makes own food
eats food
What is ATP
adenosine triphosphate stores and releases energy in cells
What is the basic energy source for all cells?
ATP
What is ATP made of
adenine, ribose (5-carbon sugars), and 3 phosphate groups
ADP (adenosine diposphate)
2 phosphate groups
cell can store small amounts of energy by adding phosphate group to make ADP. Used form and can be recharged back into ATP.
How does ATP release energy
by breaking bond holding lost phosphate group together
What is energy from ATP used for?
active transport across cell membrane
protien synthesis
muscle contraction
what do most cells have small amounts of and what are they regenerated by?
most cells have small amount of ATP, but easily regenerated from ADP using energy from food
photosynthesis
process by green plants make high energy carbohydrates and oxygen from water and carbon dioxide
Photosynthesis equation
6C02 + 6H20 sunlight C6 H12 O6 + 6O2
Jan van Helmot
determined mass of dry soil and seedling then planted seedling and watered regularly. 5 years later gained 75Kg but mass of soil was unchanged and concluded that mass came from water
joseph Priestly
lit a candle and placed glass jar over it and candle went out said that something in the air needed for fire to burn
he put a live mint under the jar for a few days then lit the candle and the candle stayed lit longer
mint produced oxygen for what fire needed to burn
jan ingenhouze
tried priestly’s experiment in the dark showed light is needed to produce oxygen
pigments
plants absorb suns energy with light absorbing molecules
chlorophyl
main pigment in plants
what are the two types of chlorophyl
chlorophyll (a)
chlorophyll (b)
What is light
light is energy so any compound that absorbs light absorbs energy from light
what happens when chlorophyl absorbs light
energy is transformed to electrons in chlorophyl and raises energy (imagine giving a 5 year old redbull)
What do the high energy electrons do?
do the work of photosynthesis
