I. Pathway of EnergyA. Energy Flow Chart

II. Photosynthesis – sunlight is captured using chlorophyll and is converted into chemical energy stored in bonds of carbohydrates.
A. Information1. Equation:6CO2 + 6H2O chlorophyll + sunlight> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Carbon water glucoseoxygen
dioxideREACTANTS PRODUCTSa) Chlorophyll is a green pigment found
in the chloroplast.2. Autotroph – organism that uses
sunlight to make their own food.

B. Where does it occur?1. Occurs in the chloroplast
a)Chloroplasts consists of stacks of membrane sacs called thylakoids.1)Stacks of thylakoids are called
grana.2)A fluid substance surrounds the
grana is called stroma.3)Chlorophyll is in the thylakoid
membrane.

C. Two main Steps1. Light Dependent Reactions:
a)Set of reactions that convert light energy to chemical energy.
b)Occurs in the grana of thylakoid.c)2 stages:
Stage 1: Sunlight is converted to electrical
energy -> electron transport. Sunlight is captured by chlorophyll
causing water molecules to split.
6
Light Dependent Reaction Stage 1
7
Stage 2: Electrons pass through the thylakoid membrane through a process called electron transport chain.
ATP (energy) is formed by this process.

2. Light Independent Reactions:a)Set of reactions that produce organic
compounds, using the chemical energy produced during the light dependent reactions.
b)Occurs in the stroma (outside the thylakoids).
c)Sometimes called ‘Dark Reactions.’d)Uses the Calvin Cycle.
Calvin Cycle: Series of reactions where Carbon from CO2
is ‘fixed’ to form a 6-carbon molecule (carbon fixation) makes glucose.

C3 plant – plants that uses the Calvin Cycle where two 3-carbon molecules are joined together to form a 6-carbon (glucose).
CAM – Crassulacean Acid Metabolism; desert plants take in CO2 at night and store as acid till sunlight was present.Advantage – prevents water moisture loss.

III. Respiration – process by which living organisms obtain energy from the bonds of food molecules.
A. Information1. Equation:
C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
glucose oxygen Carbon water energy
dioxide2. Autotrophs + heterotrophs (cannot make
their own food).3. Glucose (food) comes from
photosynthesis.
13
B. 2 Types of Respiration:1. Aerobic Respiration – respiration where
oxygen is abundantly present.a)Produces large amounts of Adenosine
triphospate (ATP).2. Anaerobic Respiration – respiration
where oxygen is NOT abundantly present.a)Produces small amounts of ATP.b)Also called fermentation.
C. The Cellular Respiration Process1. Glucose enters the body as food
digested taken into the cells by the bloodstream.
14
2. Glycolysis – process by which glucose (6-carbon sugar) is broken down into 2 pyruvic acid molecules (3-carbon)a)Occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.b)Produces 2 ATP from the breaking of
the bonds in glucose.c)Figure 9-2, page 222

Aerobic respiration is more efficient, because it produces more energy.

D. Adenosine triphosphate, ATP1. Composed of Adenine, ribose, 3
phosphate groups.2. Figure 8-2, p. 202
1. ADP vs. ATPa)ADP = adenosine diphosphate (2)b)ATP = adenosine triphosphate (3)

E. Anaerobic Respiration1. Lactic Acid Fermentation:
a)Occurs in animal cells (muscle cells).
2. Alcoholic Fermentation:a)Occurs in plant cells and yeast.b)Beer + wine is made this way.

IV. Oxygen, Carbon, and Nitrogen CyclesA. Oxygen + Carbon Cycles
23
B. Nitrogen cycle1. N makes up to 78% of the atmosphere.2. Nitrogen fixation – N2 gas is ocnverted
to ammonium compounds (NH4OH).
3. Ammonification – bacteria breakdown waste and decaying organisms to form ammonium compounds (NH4OH).
4. Nitrification – bacteria form nitrites (NO2) and nitrates (NO3).
5. Denitrification – bacteria breakdown nitrites and nitrates to form N2 gas.
