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

 ATP-ADP Cycle
• ATP – ADP Cycle
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.

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)
