Cellular Energy

Section 1: How Organisms Obtain Energy

Section 2: Photosynthesis

Section 3: Cellular Respiration

Transformation of Energy

�Energy is the ability to do work.

How Organisms Obtain Energy

Cellular Energy

�Thermodynamics is the study of the flow and

transformation of energy in the universe.

Section 1

Laws of Thermodynamics

�First law—energy can be converted from one

form to another, but it cannot be created nor

destroyed.


Cellular Energy

�Second law—energy cannot be converted

without the loss of usable energy.

Section 1

Autotrophs and Heterotrophs

�Autotrophs are organisms that make their

own food.


Cellular Energy

�Heterotrophs are organisms that need to

ingest food to obtain energy.

Section 1

Metabolism

�All of the chemical reactions in a cell


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

Section 1

ATP: The Unit of Cellular Energy

�ATP releases energy

when the bond between

the second and third

phosphate groups is

broken, forming a

molecule called

adenosine diphosphate

(ADP) and a free

phosphate group.


Cellular EnergySection 1

ATP

Overview of Photosynthesis

�Photosynthesis occurs in two phases.

Cellular Energy

�Light-dependent reactions

�Light-independent reactions

Photosynthesis

Section 2

Phase One: Light Reactions

�The absorption of light is the first step in

photosynthesis.

Cellular Energy

�Chloroplasts capture light energy.

Photosynthesis

Section 2

Electron Transport

�Light energy excites electrons in

photosystem II and also causes a water

molecule to split, releasing an electron into

the electron transport system, H+ into the

thylakoid space, and O2 as a waste product.

Cellular Energy

Photosynthesis

Section 2

�The excited electrons move from

photosystem II to an electron-acceptor

molecule in the thylakoid membrane.

�The electron-acceptor molecule transfers the

electrons along a series of electron-carriers

to photosystem I.

Cellular Energy

Photosynthesis

Section 2

Cellular Energy

Photosynthesis

�Photosystem I transfers the electrons to a

protein called ferrodoxin.

�Ferrodoxin transfers the electrons to the

electron carrier NADP+, forming the energy-

storing molecule NADPH.

Section 2


Cellular Energy

Photosynthesis

Phase Two: The Calvin Cycle

� In the second

phase of

photosynthesis,

called the Calvin

cycle, energy is

stored in organic

molecules such

as glucose.

Section 2


Cellular Energy

Photosynthesis

�Six CO2 molecules combine with six 5-carbon

compounds to form twelve 3-carbon molecules

called 3-PGA.

�The chemical energy stored in ATP and

NADPH is transferred to the 3-PGA molecules

to form high-energy molecules called G3P.

Section 2

Cellular Energy

Photosynthesis

�Two G3P molecules leave the cycle to be used

for the production of glucose and other organic

compounds.

�An enzyme called rubisco converts the

remaining ten G3P molecules into 5-carbon

molecules called RuBP.

�These molecules combine with new carbon

dioxide molecules to continue the cycle.

Section 2

Cellular Energy

Photosynthesis

Alternative Pathways

�C4 plants

�CAM plants

Section 2

Overview of Cellular Respiration

�Organisms obtain energy in a process called

cellular respiration.

Cellular Respiration

Cellular Energy

�The equation for cellular respiration is the

opposite of the equation for photosynthesis.

Section 3


Cellular Energy

�Cellular respiration occurs in two main parts.

�Glycolysis

�Aerobic respiration

Section 3

Glycolysis

�Glucose is broken down in the cytoplasm

through the process of glycolysis.


Cellular Energy

�Two molecules of ATP and two molecules

of NADH are formed for each molecule of

glucose that is broken down.

Section 3

Krebs Cycle

�Glycolysis has a net result of two ATP and

two pyruvate.


Cellular Energy

�Most of the energy from the glucose is still

contained in the pyruvate.

�The series of reactions in which pyruvate is

broken down into carbon dioxide is called the

Krebs cycle.

Section 3


Cellular Energy

�The net yield from the

Krebs cycle is six CO2

molecules, two ATP,

eight NADH, and two

FADH2.

Section 3



Cellular Energy

Electron Transport

�Final step in the breakdown of glucose

�Point at which ATP is produced

�Produces 24 ATP

Section 3


Cellular Energy

Anaerobic Respiration

�The anaerobic pathway that follows glycolysis

�Two main types

�Lactic acid fermentation

�Alcohol fermentation
