Section Objectives:
CELL ENERGY
•
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-fK
• All living organisms must be able to obtain
energy from the environment in which they
live.
• Plants and other green organisms are able to
trap the light energy in sunlight and store it in the bonds of certain molecules for later use.
Cell Energy
• Other organisms cannot use sunlight directly. • They eat green
plants. In that
way, they obtain the
energy stored in plants.
Cell Energy
• Active transport, cell division, movement of flagella or cilia, and the production,
transport, and storage of proteins are some examples of cell processes that require
energy.
Work and the need for energy
Work and the need for energy
• There is a molecule in your cells that is a
quick source of energy for any organelle in
• The name of this energy molecule is
adenosine triphosphate or ATP for short.
• ATP is composed of an adenosine molecule with three phosphate groups attached.
Work and the need for energy
• The charged phosphate groups act like the positive poles of two magnets.
• Bonding three phosphate groups to form
adenosine triphosphate requires considerable
energy.
Forming and Breaking Down ATP
• When only one phosphate group bonds, a
small amount of energy is required and the
chemical bond does not store much energy. This molecule is called adenosine
monophosphate (AMP).
Forming and Breaking Down ATP
Forming and Breaking Down ATP
• When a second phosphate group is added, more energy is required to force the two groups together. This molecule is called
• An even greater amount of energy is
required to force a third charged phosphate group close enough to the other two to form a bond. When this bond is broken, energy is released.
Forming and Breaking Down ATP
• The energy of ATP becomes available to a cell when the molecule is broken down.

Forming and Breaking Down ATP
• When ATP is broken down and the energy is released, the energy must be captured and
used efficiently by cells.
• Many proteins have a specific site where ATP can bind.
How cells tap into the energy stored in ATP
• Then, when the phosphate bond is
broken and the energy
released, the cell can
use the energy for activities such as
making a protein or
transporting molecules through the plasma
membrane.

How cells tap into the energy stored in ATP

the ADP is released from the binding site in the protein and the binding site may then be filled by another ATP molecule.

Question 1
What is the primary difference in the ways that plants and animals obtain energy?
Answer
All living organisms need energy. Plants can trap light energy in sunlight and store it for later use. Animals cannot trap energy from sunlight and must eat plants that contain
stored energy.
Question 2
Why does the formation of ATP require energy?
One molecule of ATP contains three
phosphate groups, which are charged particles. Energy is required to bond the phosphate
groups onto the same molecule because they behave the same way that the poles of magnets do and repel groups with like charges. When the ATP molecule is broken down, the
chemical energy stored in it becomes available to the cell for life processes.
Question 3
A molecule of adenosine that has one phosphate group bonded to it is ______. A. AMP
B. ADP C. ATP D. ACP
The answer is A. AMP is adenosine monophosphate.
The addition and release of a phosphate group on adenosine diphosphate creates a cycle of ATP formation and
breakdown.

The chloroplast and pigments
The chloroplast and pigments
• To trap the energy in the sun’s light, the
thylakoid membranes contain pigments,
molecules that absorb specific wavelengths of sunlight.
• Although a photosystem contains several kinds of pigments, the most common is
chlorophyll.
Light-Dependent Reactions
Light-Dependent Reactions
• As sunlight strikes the chlorophyll molecules in a photosystem of the thylakoid membrane,
the energy in the light is transferred to
electrons.
