  • Honors Biology Carbohydrates
  • Slide 2
  • Objectives Use a model to illustrate how photosynthesis transforms light energy into stored chemical energy. Construct and revise an explanation based on evidence for how carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen from sugar molecules may combine with other elements to form amino acids and/or other large carbon-based molecules. Use a model to illustrate that cellular respiration is a chemical process whereby the bonds of food molecules and oxygen molecules are broken and the bonds in new compounds are formed resulting in a net transfer of energy.

  • Atoms
  • Slide 4
  • Recall: Macromolecules BIG biological molecules Made of smaller parts Monomers Carbon-based (organic) Carbohydrates Nucleic acids Proteins Lipids
  • Slide 5
  • Carbohydrates Monomer: monosaccharide Used for: Short term energy Structural support Cell tags (antennae) Examples: Fun fact: many carbohydrates have names that end in -ose
  • Slide 6
  • Monosaccharides Simple (one sugar) carbohydrates Example: glucose
  • Slide 7
  • Disaccharides Simple (two sugars bonded) carbohydrates Example: lactose
  • Slide 8
  • Polysaccharides Complex (many sugars bonded) carbohydrates Example: starch, glycogen, chitin
  • Slide 9
  • Photosynthesis
  • Slide 10
  • How do we get carbohydrates? Photosynthesis Creates glucose (C 6 H 12 O 6 ) from CO 2, H 2 O and sunlight Reactants Products
  • Slide 11
  • Why does life depend on photosynthesis? Autotrophs are the basis of all Earths ecosystems Provide food for all organisms (directly and indirectly) Provide O 2 and remove CO 2 from atmosphere
  • Slide 12
  • How does photosynthesis happen? The Details: Series of 2 reactions: Light Dependent Reactions Location: chloroplast Purpose: harvest solar energy to prepare to make sugars Events: chlorophyll absorbs light, H 2 O is split, O 2 is released Calvin Cycle Location: chloroplast Purpose: make sugars Events: CO 2 is incorporated into C 6 H 12 O 6 with H from H 2 O

  • Cellular Respiration
  • Slide 14
  • How do we get energy? From eating.unless you are a plant, right? Not so fast Glucose (and other macromolecules) is not usable energy for cells Glucose must be converted to usable energy (ATP)
  • Slide 15
  • ATP Adenosine triphosphate Molecule that is usable energy for cells Energy is found in bonds between phosphate groups
  • Slide 16
  • ATP = Lifes Battery ATP is a rechargeable molecule Energy releasing reaction: ATP loses a P Adenosine diphosphate is left (ADP) Energy is released for cellular use Energy storing reaction: P is reattached to ADP using energy from food ATP is made again Energy is stored for next time cell needs it
  • Slide 17
  • How do we make ATP? Cellular respiration Converts energy from glucose into ATP Now cells can do work!
  • Slide 18
  • Why does life depend on cellular respiration? Cells cant use glucose as it is, must have ATP to function This includes plant cells! All cells must go through cellular respiration
  • Slide 19
  • How does cellular respiration happen? The Details: Series of 3 reactions: Glycolysis Location: cytoplasm Purpose: begin breakdown of C 6 H 12 O 6 Events: C 6 H 12 O 6 is split, 2 ATP made (glyco = sugar; -lysis = break) Krebs Cycle Location: mitochondria Purpose: continue breakdown of C 6 H 12 O 6 Events: CO 2 is released, 2 ATP made Electron Transport Chain Location: mitochondria Purpose: complete breakdown of, C 6 H 12 O 6 make ATP Events: O 2 is used, H 2 O is formed, 32-34 ATP is made
  • Slide 20
  • Aerobic Respiration Cellular respiration with oxygen Produces 36-38 ATP per glucose
  • Slide 21
  • Anaerobic Respiration Cellular respiration without oxygen Much less efficient at converting glucose to ATP Occurs in 2 steps: 1. Glycolysis 2. Lactic Acid Fermentation (animals) OR Alcoholic Fermentation (plants)
  • Slide 22
  • Lactic Acid Fermentation Animals Some bacteria, some fungus Lactic acid is produced Why muscles are sore after a hard workout
  • Slide 23
  • Alcohol Fermentation Plants Some bacteria, some fungus Ethanol, CO 2 produced How yeast makes bread rise How alcoholic beverages are produced
  • Slide 24
  • Fermentation is useful
  • Slide 25
  • Carbohydrates: Big Picture
  • Slide 26
  • We eat more than carbohydrates
