ENERGY AND LIFE
• Energy- Ability to do work• No energy = no life• Laws of thermodynamics• First law- energy can be converted from one form to
another, but it cannot be created nor destroyed. • Second law- energy cannot be converted without the
loss of useable energy (thermal energy/heat)• Example : Food chains
Forms of Energy
Energy comes in many forms:LightHeatElectricity . . . Energy can also be stored in the bonds of chemical compounds.
AUTOTROPHS AND HETEROTROPHS
• Autotrophs- organisms that make their own food from energy from the sun or other sources• Known as producers
• Heterotrophs- organisms that need to ingest or consume food to obtain energy• Known as consumers
• ALL organisms have to release the energy in sugars and other compounds to live.
•Metabolism- all of the chemical reactions in a cell
• Photosynthesis- light energy from the sun is converted into chemical energy for use by the cell
• Cellular respiration- Organic molecules are broken down to release energy for use by the cell.
CHEMICAL ENERGY AND ATP
• ATP- Adenosine Triphosphate- Energy for the cell• Made of adenosine, ribose and three phosphates
• 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
•ADP + P
CHEMICAL ENERGY AND ATP (NOT IN NOTES)
• Storing energy- when bonds are formed, energy is stored• ADP- Adenosine diphosphate is similar to ATP, but
with two phosphates instead of three• Energy is stored when another phosphate is added to
ADP
RELEASING ENERGY
• Energy is released when bonds are broken•When a phosphate is removed from ATP, energy is
released• As many as two phosphates can be removed from ATP• Remove one phosphate = ADP• Remove two phosphates = AMP (Adenosine Monophosphate)
USING BIOCHEMICAL ENERGY
• 1. Cells use ATP for active transport, to move organelles in the cell, and to synthesize proteins and nucleic acids
• 2. Cells do not keep large amounts of ATP in the cell. The cell can regenerate ATP from glucose as needed• Cellular Respiration
• 3. ATP is great for transferring energy, but not for storing it.

PHOTOSYNTHESIS OVERVIEW
• Photosynthesis- The process by which plants use sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into sugar• The photosynthesis equation: • 6 CO2 + 6 H20 C6H12O6 + 6 O2
• Carbon dioxide and water sugar and oxygen• What are the products and the reactants?
PHOTOSYNTHESIS REQUIRES LIGHT
• Light is a mixture of wavelengths – ROY G BIV
• Pigments- light absorbing molecules- there are different types of pigments
• Chlorophyll- principal pigment that absorbs light in the blue-violet and red regions, but not the green• There are accessory pigments: like carotenoids (think carrot)
• Chlorophyll is found in the chloroplasts of leaves• This is why chloroplasts look green
Blue and red
Green and yellow

BLACKEST SUBSTANCE
PHOTOSYNTHESIS REACTIONS
Photosynthesis occurs within the chloroplasts of specialized cells within the leaves of plants.
PARTS OF THE CHLOROPLAST
Stroma –Liquid inside the chloroplast. Surrounds the thylakoid membranes.
Grana – (granum plural)Stacks of thylakoid membranes
Thylakoid –Membranes containing photosystems
Photosystems –Light capturing systems
DRAW THIS IN YOUR NOTES
TWO PROCESSES OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS
1. Light Dependent Reaction2. Calvin Cycle (Light Independent Reaction)
THE LIGHT REACTION
•Takes place in the membrane of the thylakoids
STEPS TO THE LIGHT REACTION: THYLAKOID MEMBRANE
• 1. Photons of light strike photosystem II in the thylakoid membrane• Light dependent
• 2. This causes water to split H2O H+ AND O• The hydrogen's are now positive (protons) because the e- (electron)
that they had are now “excited” and move to the Electron Transport Chain- ETC• ETC- think of a frying pan to move hot coal……• As the e- travels through the ETC, the energy is used to pump more
H+ into the thylakoid space
• The oxygen leaves out the stomata (pores in the leaf)• The H+ remain in the inside of the thylakoid
• 3. The e- travels through the ETC until it reaches photosystem I where it is re-excited with another photon of light
• 4. The re-excited electron is used to convert NADP+ into NADPH• NADP+ is an electron carrier that will take the electrons into the
second phase of photosynthesis
• 5. The H+ (protons) that are now in a HIGH concentration in the thylakoid space are now used to create ATP from ADP. • As they flow through to the stroma they pass through a
protein that adds a phosphate to ADP (ADP + P = ATP)
• 6. The ATP and the NADPH now head to the Calvin Cycle to act as the energy to drive the reaction
• Summary: Reactants- H20 and LightProducts – O2 ( as waste), ATP and NADPH
THE CALVIN CYCLE
•Takes place in the stroma (empty space)
STEPS TO THE CALVIN CYCLE: STROMA• The ATP and NADPH from the light reaction are used to “fuel “ the Calvin Cycle
• 1. (6) CO2 enter through the stomata (pores in the leaf)
• 2. CO2 combines with a (6) 5-carbon sugar Ribulose (1+5=6)
(6) 6-carbon sugars!
• 3.The 6 carbon sugars are then broken down into 12 3-carbon sugars • Because they were unstable
• 4. The 2 3-carbon sugars leave to make Glucose
• 5. The remaining 3-carbon sugars continue in the cycle for the next round

SUMMARY OF THE CALVIN CYCLE
Reactants- ATP, NADPH , and CO2Products: Glucose
SUMMARY OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS
• Two step process• 1. Light Dependent Reaction in the Thylakoid
membrane• 2. Light Independent Reaction (Calvin Cycle) in the
Stroma• The reactants : CO2 and H2O• The products: C6H12O6 AND O2
