8.1 Energy and Life

advertisement

Objectives

 Explain the interrelationships between the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration comparing and contrasting photosynthesis and cellular respiration reactions.

 Determine what factors affect the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration (i.e., light intensity, availability of reactants, temperature).

Questions

 What ultimately provides energy for living things?

What provides energy for us?

Autotrophs and Heterotrophs

 Plants and other types of organisms are able to use light energy from the sun to produce food.

 What is the difference between autotrophs and heterotrophs?

 Give an example of an autotroph.

 Give an example of a heterotroph.

Chemical Energy and ATP

Chemical Energy and ATP

As you write you are “burning” fuel.

 Living things use chemical fuels.

 Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) – large carbon molecule with THREE PHOSPHATE

GROUPS.

Releasing Energy

 When you remove the third phosphate from ATP a large amount of energy is released.

 Enough energy for active transport, protein synthesis, and muscle contraction.

(Remind me to show you a picture of a guy with too much ATP/Steroids)

Storing Energy

POP QUIZ – If adenosine triphosphate loses a phosphate, is it still ATP?

Then what is it?

(Adenosine diphosphate or ADP which still has energy…just not as much)
