Chapter 8Energy in a Cell
What you will Learn
You will learn what ATP is.
You will explain how ATP provides energy for the cell.You will describe how chloroplasts trap the sun’s energy to make ATP and complex carbohydrates.You will compare ATP production in mitochondria and chloroplasts.
ATP in a MoleculeCell Energy; essential to life
▪Work and need for energy▸All living organisms must be able to produce
energy from the environment.▸Store energy for future use.▸Use energy in a controlled manner.
▪Processes that require energy▸Active transport, cell division, muscles contracting,
etc..
Energy source in cells
ATPadenosine triphosphate▪ATP is composed of an adenosine
molecule with 3 phosphate groups attatched▸Phosphate groups are charged molecules.
Forming and Breaking Down ATP
▪The charged phosphate groups act likepositive poles of two magnets.▸Hard to attrack two with the same charges, takes a
lot of energy (ADP, adenosine diphosphate).▸Tremendous amount of energy to attrack the third
phosphate group.–The thrid one wants to get away and when it does the bond
is broken releasing a great amount of energy.
▸The energy from the ATP becomes available and the resulting molecule is ADP which can attrack another phosphate group to make ATP and the whole cycle starts over.

Tapping the energy stored in
ATP▪When energy is released, cells must have
a way to capture the energy or it is wasted.▪Celluar proteins have a specific site where
ATP can bind.▪When the third phosphate group s bond is
broken, the cell can capture the energy released and use the energy.

Uses of the Cell Energy
▪Making new Molecules.▪Cell Reproduction.▪Maintaining homeostasis.▪Kidney functions▪Exercising.
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
Trapping the Sun’s Energy
▪Process plant’s use to trap the sun’s energy and build carbohydrates, glucose, that store energy.
