Unit 4 Cell Processes

1. Unit 4 Cell Processes Photosynthesis Cellular Respiration Movement Across the Membrane

2. Chloroplast • Plants and some other types of organisms are able to use the light energy from the sun to produce food. We call those organisms that make the own food are autotrophs (plants, algae, bacteria) • What is the name of the process by which plants make their own food? Make a guess!

3. PHOTOSYNTHESIS

5. Photosynthesis • The process that converts inorganic substances, CO2 and H2O, using the sun’s energy into an organic substance called glucose, C6H12O6 and inorganic substances O2 and water vapor. • Photosynthesis occurs in the CHLOROPLASTS of the plant cell.

6. Chlorophyll – plants principal pigment that absorbs sunlight

7. PHOTOSYNTHESISEQUATION

8. Regulation (Homeostasis) inside the Leaf

12. FACTORS THAT EFFECT PHOTOSYNTHESIS • AMOUNT OF WATER • TEMPERATURE • INTENISTY OF LIGHT

13. Cellular Respiration • Define cellular respiration • A process that releases energy by breaking down food molecules in the presence of oxygen • The chemical energy called ATP • Both plant and animal cells must undergo cellular respiration • Process occurs in the mitochondria

14. Chemical Equation for Cellular Respiration • The equation is the opposite of photosynthesis.

16. CHEMICAL ENERGY AND ATP • The activities of the cell are powered by chemical fuels. One of the principal chemical compounds that living things use to store energy from the food that is broken down is Adenosine Triphosphate – ATP.

17. ATP • One glucose molecule breaks down into about 36 ATP molecules • ATP is a fully charged battery, ready to power the machinery of the cell.

18. Energy • Cells use energy for • Active transport • Movement within the cell • Muscle Contractions • Making Proteins

19. Transport Across the Cell membrane

20. Cell Membrane • Regulates what enters and exits the cell • Provides protection and support • Semi-permeable – allows small substances through and keeps larger substances out • Cell Membrane is made of lipids and proteins

21. Two types of Movement

22. Two Types of Movement Across the Cell Membrane Passive transport Active transport Substance moving from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration Requires energy from the cell for this movement • Diffusion – substance moving from an area of high concentration to area of low concentration • Concentration means the amount of substance in a given area • No Energy required by the cell for this movement • Osmosis- diffusion of water

24. Diffusion over time

25. Effect of Osmosis • Water will move in the direction where there is a high concentration of solute (low concentration of water) • Solute - A substance dissolved in another substance • Salt sucks- Salt is a solute, when it is concentrated in or out of the cell, it will draw water in its direction. This is why you get thirsty after eating something salty.

26. Osmosis – Diffusion of Water

28. ISOTONIC • If the concentration of solute is equal on both sides, the water will move back in forth but it won’t have any result on the overall amount of water on either side.

29. HYPOTONIC • If the concentration of solute is higher inside the cell, the water will move into the cell. • The cell will expand and possible burst in an animal cell • The cell wall protects cell from bursting.

30. HYPERTONIC • If the concentration of solute is higher outside the cell, the water will move out of cell. • The cell will shrink.
