Big Question

How do organisms REALLY get the

energy they need to survive?

What is the relationship between life, matter and energy?

Two important ideas.How does energy move in living systems?

Energy flows through living systems

From the sun to heat.

What are the types?

How does matter move in living systems?

Matter is recycled in living systems

Matter: anything that has mass & takes up space. Atoms are the smallest unit of matter.

Cycles include: water, nitrogen, carbon

Two important ideas.

Organisms need energy to make them go

How does matter move in living systems?

Organisms need matter to make them up

CHONP (Remember?)

Food for thought...;)

What happens if you don’t eat?

You get The Death...because you run out of energy.

Life requires an ongoing supply of energy.

“The Big Picture” - Photosynthesis

What is the job of a chloroplast?

Carry out photosynthesis: Capture radiant (light) energy and store it as chemical potential energy (food/glucose)…

Inputs?

Carbon dioxide, water, radiant (light) energy

Products?

Oxygen, glucose

• Found in PLANTS only!

• Functions:

• Site of photosynthesis: Converts light energy into food (carbs, such as glucose) and oxygen gas (O2)

• Features:

• contain pigments (like chlorophyll) that help capture light energy

• Have own DNA

Chloroplast Recap

Photosynthesis FormulaLight + 6CO2 + 6H2O → C₆H120₆ + 6O2

Sun + 6Carbon dioxide + 6water → 1glucose + 6oxygen gas

Occurs in the chloroplasts of plants, algae and some funky bacteria

Overview of photosynthesis: the process using radiant energy (light/sun), carbon dioxide and water to build food molecules (glucose) and produce oxygen.

Photosynthesis Formula

Key Points:

Small molecules to big molecules

Storing/capturing energy from the sun.

Photosynthesis

• Where do the inputs come from??

Radiant energy

• + 6CO2

• + 6H2O

Draw the following chart

Photosynthesis

Plants start with:

Plants end with:

Carbon atoms (salmon dots)

Hydrogen atoms (green dots)

Oxygen atoms (white dots)

Total molecules (dot groups)

Modeling Photosynthesis

Under your chart, write out:

• Light + 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 +6O2

• Count out:

• 6 salmon dots = CARBON = C

• 12 green dots = HYDROGEN = H

• 18 white dots = OXYGEN = O


• What does each dot represent?

• Make a group of a CO2

• What does this group of dots represent?


Write out:

•“Each dot represents one atom.”

•“Each group of dots represents a molecule.”


• How many of the CO2 molecules should you be able to make?

• Make a molecule of a H2O

• How many water molecules should you be able to make?

• Refer to coefficients in balanced equation

Compare and contrast photosynthesis• Similarities: Write 2-3 similarities

between the before and after substances

• Differences: Write 2-3 differences between the before and after substances

Connect back

Chemical change/reaction: An anabolic reaction: building small molecules built into bigger ones

Energy transformation: Radiant (kinetic) energy to chemical/food (potential) energy

Another “Big Picture”

What is the job of the mighty mitochondria?

Carry out cellular respiration: Convert chemical energy (food/glucose) into energy that is USABLE by living organisms.

Inputs?

Glucose (food) & oxygen (breathe in)

Products?

Carbon dioxide (breathe out), water, useable form of energy

• Functions:

• Site of cell respiration: Converts glucose from food into usable energy (ATP) which is used by cells to do work

• The “powerhouse” of the cell

• Feature:

• Has own DNA

“Mighty” Mitochondria Recap

Role of Enzymes…

More food for thought...

Why don’t we breathe out smoke?

Smoke comes from not completely burning material.

Our enzymes do a much better job of breaking down materials...

Enzymes control and harness transformations of energy & matter.

Respiration FormulaC₆H120₆ + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + Usable Energy1 Glucose + 6oxygen gas → 6carbon dioxide + 6water + usable energy (36ATP)

This process occurs in the mitochondria of animal AND plant (and algae) cells

Overview of cellular respiration: the process of using oxygen to break down glucose (food) to get usable energy, also forming carbon dioxide and water

Key Points About Respiration

Key Points:

Big molecules to small molecules.

Releasing chemical potential energy.

ATP = Adenosine Triphosphate

ATP is a molecule that provides usable energy for the cell to do work

What jobs would the cell need energy to do?

Characteristics of LifeRespond to environment

Grow & Develop

Reproduce

Cellular organization

Similar Materials (molecules)

These all need

energy in the

form of ATP!!!

What is ATP?

Without a source of usable energy, organisms will die because they can’t carry out the characteristics of living things!!!

Too little oxygen?? Oh…•When organisms don’t get

enough oxygen to undergo aerobic (with oxygen) cellular respiration, they go through

•Anaerobic cellular respiration aka…

•Fermentation

•Lactic acid fermentation

•Alcoholic fermentation

Rate of Cellular Respiration

•Generate a list of potential variables that could/does affect the rate of cellular respiration

• Come up with a list of at least 4 with your group

To Think About…

• What organisms undergo c.r.?

• Where does the glucose and oxygen come from that is used in c.r.?

• How do organisms get those molecules?

• What happens to the molecules that are produced by c.r.? Where to they go? What/who uses them?

The Carbon Cycle

• Matter cycles through the environment
