How Organisms Obtain Energy

Section 8.1Pg 218-221

What is energy?

Energy is the ability to do work!

Thermodynamics

• Thermodynamics is the study of the flow and transformation of energy in the universe.

2 Laws!First law — energy can be converted from oneform to another, but it cannot be created nor

destroyed.Second law — energy cannot be converted

without the loss of usable energy.

How do you get your energy?

Autotrophs and Heterotrophs

• Organisms, such as plants, which make their own food, are called autotrophs.

• Organisms, such as animals, that must obtain energy from the foods they consume are heterotrophs.

Autotrophs and Heterotrophs

◦ Living things need energy to survive.◦ This energy comes from food. The energy in most food comes from the sun.

Metabolism

• All the chemical reactions in a cell is referred to as the cells metabolism.

• Brainpop

Metabolic pathways

• Catabolic-release energy by breaking down large molecules into small ones

• Anabolic- use energy to build large molecules from small molecules.

• Photosynthesis—light energy from the Sun is converted to chemical energy for use by the cell

• Is this Catabolic or Anabolic?

• Cellular respiration—organic molecules are broken down to release energy for use by the cell

• Is this Catabolic or Anabolic?

?Confused?

Don’t worry we will talk more about these two processes in 8.2 and 8.3.

• Energy comes in many forms including light, heat, and electricity.

• Energy can be stored in chemical compounds, too.

ATP = ENERGY!!!

• An important chemical compound that cells use to store and release energy is adenosine triphosphate, abbreviated ATP.

• ATP is used by all types of cells as their basic energy source.

• ATP consists of 3 parts:o adenineo ribose (a 5-carbon sugar)o 3 phosphate groups

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.

Storing Energy

• ADP or adenosine diphosphate has two phosphate groups instead of three.

• A cell can store small amounts of energy by adding a phosphate group to ADP

Releasing Energy

• Energy stored in ATP is released by breaking the chemical bond between the second and third phosphates.

The role of ATP

• The energy from ATP is needed for many cellular activities, including active transport across cell membranes, protein synthesis and muscle contraction.

• ATP’s characteristics make it exceptionally useful as the basic energy source of all cells.

• This is why ATP is known as the energy currency of the cell!!

Which law of thermodynamics explains why the ladybug receives the least

amount of usable energy?
