What powers a cell?

• Photosynthesis experiments showed us that LightLight is used by plants as the energy to synthesize Glucose.

• And we know ATP the source of energy (the little rechargeable battery) used to by all cells to do work

Page 2: What powers a cell? LightPhotosynthesis experiments showed us that Light is used by plants as the energy to synthesize Glucose. And we know ATP the source.

Our guiding question• The energy source for nearly all ecosystems is the sun• The energy source for nearly all cellular processes is ATP

• How is energy from the sun transformed and stored in molecules of ATP to be used for cellular work?

The goal:

We will learn the inputs and outputs of cellular respiration and where it takes place.

Cellular respiration• Glucose is broken into carbon dioxide and

water to gain energy to build ATP

• Oxygen is required as an input

• Most of the process occurs in mitochondria

INPUTS•Glucose•Oxygen•(ADP + P)

OUTPUTS•Carbon dioxide•Water•ATP
