One Way Energy Flow and Materials Cycling:

In nearly all cases, energy flow starts with energy from the sun.

Solar energy is captured by producers, organisms that make their own food.

Most of the energy the producers capture is lost to the environment, but some is passed on to consumers and decomposers.

Energy flows in only one direction, into the ecosystem, through its organisms, and out into the environment.

In contrast, materials are typically cycled among the array of organisms of the ecosystem.

Activation Energy:

Before reactants can enter a metabolic reaction, they must be activated. The amount of energy needed to allow reactants to spontaneously proceed to end products is called
the activation energy. An enzyme cannot change the energy of the reactants or the products, but it can lower the activation energy. Enzymes lower the amount of activation
energy required for reactions to proceed.

Feedback Inhibition:

In this example, three enzymes act in sequences to convert a substrate to an end product. When end product molecules accumulate, some bind to one of the enzymes on the
synthesis pathway. This disables that enzyme, blocking the pathway and preventing synthesis of more end product.

Cellular Respiration:

Major energy molecule in organisms is ATP. ATP synthesis is driven by the metabolic breakdown of molecules such as glucose in cell respiration. Aerobic respiration begins in the
cytosol and is completed in the mitochondrion. Three stages of aerobic respiration: glycolysis (in the cytosol) converts sugars into two smaller molecules, glucose and

Energy Input and Release in Glycolysis:

Glycolysis breaks the 6 carbon sugar glucose into two 3 carbon molecules of pyruvate. The first steps of glycolysis require an energy input in the form of two phosphate group
transfers from ATP. These foster relations raise the energy level of glucose enough to allow the energy releasing steps of glycolysis to take place. During the energy releasing
steps glucose is split into two 3 carbon molecules NAD picks up hydrogen and electrons from intermediates to become NADH, and 4 ATP are produced. Because the first steps
required an input of two ATP, the net yield of ATP from glycolysis is two ATP per molecule of glucose. Pyruvate and the electrons and hydrogen carried by NADH will be used in
later stages of aerobic respiration.
