Systems

forms of energy
Look around our classroom.
Identify as many forms of energy being used
as you can.
Write them down in your notebook.
The Forms of Energy

Now can you add more forms of energy?

Chemical Energy
Organisms use and store energy in the chemical
bonds of organic compounds.
What do you think is the ultimate source of most
of the energy in organic compounds?

Almost all of the

energy in organic
compounds comes
from the sun!

where does food come

from?
Autotrophs
auto = self
troph = nutrition/feed

Heterotrophs
hetero = other

Metabolism & the carbon

cycle
Metabolism uses energy to build organic
molecules, or breaks down organic
molecules in which energy is stored

Photosynthesis
Some organisms can convert solar energy
into organic compounds in the process of
photosynthesis

Photosynthesis

6 CO2 + 6 H2O

C6H12O6 (glucose) + O2

Chloroplast anatomy
Thylakoid - Light
Reactions
Granum - stack of
thylakoids
Stroma - Calvin
Cycle

cellular respiration
Organisms extract energy stored in glucose
molecules through cellular respiration

Cellular Respiration
C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6O2

ATP

6 CO2 + 6 H2O + energy

What does it all mean??

Photosynthesis
6 CO 2 + H2O

C6H12O6 + 6 O2

Cellular Respiration

ATP
Adenosine triphosphate
An organic molecule that is the main energy
source for cell processes
