has the longest lasting energy?3. What type of biological molecule
has the shortest lasting energy?
Relationships to Energy
How are some of the organic molecules that we have learned about relate to energy use?
How are some forms of transport related to energy use?
How are some of the organelles we have learned about related to energy?
Organic Molecules
Lipids and Carbohydrate organic molecules function as the quick storage of energy!
Transport and Energy
Active transport uses energy to pump molecules and particles from low concentration to high concentrations!
How is active transport used in the body to continue homeostasis?
Active Transport and Energy Active Transport uses energy to keep
our bodies stable in the following examples”
Pumping waste out of our cells Producing more energy in cellular
respiration
How about using our energy to maintain a balance things like food, water, mates?
Organelles and Energy
Chloroplasts in plants Uses energy in the cell to make glucose! Sun glucose
Mitochondria in plants and animals (Euks) Uses the glucose consumed (animals) or
made (plants) to make energy in the form of ATP!
Types of Energy

Metabolism Unit Topic
What did we say metabolism was?
Metabolism Unit Topic
Remember that we said: Organisms need to get energy from
the environment to survive. Metabolism is how organisms get
energy, use energy and dispose of waste by-products.
Bioenergetic Reactions
Bio = Life
Energetics = properties of energy
Reactions = a process that results in a product from reactant substances
Reactant + reactant product(s)
How do living
things get and use energy?
The transfer of energy
All energy on Earth comes from the sun
The transfer of energyAutotrophs store energy
from the sun in matter in a process called photosynthesis.
Autotrophs are also called producers.
The transfer of energyHeterotrophs get their
energy by eating autotrophs.
Heterotrophs are also called consumers.
The transfer of energy
Both autotrophs and heterotrophs release the potential energy stored in matter by cell respiration.
Photosynthesis vs. Cell Respiration
Photosynthesis
Cell Respiration
CO2 O2
= Storing energy
= Releasing energy
The flow of energy
Energy from the sun is captured by chloroplasts
Mitochondria change the energy made by the chloroplasts into fuel for the grass to grow.
Mitochondria change the energy made by the chloroplasts into fuel for the grass to grow.
The bunny eats the grass for energy
Chloroplasts store energy
Mitochondria release energy
There are 2 types of bioenergetic reactions we will explore:
Changing light energy (sunlight) into chemical energy (food energy).Sunlight → Food = __________________
Occurs in the ____________________________
Changing chemical energy (food energy) into usable energy (ATP).Food → ATP = ______________________Occurs in the ____________________________

Human sperm cells must move rapidly, often against gravity, in order to reach the egg before they die. Based on this information, which organelle would be more abundant in a sperm cell than a skin cell?
A. chloroplastsB. ribosomesC. nuclei D. mitochondria
What is ATP?
Watch as Ms. Kuipers demonstrates the process of converting (changing) energy from food into a form that cells can use. In the space below, record what happens during her demonstration. (What important steps do you think you are observing?)
Which form carried/stored the energy? ___________ Which form accepted the energy? ___________ How was the energy transferred? _______________________________________
________________________________________________________________________ How is energy stored (breaking or forming bonds)? ______________________ How is energy released (breaking or forming bonds)? ____________________
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) TRI = _____ The molecule that cells use to ______________ and _____________ energy
ADP (adenosine diphosphate) DI = _____ The molecule that cells use to ______________ energy
If a cell has _____________ amounts of extra energy it can store it by
_____________ a phosphate group (P). Then the ATP will be stored for use for ______________.
