Study Guide 4.1: Chemical Energy and ATP

KEY CONCEPT: All cells need chemical energy.

VOCABULARY

ATP

ADP

chemosynthesis

MAIN IDEA: The chemical energy used for most cell processes is carried by ATP.

Circle the word or phrase that best completes the statement.

1. All cells use adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for energy. ATP is a molecule / organelle that transfers energy from the breakdown of ADP / food molecules to cell processes.

2. ATP is a high-energy / low-energy molecule that is converted into higher-energy / lower-energy ADP when a phosphate group is removed and energy is released.

3. ADP is converted back into ATP by the addition of a phosphate group / food molecule.

4. Put the letter of the appropriate statement into each box of the cycle diagram below to show

the relationship between ATP and ADP.

a. High-energy adenosine triphosphate (ATP)

b. Lower-energy adenosine diphosphate (ADP)

c. Energy added from breakdown of carbon-based molecules, phosphate

added

d. Phosphate removed, energy released

MAIN IDEA: Organisms break down carbon-based molecules to produce ATP.

Put the letter for each of the following six statements into the appropriate list to identify the roles of different types of molecules when they are broken down to make ATP.

a. molecules least likely to be broken down b. molecules most commonly broken down c. molecules that store most of the energy in a person's body d. triglyceride yields about 146 ATP e. glucose yields about 36 ATP f. store about the same amount of energy as carbohydrates

Type of Molecule Role in ATP Production

5. Carbohydrates

4 calories per mg (4 Calories per gram)

6. Lipids

=

9 calories per mg (9 Calories per gram)

7. Proteins

9 calories 4 calories per mg (4 Calories per gram)

MAIN IDEA: A few types of organisms do not need sunlight and photosynthesis as a source of energy. Circle the word or phrase that best completes the statement.

8. Chemosynthesis is a process by which some organisms use chemical energy / light energy instead of chemical energy / light energy to make energy-storing carbon-based molecules.

Vocabulary Check: Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best completes the sentence.

9. The prefix tri- means "three," and the prefix di- means "two." Therefore, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) has ___________ phosphate groups, and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) has __________________ phosphate groups.

10. The prefix chemo- means "chemical," and synthesis comes from a Greek word that means "to put together." Therefore, chemosynthesis means "to put together with chemicals." In chemosynthesis, ______________ energy is used to produce carbon-based ____________ that store energy.

REINFORCEMENT 4.1: Chemical Energy and ATP

KEY CONCEPT All cells need chemical energy. All cells need chemical energy for their functions. The energy that your cells need

comes indirectly from the food you eat. The chemical energy used by all cells is carried by a molecule called adenosine triphosphate, or ATP. ATP is a molecule that transfers energy from the breakdown of molecules in food to cell processes.

A molecule of ATP has three phosphate groups. The energy carried by ATP is released when the third phosphate group is removed from the molecule by a chemical reaction. When the phosphate group is removed and energy is released, ATP is converted into a molecule called adenosine diphosphate, or ADP. ADP is a lower-energy molecule that can be changed back into ATP by the addition of another phosphate group.

Different types of carbon-based molecules (carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins) can be broken down to produce ATP. The breakdown of the different molecules produces different amounts of ATP. Carbohydrates, especially the simple sugar glucose, are most commonly broken down to make ATP. The breakdown of a lipid produces many more ATP molecules than does the breakdown of a sugar. Proteins are the molecules least likely to be broken down, but they store about the same amount of energy as carbohydrates.

Many organisms must eat other organisms to get the carbon-based molecules they need to make ATP. Some organisms, such as plants, use a process called photosynthesis to make their own food molecules. Other organisms that survive without light can make their own food molecules through a process called chemosynthesis.
