ATP-ADP Cycle

But first..

Autotrophs Heterotrophs

Make their own food Can NOT make own

with light phototrophs food they get their
with chemicals -- chemotrophs energy by the foods
they eat

Transformation of Energy
Energy is the ability to do work.

Thermodynamics is the study of the flow and transformation

of energy in the universe.
Laws of Thermodynamics

First law - Energy can be converted from one form to

another, but it cannot be created nor destroyed.

Second law - Energy cannot be converted without

the loss of usable energy.

HE
AT
 Carbohydrates
most commonly broken down to make
ATP.
not stored in large amounts
up to 36 ATP from one glucose molecule

Lipids
store the most energy.
80% of energy in your body
About 146 ATP from a triglyceride

Proteins
least likely to be broken down to make ATP.
amino acids not usually needed for energy
about the same amount of energy as a carb.

Using Biochemical Energy

1) Movement in cell

2) Protein synthesis

3) Active Transport

(Low to high concentration across membrane)
