Cellular RespirationHarvesting Chemical Energy

ATP

Regents Biology

Energy needs of life Animals are energy consumers

What do we need energy for? synthesis (building) reproduction active transport (pumping) movement temperature control (making heat)

Regents Biology

Where do we get energy? Energy is stored in organic molecules

carbohydrates, fats, proteins Animals eat these organic molecules food

digest food to get fuels for energy (ATP) raw materials for building more molecules

carbohydrates, fats, proteins, nucleic acids

ATP

What is energy in biology?

Whoa! HOT stuff!

Adenosine TriPhosphate

Regents Biology

Harvesting energy stored in food Cellular respiration

breaking down food to produce ATP in mitochondria using oxygen

usually digesting glucose but could be other sugars,

fats, or proteins

glucose + oxygen carbon + water + energydioxide

C6H12O6 6O26CO2 6H2O ATP+ + + + heat

What do we need to make energy? The “Furnace” for making energy

mitochondria

Fuel food

carbohydrates, fats, proteins

The Helpers oxygen

“aerobic” enzymes

O2

even notices!

“Burn fuels” to make energycombustionmaking heat energy by burning fuels in one step

ATP

Using ATP to do work?

A working muscle recycles over 10 million ATPs per second

Can’t store ATP too unstableonly used in cell

that produces itonly short term

energy storage carbohydrates & fats

are long term energy storage

ATP

ADP + P

Whoa! Pass me the

glucose & oxygen!

What if oxygen is missing? Can’t complete aerobic respiration

Fermentation alcohol fermentation

yeast glucose ATP + CO2+ alcohol make beer, wine, bread

lactic acid fermentation bacteria, animals

glucose ATP + lactic acid bacteria make yogurt animals feel muscle fatigue

but only make a little bit of ATP!but only make a little bit of ATP!
