, lactate builds up In muscles when the tissue is deprived of oxygen. This allows glycolysis to still produce ATP as long as there is glucose but only 2 ATPs per molecule of glucose – MUCH LESS EFFICIENT THAN AEROBIC RESPIRATION.
ALCOHOLIC ALCOHOLIC FERMENTATIONFERMENTATION
PyruvateGlucose Ethyl
Alcohol
This happens in certain bacteria and fungus. For centuries this has occurred during the production of various alcoholic beverages such as beer and wine. This allows glycolysis to still produce ATP as long as there is glucose but only 2 ATPs per molecule of glucose – MUCH LESS EFFICIENT THAN AEROBIC RESPIRATION.
