Autotrophs and Heterotrophs
– Living things need energy to survive.
– This energy comes from food. The energy in most
food comes from the sun.
– Where do plants get the energy they need to
produce food?
Autotrophs and Heterotrophs
• Autotrophs and Heterotrophs
– Plants and some other types of organisms are
able to use light energy from the sun to produce
food.
Autotrophs and Heterotrophs
• Organisms, such as plants, which make their own food,
are called autotrophs.
• Organisms, such as animals, that must obtain energy
from the foods they consume are heterotrophs.
Chemical Energy and ATP
• Chemical Energy and ATP
• Energy comes in many forms including light, heat, and
electricity.
• Energy can be stored in chemical compounds, too.

Chemical Energy and ATP
• An important chemical compound that cells use to
store and release energy is adenosine triphosphate,
abbreviated ATP.
• ATP is used by all types of cells as their basic energy
source.
Chemical Energy and ATP
• ATP consists of:
– adenine
– ribose (a 5-carbon sugar)
– 3 phosphate groups

Chemical Energy and ATP
– What is the role of ATP in cellular activities?
Chemical Energy and ATP
The energy from ATP is needed for many cellular activities,
including active transport across cell membranes, protein
synthesis and muscle contraction.
ATP’s characteristics make it exceptionally useful as the basic
energy source of all cells.
Using Biochemical Energy
• Using Biochemical Energy
• Most cells have only a small amount of ATP, because it
is not a good way to store large amounts of energy.
• Cells can regenerate ATP from ADP as needed by using
the energy in foods like glucose.
How is it possible for most cells to function with only
a small amount of ATP?
1.Cells do not require ATP for
energy.
2.ATP can be quickly regenerated
from ADP and P.
3.Cells use very small amounts of
energy.
4.ATP stores large amounts of
energy.

8-2 Photosynthesis: An Overview
8-2 Photosynthesis: An Overview
• The key cellular process identified with energy
production is photosynthesis.
• Photosynthesis is the process in which green plants use
the energy of sunlight to convert water and carbon
dioxide into high-energy carbohydrates and oxygen.
Investigating Photosynthesis
– What did the experiments of van Helmont,
Priestley, and Ingenhousz reveal about how plants
grow?
Investigating Photosynthesis
• Investigating Photosynthesis
• Research into photosynthesis began centuries ago.
Investigating Photosynthesis
– Van Helmont’s Experiment
• In the 1600s, Jan van Helmont wanted to find out if
plants grew by taking material out of the soil.
• He determined the mass of a pot of dry soil and a small
seedling, planted the seedling in the pot, and watered
it regularly.
• After five years, the seedling was a small tree and had
gained 75 kg, but the soil’s mass was almost
unchanged.
Investigating Photosynthesis
• Van Helmont concluded that the gain in mass came
from water because water was the only thing he had
added.
• His experiment accounts for the “hydrate,” or water,
portion of the carbohydrate produced by
photosynthesis.
• But where does the carbon of the “carbo-” portion
come from?
Investigating Photosynthesis
• Although van Helmont did not realize it, carbon dioxide
in the air made a major contribution to the mass of his
tree.
• In photosynthesis, the carbon in carbon dioxide is used
to make sugars and other carbohydrates.
• Van Helmont had only part of the story, but he had
made a major contribution to science.

– In van Helmont's experiment, most of the added
mass of the tree came from
•
•
•
•
soil and carbon dioxide.
water and carbon dioxide.
oxygen and carbon dioxide.
soil and oxygen.
Investigating Photosynthesis
– Priestley’s Experiment
• More than 100 years after van Helmont’s experiment,
Joseph Priestley provided another insight into the
process of photosynthesis.
• Priestley took a candle, placed a glass jar over it, and
watched as the flame gradually died out.
• He reasoned that the flame needed something in the
air to keep burning and when it was used up, the flame
went out. That substance was oxygen.
Investigating Photosynthesis
• Priestley then placed a live sprig of mint under the jar
and allowed a few days to pass.
• He found that the candle could be relighted and would
remain lighted for a while.
• The mint plant had produced the substance required
for burning. In other words, it had released oxygen.
Investigating Photosynthesis
– Jan Ingenhousz
• Later, Jan Ingenhousz showed that the effect observed
by Priestley occurred only when the plant was exposed
to light.
• The results of both Priestley’s and Ingenhousz’s
experiments showed that light is necessary for plants to
produce oxygen.
Investigating Photosynthesis
– The experiments performed by van Helmont,
Priestley, and Ingenhousz led to work by other
scientists who finally discovered that, in the
presence of light, plants transform carbon dioxide
and water into carbohydrates, and they also
release oxygen.
The Photosynthesis Equation
– What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?
The Photosynthesis Equation
• The Photosynthesis Equation
• The equation for photosynthesis is:
• 6CO2 + 6H2O
Light
C6H12O6 + 6O2
• carbon dioxide + water
Light
sugars + oxygen
The Photosynthesis Equation
– Photosynthesis uses the energy of sunlight to
convert water and carbon dioxide into high-energy
sugars and oxygen.
Plants use the sugars produced in photosynthesis to make
….
1. oxygen.
2. starches.
3. carbon dioxide.

FYI Why do leaves change color?
• As fall comes there are
shorter days of
sunlight
• Less photosynthesis
means less food for
plants.
• Chlorophyll breaks
down and exposes
the other colors that
were there all along,
but were masked by
the green
chlorophyll.

light also absorbs energy from that light.
• When chlorophyll absorbs light, much of the energy is
transferred directly to electrons in the chlorophyll
molecule, raising the energy levels of these electrons.
• These high-energy electrons are what make
photosynthesis work.

Summary: Calvin Cycle
Overall Equation
The Calvin Cycle
• The Calvin Cycle
• ATP and NADPH formed by the light-dependent
reactions contain an abundance of chemical energy, but
they are not stable enough to store that energy for
more than a few minutes.
• During the Calvin cycle plants use the energy that ATP
and NADPH contain to build high-energy compounds
that can be stored for a long time.
•
The Calvin Cycle
» The Calvin cycle uses ATP and NADPH from the lightdependent reactions to produce high-energy sugars.
» Because the Calvin cycle does not require light, these
reactions are also called the light-independent reactions.

The Calvin Cycle
• The two sets of photosynthetic reactions work together.
– The light-dependent reactions trap sunlight energy in chemical
form.
– The light-independent reactions use that chemical energy to
produce stable, high-energy sugars from carbon dioxide and
water.
