How is cellular metabolism relevant to higher levels of biological organization: physiology (breathing, digestion), ecology (communities)? Cellular Respiration Catabolic ▪ Breaks down complex molecules into smaller ones Exergonic ▪ Releases energy that can be used to do work (such as build ATP from ADP and Pi) Cellular Respiration If you released all of the energy in sugar at once, what would happen? ▪ Quick combustion! FIRE ▪ Example: Marshmellows on Fire Cellular Respiration Instead, your mitochondria use a series of controlled steps, releasing energy in small amounts at a time ▪ Some energy still lost as heat ▪ The rest is converted to chemical energy in ATP for use in the cell! ▪ HOW?????

Stomata – water loss Rubisco – photorespiration Stomata… Stomata… Water exits via stomata during transpiration (evaporation of water through the stomata - which pulls water up the plant from the roots) If it’s a hot, dry day, plants need to minimize water loss! Solution? Close/minimize stomata BUT? Lowers CO2 intake… Rubisco… Remember rubisco? It’s the enzyme that fixes CO2 in the Calvin cycle of C3 plants The thing is… rubisco will also bind O2 in absence of CO2 Causes breakdown of Calvin Cycle products… Photorespiration Solution? Adapt! Try This! The presence of only Photosystem I, not Photosystem II, in the bundle sheath cells of C4 plants has an effect on O2 concentration. What is that effect, and how might that benefit the plant? Try This! The presence of only Photosystem I, not Photosystem II, in the bundle sheath cells of C4 plants has an effect on O2 concentration. What is that effect, and how might that benefit the plant? Without PS II, no O2 is generated in the bundle-sheath cells!
