DO NOW:. What is energy? What requires energy? How do cells obtain energy?. Energy is defined as the ability to do work There are two main forms of energy Potential and Kinetic. Energy and Thermodynamics. Two main categories of energy Stored energy is called Potential energy - PowerPoint PPT PresentationTRANSCRIPT
• Energy is defined as the ability to do work
• There are two main forms of energy– Potential and Kinetic
Energy and Thermodynamics
Two main categories of energy
Stored energy is called Potential energy
Energy has the “potential” to do work if released
Motion energy is called Kinetic energy
Energy which is being released and actively doing work
Energy and Thermodynamics
• Energy has many forms
– Chemical (glucose, ATP)
– Thermal (heat)
– Radiant (sun)
Energy and Thermodynamics
Energy is NOT created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another

BUT energy does “flow” to a point where the energy is converted to an unusable form (heat)

How is Matter “Changed” or rearranged in living things?
MetabolismALL the biochemical reactions in cells
used to obtain OR use energy (both building and breaking)
Breaking down foodBuilding bone and muscleGrowingRepair (healing)Cleanup (from an infection)
Ultimate Source of Energy
Released energy (Electromagnetic energy (radiation)
Plants convert EM energy to chemical energy (glucose)
What is ATP (Adenosine Tri-Phosphate)?• The only molecule cells can use to do
work in living things:
Adenine Ribose 3 Phosphate groups
Basically a Nucleotide with two extra phosphates!
What’s the deal with ATP?
• Energy molecule for life
• Hydrolyzing (breaking off) third phosphate frees energy which can be used to do work in the cell
• ADP (what is left) can be recycled.
What’s the deal with ATP
• To recycle ADP back to ATP, the cell uses energy from glucose to add a 3rd phosphate
• ATP is made again
Electron Carriers
• Molecules that “pick up” high energy electrons and carry them until their energy is needed elsewhere.
• Examples : NADH (CR); FADH2 (CR)
• NADPH
Electromagnetic Spectrum
• Energy can travel in vibrations or waves.
• Different types of energy have a different number of vibrations per period of time.
• This is called frequency.
• Scientists organize waves according to their frequency or wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum.
Light Energy
• Sunlight sometimes called white light, is a form of energy that we can see and it travels in waves.
• Wavelength: the distance between the crest of one wave and the crest of the next wave
Visible Light Spectrum
• Depends on wavelength
• Blue: 380 (nm)
• Green: 500 (nm)
• Yellow 560 (nm)
• Light red: 600 (nm)
• Darker red: 750 (nm)
1600s: Jan van Helmont
• Grew a small willow tree and only added water to the plant.
• After five years the tree gained 75 kg, but the soil had the same mass.
• Where did the new plant material come from?
1770s: Joseph Priestley
• Placed a plant in a closed container with a candle.– “damaged air”
• Candle will go out and animals cannot live under these conditions.
• Plants can live and restore the ability of the air to support a flame and an animal.
• How do plants interact with air?
A few years later…• Antoine Lavoisier
–Oxygen removed from air during burning
•Animals need oxygen to survive.
•What about plants?
Other discoveries in the 1700s…
• Jan Ingenhousz– Plants only give off oxygen in sunlight
• Jean Senebier– Plants take in carbon dioxide during growth in
sunlight
Autotrophs
• Organisms that are capable of making food from simple inorganic substances
• EX: green plants, algae
Two Types of Autotrophs
• 1. Photoautotrophs: use carbon dioxide and light energy to drive reactions needed to make food
• 2. Chemoautotrophs: utilize inorganic chemicals for the energy to drive food making reactions
Heterotrophs
• Organisms that cannot make their own food and must depend on other plants or animals as food source
• Examples: ___________
PIGMENTS
• Pigments: absorb light
• EX: a red object absorbs all the visible colors of the spectrum except red which is reflected and gives the object the red color
Types of Photosynthetic Pigments
a. Chlorophyll: appear green absorbs red and blue light
b. Carotenes: appear orange
c. Xanthophylls: appear yellow
