Energy represents the capacity to do work.Cells must acquire energy from their environment.
In life, energy transformations consist primarily of movement of molecules and changes in chemical bonds.
Metabolismis the set of chemical reactions that
happen in living organisms to maintain life
CatabolismReleasing energy by
breaking down of larger molecules into
smaller onesDigestion
AnabolismStoring energy by
creating larger molecules from smaller ones.

Ch.8 – Cellular Energy 8.1 – How organisms obtain energy
All living cells use adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for capture, transfer, and storage of energy.
Ch.8 – Cellular Energy 8.1 – How organisms obtain energy
Each cell needs millions
of ATP molecules per
second in order to drive its
biochemical machinery
Autotrophsare able to create glucose from inorganic substances.
That glucose is broken down to form ATP molecules

The story of how living things make ATP starts with…
Ch.8 – Cellular Energy 8.2 – Photosynthesis
•The light reactions (in the thylakoids) split water, release O2, produce ATP, and form NADPH
•The Calvin cycle (in the stroma) forms sugar from CO2, using ATP and NADPH
•The Calvin cycle begins with carbon fixation, incorporating CO2 into organic molecules

Ch.8 – Cellular Energy 8.2 – Photosynthesis
Photosystem II• Light energy is used to split
an H2O molecule• When H2O splits
- O2 is released- protons (H+ ions) stay in
the thylakoid space &- an activated electron
enters the electron transport chain.
Ch.8 – Cellular Energy 8.2 – Photosynthesis
Electron Transport ChainElectrons are moved through
the thlakoid membrane and more protons are pumped into the thylakoid space
Ch.8 – Cellular Energy 8.2 – Photosynthesis
Photosystem I•Light reenergizes the electrons
•The reenergized electon is transferred to
NADP+ Reductase to form an NADPH from NADP+
Ch.8 – Cellular Energy 8.2 – PhotosynthesisChemiosmosis
• Protons build up in the thylakoid space and create a concentration gradient
• Protons then move across the thylakoid membrane through ATP synthase which causes ADP to convert to ATP

Ch.8 – Cellular Energy 8.3 - Cellular respiration
• Glycolysis (“splitting of sugar”) breaks
down glucose into two molecules of pyruvate
• Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm and has two major phases:
-Energy investment phase -Energy payoff phase
Net ATP = 2
Ch.8 – Cellular Energy 8.3 - Cellular respiration
Citric Acid Cycle or
Krebs Cycle
Before the citric acid cycle can begin, pyruvate must be converted to
Acetyl CoA
It takes place in the matrix of the mitochondria
Ch.8 – Cellular Energy 8.3 - Cellular respiration
Citric Acid Cycle or
Krebs Cycle
The acetyl group of acetyl CoA joins the cycle by combining
with the 4-C compound,
oxaloacetate, forming citric acid
(citrate)
Ch.8 – Cellular Energy 8.3 - Cellular respiration
Citric Acid Cycle or
Krebs Cycle
The next seven steps decompose the citrate back to oxaloacetate
The NADH and FADH2 produced by the cycle send electrons to the
electron transport chain
Ch.8 – Cellular Energy 8.3 - Cellular respiration
•e- from NADH & FADH2 pass through protein complexes in the cristae (inner membrane)•This causes H+ to be pumped out of the matrix
To give you an idea of how much ATP we require to survive…
We take in about 2 x 1020 molecules of O2 per breath200,000,000,000,000,000,000
Ch.8 – Cellular Energy 8.3 - Cellular respiration
•O2 diffuses into the matrix and bonds with the e- passing through the transport chain.
•H+ diffuses through ATP synthase back into the matrix (chemiosmosis) creating ATP (phosphorilation)
Ch.8 – Cellular Energy 8.3 - Cellular respirationMaking energy when there is no oxygen
Anaerobic Respiration or
Fermentation
It is essentially a cell just relying on glycolysis for its energy needs
Only produces 2 ATP per glucose molecule (not the 36 or 38 that aerobic respiration can create)
Other molecules are created through reactions that provide the NAD+ needed for glycolysis to occur
ATP can be created much faster than with aerobic respiration (just in smaller quantities)
