Study Notes
- Understanding photosynthesis, cellular respiration, and fermentation is key to understanding how living organisms obtain and use energy.
- Photosynthesis is the primary source of energy and oxygen for life on Earth.
- Cellular respiration and fermentation allow organisms to break down food molecules to release energy.
Photosynthesis: Definition
- The process by which cells capture energy from sunlight and use it to make food.
Photosynthesis: Purpose
- Nearly all living organisms obtain energy directly or indirectly from sunlight through photosynthesis.
- Most of the oxygen in Earth's atmosphere is produced by photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis: Process Overview
- Chloroplasts in plant cells capture sunlight for energy.
- Water (H2O) and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) are required.
- Reactions occur within chloroplasts.
- Oxygen (O2) and Glucose (C6H12O6) are produced.
Photosynthesis: Reactants and Products
- Reactants: Water and Carbon Dioxide
- Products: Sugar (Glucose) and Oxygen
Photosynthesis: Chemical Equation
- 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2
Cellular Respiration: Definition
- The process by which cells extract energy from glucose.
Cellular Respiration: Process Overview
- Food is consumed and broken down into smaller molecules by the digestive system.
- Molecules travel from the digestive system into the bloodstream and reach cells.
- Initial glucose breakdown occurs in the cytoplasm.
- Further breakdown occurs in mitochondria and requires oxygen, releasing substantial energy.
- Carbon dioxide and water are produced and expelled from the cell.
Cellular Respiration: Reactants and Products
- Reactants: Sugar (Glucose) and Oxygen.
- Products: Water and Carbon Dioxide.
Cellular Respiration: Chemical Equation
- C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy
Cellular Respiration: Comparison with Photosynthesis
- Photosynthesis equation is the reverse of cellular respiration.
- Photosynthesis converts CO2 and H2O to sugars and O2 using light energy.
- Cellular respiration converts sugars and O2 back into CO2 and H2O, releasing energy.
Fermentation: Definition
- The process by which cells release energy without using oxygen.
Fermentation: Types
- Alcoholic Fermentation
- Occurs in yeast and some single-celled organisms.
- Produces alcohol, carbon dioxide, and a small amount of energy.
- Bakers use it to create gas pockets in dough, making bread rise.
- Lactic Acid Fermentation
- Occurs when muscle cells need more oxygen than available.
- Cells break down glucose without oxygen, producing lactic acid.
- Lactic acid provides temporary muscle energy, and contributes to muscle soreness after intense exercise, dissipating within an hour.
Conclusion
- Photosynthesis, cellular respiration, and fermentation are interconnected processes essential for life.
- Photosynthesis captures and converts solar energy into chemical energy, producing oxygen and food.
- Cellular respiration and fermentation harness this energy to power cellular functions.
- These biochemical pathways show the interdependence of life forms on Earth.
