  2. So exactly how much energy does photosynthesis capture? THE gummy bear Video

  3. Energy • Energy in general comes in many forms, including light, heat, and electricity. It is also stored in things like food and batteries. • Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can change forms and be stored • Cells use food energy to charge special cell “batteries” called ATP

  4. Cell Energy = Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) • ATP is the chemical compound that cells use for energy (like a battery) • Modified nucleic acid • Contains: - adenine (modified piece of DNA) - ribose (sugar) - 3 phosphates

  5. “Dead Battery ATP” = Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) • ATP is rechargeable! • ADP forms when a “P” is broken off ATP to release energy. ADP can be recharged by using food energy to reconnect the P.

  6. ATP • Reminder: cells use ATP for active transport, homeostasis, and any movement • ATP powers the cell and keeps you alive!

  7. Respiration • ATP is recharged by Respiration • a single carbohydrate glucose (sugar) contains enough energy to recharge 90 ATP (but you never get that much out of it).

  8. Cellular Respiration Equation • Equation: (pick one to memorize) 6O2 + C6H12O6→ 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (ATP) oxygen + glucose → carbon dioxide + water + ATP MEMORIZE THIS! (Does it look familiar?!)

  9. YES! • Respiration is the exact opposite ofphotosynthesis! • Photosynthesis: 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy → 6O2 + C6H12O6 • Respiration: 6O2 + C6H12O6→ 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy Photosynthesis and Respiration together make the Carbon cycle.

  10. Respiration • ALL cells (including plants) use respiration to recharge their ATP • Respiration reverses the work of photosynthesis. It uses oxygen to break down a sugar, releasing CO2 and water as waste • Two types of respiration • Aerobic (requires oxygen, takes place in cytoplasm and mitochondria, creates around 36 ATP ) • Anaerobic (no oxygen needed, takes place in the cytoplasm only, creates only 2 ATP, uses fermentation)

  11. Respiration Stages • Three stages(Aerobic requires all ; anaerobic repeats stage one) • 1. Glycolysis (cytoplasm): break glucose in half and charge 2 ATP; no oxygen needed • 2. Krebs Cycle (mitochondria): finish the job to turn glucose into CO2 and release energy; requires oxygen; • 3. Electron Transport Chain (mitochondria): use the energy from stage 1 and 2 to charge 32-34 ATP; requires oxygen

  12. Overview of Cellular Respiration

  13. Gross vs Net ATP • Glycolysis (stage one) occurs first. It does not require oxygen, but it does require a little ATP to start. Glycolysis uses 2 ATP to make 4 ATP, so the GROSS production is 4 ATP, but the NET production = 2 ATP

  14. No Oxygen Needed! • Glycolysis is so fast that thousands of ATPs can be produced in a few milliseconds! • Some small cells can survive with just glycolysis (ex: bacteria, yeast), and therefore NEVER need oxygen!

  15. After Glycolysis • If oxygen is present, then the products of glycolysis move on to the mitochondria for stages 2 and 3. There they will be further broken down to create MUCH more ATP energy.

  16. ATP Totals • Glycolysis(anaerobic respiration) makes 2 ATP • With O2, Aerobic Respiration (all three stages) makes 36-38 ATP • Some energy will be lost as heat and used to maintain body temperature

  17. What if oxygen is NOT present? • Respiration is BETTER with Oxygen! • Without oxygen, cells have to switch to Anaerobic Respiration which is maintained through Fermentation.

  18. Two Types of Fermentation 1. Alcoholic Fermentation: used by yeast only; produces alcohol and CO2 2. Lactic Acid Fermentation: used by animals/bacteria: produces lactic acid; reason for burning muscles when working out

  19. Anaerobic Respiration Reminder • The purpose of both types of fermentation is to keep glycolysis going. Fermentation of any type only makes 2 ATP • ATP TOTALS to Memorize! • (aerobic) = around 36 ATP • (anaerobic) = only 2 ATP
