Transformation of Energy
Energy is the ability to do work.
8.1 How Organisms Obtain Energy
Cellular Energy
Thermodynamics is the study of the flow and transformation of energy in the universe.
Chapter 8
Metabolism
All of the chemical reactions in a cell
8.1 How Organisms Obtain Energy
Cellular Energy
Photosynthesis—light energy from the Sun is converted to chemical energy for use by the cell
Cellular respiration—organic molecules are broken down to release energy for use by the cell
Chapter 8
ATP: The Unit of Cellular Energy
ATP releases energy when the bond between the second and third phosphate groups is broken.

Light and pigments
• Photosynthesis requires light and the pigment chlorophyll
• The green pigment is the wavelength reflected rather than absorbed, by plants the most – so plants are green and other colors are absorbed
Overview of Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis occurs in 2 phases:
Cellular Energy
1. Light-dependent reactions (thylakoid)
2. Light-independent reactions/Calvin Cycle (stroma)
8.2 Photosynthesis
Chapter 8
Phase One: Light Reactions
The absorption of light is the first step in photosynthesis.
Cellular Energy
Chloroplasts capture light energy.
8.2 Photosynthesis
Chapter 8
Reactions of PhotosynthesisLight dependent reactions
• Grana are stacks of thylakoids in the chloroplast that contain the chlorophyll which captures sunlight
• Light dependent reactions take place in the thylakoids
Cellular Energy
8.2 Photosynthesis
Phase Two: The Calvin Cycle (Light-Independent)
In the second phase is the Calvin cycle, energy is stored in organic molecules such as glucose.
Chapter 8
Light independent reactionsThe Calvin Cycle
• The Calvin cycle or light independent reactions take place in the stroma of chloroplast
• Uses ATP and NADPH from light dep. Reactions to produce high energy sugars

Overview of Cellular Respiration
the chemical bonds of glucose are broken down in the presence of oxygen and produce energy.

8.3 Cellular Respiration
Cellular Energy
Cellular respiration occurs in 3 parts.
Glycolysis
Kreb’s Cycle
Chapter 8
Electron Transport Chain
Step 1: Glycolysis
Takes 2 ATP to start
Glucose is broken down in the cytoplasm by glycolysis (splitting glucose).
Occurs in the cytoplasm
Forms 2 pyruvate from 1 glucose
8.3 Cellular Respiration
Cellular Energy
2 molecules of ATP and 2 molecules of NADH are formed for each molecule of glucose that is broken down.
Chapter 8
Step 2: Krebs Cycle
8.3 Cellular Respiration
Cellular Energy
The series of reactions in which pyruvate is broken down into carbon dioxide
Occurs in the mitochondria

8.3 Cellular Respiration
Cellular Energy
The net yield from the Krebs cycle is:
6 CO2 molecules2 ATP8 NADH2 FADH2.

Anaerobic Respiration
The anaerobic pathway after glycolysis
Two main types:
Lactic acid fermentation (muscles)
Alcohol fermentation (yeast & molds)
Fermentation
• A process in the absence of oxygen (anaerobic)
• Lactic acid fermentation – Occurs when body can’t supply enough oxygen to the muscles during exercise = soreness, burning, fatigue
