Intro to Cellular Energy and Photosynthesis
Process of cellular energy production through ATP and photosynthesis in plants. Understand how organelles like chloroplasts and mitochondria play vital roles. Unravel the significance of ATP as an energy-storing molecule and the essential role of sunlight in photosynthesis. Get insights into how these cellular processes impact all living organisms.

Intro to Cellular Energy Intro to Cellular Energy
Think about it Think about it What two organelles produce energy for the cell? What is your main source of energy?
ATP ATP ATP (aka Adenosine triphosphate) - energy-storing molecule in cells - Made of: *Adenosine *Ribose sugar *3 Phosphate Groups - Energy is released when a phosphate bond is broken (becomes adenosine diphosphate)
Photosynthesis Process by which plants convert water and carbon dioxide to glucose (sugar) and oxygen Takes plants in chloroplasts, where chlorophyll is stored Equation: 6CO2+ 6H2O C6H12O6+ 6O2 Carbon Dioxide + water glucose + oxygen
Photosynthesis Sunlight is needed for the process to take place, but sunlight is not really an ingredient Sometimes equation will look like: 6CO2+ 6H2O ---light-----> C6H12O6+ 6O2 Only plants perform photosynthesis, but ALL organisms depend on it because: 1. Animals need oxygen to breath 2. Consumers eat plants, or eat animals that eat plants
Cellular Respiration: Cellular Respiration: Process by which energy (glucose) is used in the cell to make ATP to use for movement, breathing, blood circulation, etc
Respiration occurs in mitochondria in ALL cells (plant AND animal) and can take place either with or without oxygen present.
Foldable We are going to create foldables that we will add to next week when we learn more details about photosynthesis and cellular respiration Remember, REACTANTS are like ingredients, they are what you start with PRODUCTS are what is PRODUCED, or what comes out at the end
