1. I can explain in detail the flow of energy through living systems
2. I can compare the chemical processes of autotrophs and heterotrophs
3. I can describe the role of ATP in metabolism
4. I can describe how energy is released by ATP.
Muhammad Asif
Metabolism: all of the chemical reactions that take place within an organism
Metabolic pathways alter molecules in a series of steps.
Enzymes selectively accelerate each step. enzymes are regulated to maintain a
balance of supply and demand.
Muhammad Asif
Catabolic reactions give off energy by breaking down complicated molecules to simpler compounds.
Anabolic reactions use energy to build complicated molecules from simpler compounds.
The energy released by catabolic pathways is used to drive anabolic pathways.
Muhammad Asif
Muhammad Asif
Autotrophs make their own food through anabolic reactions Many autotrophs carry out photosynthesis
Heterotrophs can not make their own food Heterotrophs must eat other organisms to
obtain energy from food through catabolic reactions
Heterotrophs utilize cellular respiration
Muhammad Asif
ATP powers cellular work A cell does three main kinds of work:
Mechanical work, beating of cilia, contraction of muscle cells, and movement of chromosomes
Transport work, pumping substances across membranes against the direction of spontaneous movement
Chemical work, driving endergonic reactions such as the synthesis of polymers from monomers
Muhammad Asif
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is a type of nucleotide consisting of the nitrogenous base adenine, the sugar ribose, and a chain of three phosphate groups.
Muhammad Asif
The bonds between phosphate groups can be broken by hydrolysis.
Muhammad Asif
Energy is stored in these bonds.So?The breaking of the chemical bond
releases the energyATP + H2O→ ADP + P +
ENERGY
Muhammad Asif
The process by which mitochondria break down glucose to make ATP
In order for our bodies to use the energy, the food must be broken down into a usable form What is the usable form of energy?
What type of process breaks down molecules?
Muhammad Asif
I can summarize how glucose is broken down in glycolysis.
I can describe how ATP is made in cellular respiration.
I can identify the role of fermentation in cellular respiration.
I can evaluate the importance of oxygen in aerobic respiration.
Muhammad Asif
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + 38 ATP Overall this is a three stage process1. Glycolysis:
• Occurs in the cytoplasm• Glucose is broken down
2. Krebs Cycle• Breaks down pyruvate into CO2• Occurs in mitochondrial matrix
3. Electron Transport Chain• ATP is synthesized
Muhammad Asif
Glyco = glucose Lysis = break down Occurs in the cytoplasm This stage occurs in BOTH aerobic and
anaerobic respiration Glucose breaks down into 2 pyruvate (2 ATP
are also made) Glucose is a 6-carbon sugar Pyruvate is a 3-carbon molecule (there are
two of them) See diagram on simple explanation handout
Muhammad Asif
Reactants 1 glucose Enzymes are
needed 2 ATP are needed
to start
Products 2 Pyruvates (go to
next step) 4 ATP (2 are
gained) 2 NADH (go to
ETC)
Muhammad Asif
Pyruvate is converted to acetyl CoA
Occurs in the cytoplasm
See diagram on simple explanation handout
Muhammad Asif
Reactants 2 pyruvate (from
glycolysis)
Products 2 Acetyl CoA (go to
next step) 2 CO2 (given off as
waste) 2 NADH (go to
ETC)
Muhammad Asif
Occurs in the matrix of mitochondria A series of reactions occur (this is
not just one step)Main purpose is to generate
electrons for use in ETC2 ATP is given off
See diagram on simple explanation handout
Muhammad Asif
Reactants 2 Acetyl CoA
Products 2 ATP 6 NADH (go to
ETC) 2 FADH2 (go to
ETC) 4 CO2 (given off as
waste)
Muhammad Asif
Occurs in inner membrane of mitochondria
Series (chain) of coupled redox reactions (electrons are transported through the chain)
Electrons carried to this step by NADH and FADH2 (produced in previous steps)
Oxygen is used in this step Water is given off
Muhammad Asif
Reactants 10 NADH 2 FADH2
Oxygen
Products 34 ATP H2O
Muhammad Asif
2 ATP made in glycolysis2 ATP made in Krebs Cycle34 ATP made in ETC
1 NADH = 3 ATPo 10 X 3 = 30
1 FADH2 = 2 ATPo2 X 2 = 4
Muhammad Asif
GlycolysisYields 2 pyruvate and 2 ATPWith no oxygen present, cellular
respiration does not occurONLY 2 ATP ARE PRODUCED
(compare to aerobic respiration)
Muhammad Asif
Alcoholic Fermentation Pyruvate converted
to ethyl alcohol and CO2
Carried out by yeast and some bacteria
Used in producing alcohol (both consumable and for ethanol), and for baking
Lactic Acid Fermentation
Pyruvate converted to lactic acid
Carried out by muscles when working hard (muscles need ATP but can’t get O2 )
Causes muscle soreness and cramps
Muhammad Asif
Carried out by most (not all) autotrophs
6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy→ C6H12O6 + 6O2
Basically this reaction is the OPPOSITE of cellular respiration
See simple explanation handout and text
Muhammad Asif
1. Light reaction (depends on light)• Traps sunlight• Produces electrons and ATP required to power
the dark reaction• Oxygen given off here
2. Dark reaction, aka Calvin Cycle (does not directly depend on light)
• Uses ATP and electrons from light reaction and CO2 to make glucose
See diagram on simple explanation handout
