LU_General Biology 1_Module8 Target Every task performed by organisms requires energy. In fact, the cells of every organism constantly use energy. Nutrients and other molecules are imported, metabolized and synthesized into new molecules, modified and transported around the cell and to the entire body of an organism. These cellular processes require a steady supply of energy. Where and in what form this energy come from? How do cells obtain energy and how they use it? At the end of this module, the answers to these questions will be provided.

Excess free energy would result in an increase of heat in the cell, which would result in excessive thermal motion that could damage and then destroy the cell. Rather, a cell must be able to handle that energy in a way that enables the cell to store energy safely and release it for use only as needed. Living cells accomplish this by using the compound adenosine triphosphate (ATP) which known as the “energy currency” of the cell due to its versatility to fill any energy need of the cell. How? It functions similarly to a rechargeable battery. To try to answer the activity below to see how much you know already about the role of ATP. Activity 1: Knowledge check The diagram shows the basic outline of the structure of ATP. Please answer the questions below to test your previous knowledge on the structure of ATP. Q1. Which letter indicates the ribose sugar? Q2. Which letter indicates the nitrogenous base? [ Q3. Which letter indicates the phosphate group? Source: https://www.nagwa.com 3 LU_General Biology 1_Module8 Sourcehttps://www.nagwa.com Q4. ATP acts as source of energy during cellular processes. Which bond (represented by numbers 1,2 and 3 from the image above)breaks to release the energy stored in it? Discover COUPLED REACTION PROCESSES Energy production within a cell involves many coordinated chemical pathways. Most of these pathways are combinations of oxidation and reduction in a compound. An oxidation strips an electron from an atom in a compound, and the addition of this electron to another compound is a reduction reaction or the so-called redox reactions because they usually occur together. Examples of coupled reactions are shown below. A. Endergonic and Exergonic reactions Endergonic reactions require an input of energy. An example of endergonic reaction in the living system is photosynthesis. On the other hand, an exergonic reactions release energy. An example of exergonic reaction is cellular respiration. An illustration of these coupled reactions are shown below. Endergonic Reaction Exergonic reaction Copyright Cmassengale Copyright Cmassengale 4 LU_General Biology 1_Module8 B. Exergonic hydrolysis of ATP and Endergonic dehydration process Hydrolysis of ATP It is the process of breaking complex macromolecules. The hydrolysis of ATP produces ADP, together with an inorganic phosphate ion , and the release of free energy. Dehydration of ATP This reaction reverse the hydrolysis of ATP by regenerating ATP. This ATP regeneration requires an input of free energy. The formation of ATP is illustrated below. ATP STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION Adenosine triphosphate is comprised of adenosine bound to three phosphate groups. At the heart of ATP is a molecule of adenosine monophosphate (AMP), which is composed of adenine molecule bonded to a ribose molecule and to a single phosphate group. Ribose is a five-carbon sugar found in RNA, and adenine is one of the nucleotides in RNA. The addition of a second phosphate group to this core molecule results in the formation of adenosine diphosphate (ADP); the addition of the third phosphate group forms adenosine triphosphate. The Three phosphate groups are labeled as alpha, beta and gamma. These chemical groups constitute an energy powerhouse. 5 LU_General Biology 1_Module8 However, not all bonds within this molecule exist in a particularly highenergy state. The bonds that link the phosphate are equally high energy bonds that when broken, release sufficient energy to power a variety of cellular reactions and processes. These highenergy bonds are the bonds between the second and third (beta and gamma) phosphate groups. Chlorophyll and other Pigments Different kinds of pigments exist and absorbs only certain wavelengths (colors) of visible light. Pigments reflect or transmit the wavelengths they cannot absorb, thus affecting how they appear to the human eye. Chlorophyll and carotenoids are the two major classes of photosynthetic pigments found in plants and algae; each class has a multiple types of pigment molecules. There are five major chlorophylls: a, b, c, d and a related molecule found in prokaryotes called bacteriochlorophyll. Chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b are found in higher plant chloroplasts. Carotenoids are much larger group of pigments. The carotenoids found in fruit-such as the red tomato (lycopene), the yellow of corn seeds (zeaxanthin), the orange of an orange peel (B-carotene) – are used as advertisements to attract seed dispersers. In photosynthesis, carotenoids function as photosynthetic pigments that are very efficient molecules for the disposal of excess energy. These carotenoids reside in the thylakoid membrane, absorb excess energy, and safely dissipate that energy as heat. Each type of pigment can be identified by the specific pattern of wavelength it absorbs from the visible light, which is the absorption spectrum. The graph shows the absorption of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and other types of carotenoid pigments. Notice how each pigment has a distinct set of peaks and troughs, revealing a highly specific pattern of absorption. Chlorophyll a absorbs wavelengths from either end of the visible spectrum (blue and red), but not green. Because green is reflected or transmitted, chlorophyll appears green. Carotenoids absorb in the shortwavelength blue region, and reflect the long yellow, red, and orange wavelengths. 6 LU_General Biology 1_Module8 Source: http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/Biology/ligabs.html Many photosynthetic organisms have a mixture of pigments; using them, the organism can absorb energy from a wider range of wavelengths. An instrument called spectrophotometer can differentiate which wavelengths of light a substance can absorb. Spectrophotometers measure transmitted light and compute from it the absorption. By extracting pigments from leaves and placing theses samples to spectrophotometer, scientists can identify which wavelengths of light an organism Explore Here are some activities to enrich your knowledge regarding the role of ATP as to its structure, ATP decomposition and synthesis and the ATPADP energy cycle. Good luck and have fun! 7 LU_General Biology 1_Module8 Activity 2: Color Me Right! Part 1. The Structure of ATP ATP consist of three parts: 1 adenine molecule, 1 ribose sugar molecule and 3 phosphate molecules. Energy is stored in the bond that is found between the 2 nd and 3rd phosphate groups. • • COLOR and LABEL the following in the ATP molecules below: adenine-red, ribose-orange, 3 phosphate groups-yellow Circle the area that represents the HIGH ENERGY bond. 1 2 3 Part 2. ATP Decomposition When a cell requires energy, it breaks off the last (3rd) phosphate group from the ATP molecule, which release energy. The molecule that is left over is called adenosine diphosphate which consists of adenine, ribose sugar and TWO phosphate groups. ADP contains less energy than ATP. • • COLOR and LABEL the following in the energy molecule below: adenine- red, ribose- orange, first two phosphate groups- yellow, lone phosphate grouppurple. COLOR the energy release- green Circle the part of the image that makes up one molecule of ADP. 8 LU_General Biology 1_Module8 Part 3: ATP synthesis ATP molecules are constantly being rebuilt from ADP and lone phosphate groups. This ensures that cells always have a source of energy. However, it takes energy to make ATP. The energy to make ATP comes from a carbohydrate called GLUCOSE. Glucose is a monosaccharide or simple sugar. Plants produce glucose during photosynthesis. • • COLOR and LABEL the following in the energy molecule below: adenine- red, ribose- orange, first two phosphate groups-yellow, lone phosphate grouppurple. COLOR the energy absorbed- blue Is the ENTIRE energy molecule called ATP or ADP? Be sure to LABEL the name below! ENERGY Absorbed Activity 3: Leaf Pigment Chromatography Additional methods for the identification of plant pigments include various types of chromatography that separates the pigments. Let us explore more on plant pigments by doing the chromatography activity. Materials Isopropyl alcohol Ruler Green Leaf Scissors Coffee filter/chromatography paper Beaker/clear glass/plastic cups Pencil Coin Tape Colored pencils/crayons Procedure 1. Obtain a strip of chromatography paper or cut a 2 ½ cm strip from a coffee filter. 2. Use a ruler to measure and draw a light pencil line 2 cm above the bottom of the paper strip. 3. Wrap a leaf around a coin with the waxy side of the leaf facing outward. Now rub the leaf along the light pencil line on the paper strip until you make a dark green 9 LU_General Biology 1_Module8 line. DO NOT RUB THE LEAF ABOVE OR BELOW THE LINE. RUB THE LEAF ON THE LINE ONLY. 4. Tape the top of the paper strip so that the end of the strip with the green line hangs down. The pencil should be able to sit across the top of the beaker/glass with the bottom of the paper strip just touching the bottom of the beaker. Cut off any excess paper from the top of the strip if it is too long. DO NOT CUT THE BOTTOM OF THE STRIP WITH THE GREEN LINE. 5. Remove the pencil/paper strip from the beaker for now. 6. Carefully add isopropyl alcohol to the beaker until it reaches a depth of 1 cm in the beaker. 7. Lay the pencil across the top of the beaker with the paper strip extending into the alcohol. MAKE SURE THAT THE LEVEL OF THE ALCOHOL IS BELOW THE GREEN LINE ON YOUR PAPER STRIP. IF THE ALCOHOL IS GOING TO COVER THE GREEN LINE, POUR OUT SOME ALCOHOL BEFORE YOU GET THE GREEN LINE WET. 8. Observe as the alcohol gets absorbed and travels up the paper. This may take up to 20 minutes. Do not touch your experiment during this time. 9. Using colored pencils or crayons, DRAW your results.
