chap te r 2 -8 : Energy Flow in L i v i n g Things The total amount of energy that exists in the universe remains,
constant, but energy can change from one form to another. For example, the chemical energy in gasoline can be released and transformed into heat energy and the energy of motion.
This type of transformation of energy occurs in many of the processes that fake place in living things. In this plate, we will examine the flow of energy through living things and identify the molecule that serves as the main energy source in all life processes.
' sThis plate shows how energy exists in different forms at different times in living things. As you encounter the terms, color the appropriate structures in the dia-
( All of the energy on the Earth comes from the sun (A); the sun's energy (A,) is what drives chemical reactions and the processes of life. This solar energy is trapped in a photosynthesizing organelle of the plant called the chloroplast (B); we discuss this organelle in detail later in the book.
A number of chemical reactions take place in the chloroplast to transform solar energy into chemical energy. Carbon dioxide (C) and water (D) are necessary for the process of photosynthe-sis (E), and the products of photosynthesis include carbohydrates (F), which are represented by a candy bar, and molecular oxy-gen (G). The bonds of the carbohydrates now contain some of the sun's energy; photosynthesis has transformed fhe sun's energy into the chemical energy of the carbohydrate. Oxygen is given off as a waste product of photosynthesis, and it is expelled from the plant cell into the atmosphere.
Having explained how the sun's energy is converted to the chemical energy found in carbohydrates, we \vill jVow, discuss another, transformation of energy Continue your readjhg belofy and focus on the right side of the diagram as we continue to study energy flow in living things
Plants, humans, and many other living things use carbohy-drates as their essential source of energy. Carbohydrates are transported to an organelle called the mitochondrion (H), where they are combined with oxygen molecules in the process of res-piration (I), illustrated by the arrow. During chemical reactions in the mitochondrion,_the energy from carbohydrates is released and used to form the energy-rich molecule adenosine triphos-phate (J). (Adenosine triphosphate is commonly abbreviated as ATP.) Carbon dioxide and water are byproducts of respiration; notice that they are both essential for photosynthesis. To summa-rize, the energy of the sun is first transformed into the energy of carbohydrates and then into the energy in the ATP molecule.
We will conclude with a brief examination of the ATP molecule Recall that the energy ,of the ATP molecule comes from the sun. As you read, color the appro¬
, priate structures in the diagram.
The adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecule (J) is shown at the bottom of the plate. You should use a light shade to color the inte-rior of the box, and darker colors should be used for the components of ATP. These components include an adenine mole-cule (J,) and a ribose molecule (J2). Adenine is one of the four nitrogenous bases found in DNA and RNA, and ribose is a five-carbon carbohydrate. Attached to the ribose molecule are three phosphate groups (J3).
Living things use energy in the form of ATP, breaking it down into adenosine diphosphate (K) and an inorganic phosphate group. Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) contains adenine (J,) and a ribose molecule (J2), but only two phosphate groups (J3). During this breakdown, seven kilocalories of energy are given off for use by the cell.
In the following plates, we will study the processes by which ATP is created, such as glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, electron trans-port, and chemiosmosis.

General Lab Procedure:
1. Work as a lab group of 3-4 members. Each lab group will complete Part A and Part B of the
lab. Your teacher will assign on an additional activity to each group form Parts C, D, E & F.
2. At your lab bench you will find a square bottle with a medicine dropper top. This is called the
reaction chamber. You will also find a 100mL graduated cylinder, ring stand and clamp,and a plastic pan which will be used as a water bath. All of this equipment needs to be
assembled into our experimental apparatus, as described and illustrated below.
3. Fill the pan 3/4 full of tap water. Allow the water to come to room temperature.
4. Submerge the 100mL graduated cylinder to fill it with water. Turn the graduated cylinder
upside down, keeping the open end under water, so as to keep it filled with water. Suspend
it upside down in the clamp on the ring stand. Adjust the height of the clamp on the ringstand so the open end of the graduated cylinder is about 3cm above the bottom of the pan.
See diagram below.
5. Place a thermometer in the pan and record the temperature
of the water, during Part A of the lab. ____________________°C
6. When all sections of the lab are complete, share the data with the class from your group’s
section. Each person must plot the data for all parts of the lab on his/her own graph paper.

b) Identify two sources of error that alone or separately could explain why that trial turned out so differently. There should be one complete paragraph per error. Use the following guidelines: (3 pt)
" “Contamination” is not a good error; neither is dust or being more careful. Your errors should reveal your understanding of the process and the apparatus.
" You must identify problems with the procedure – things that you tried to control, but couldn’t or things you didn’t think to control, but should have.
" When you identify your two errors, you must connect each error directly back to your outlier. Don’t just say “it would have affected the data.” You must explain why it increased or decreased the oxygen production in that one trial (and only that one trial).
c) Why did we do 3 trials for every treatment? (1 pt)
15!%ATP— The Free Energy Carrier 1
ATP—The Free Energy CarrierHow does the ATP molecule capture, store, and release energy?
Why?A sporting goods store might accept a $100 bill for the purchase of a bicycle, but the corner store will not take a $100 bill when you buy a package of gum. That is why people often carry smaller denominations in their wallet—it makes everyday transactions easier. The same concept is true for the energy transactions in cells. Cells need energy (their “currency”) to take care of everyday functions, and they need it in many denominations. As humans we eat food for energy, but food molecules provide too much energy for our cells to use all at once. For quick cellular transactions, your cells store energy in the small molecule of ATP. This is analogous to a $1 bill for your cells’ daily activities.

3. Model 2 illustrates a chemical reaction. Write the reaction as an equation, using the name or abbreviation of each of the two reactants and each of the three products.
4. Consider the structural formulas of ATP, ADP, and phosphate in Model 2 carefully. What happens to the atoms from the water molecule during the hydrolysis of ATP?
5. The word hydrolysis has two roots, hydro and lysis. Describe how this term relates to the chemi-cal reaction illustrated in Model 2.
6. Refer to Model 2.

7. Consider Model 2.
a. Is the process endothermic or exothermic?
b. Recall that all bonds require energy to break, but energy is released when bonds are formed. With this in mind, explain why it is incorrect to say that the phosphoester bond in ATP releases a large amount of energy when ATP turns into ADP.
Read This!The conversion of ATP to ADP is not only exothermic, but there is also an increase in entropy of the system. Therefore, the hydrolysis of ATP is exergonic, and provides free energy for many processes needed to sustain life.
8. The reaction in Model 2 is reversible.
a. Write a reaction for the process that is the reverse of Model 1.
b. This reaction is called phosphorylation. Explain why this name is appropriate for the reac-tion above.
c. Would you expect this reaction to be endergonic or exergonic? Explain your reasoning.

Extension Questions13. Describe or draw a diagram of adenosine monophosphate (AMP).
14. If ADP were to be hydrolyzed in a similar manner to ATP, would you expect the reaction to be endergonic or exergonic? Explain your answer.
Read This!It is estimated that more than 2 × 1026 molecules of ATP are hydrolyzed in the human body daily. If each molecule was used only once you would need approximately 160 kg (350 lbs) of ATP daily. The repeated use of ATP molecules through the ATP cycle saves the body a huge amount of resources and energy.
ATP is synthesized in two ways:
Substrate-level phosphorylation—Energy released during a reaction, such as the breakdown of sugar molecules, is used directly to synthesize ATP. A small amount of energy is generated through this process.
Electron transfer (oxidative phosphorylation)—Energy from the movement of electrons from one molecule to another, via electron carriers, is used to synthesize ATP. Most cellular ATP is synthesized by electron transfer in the mitochondria.
15. Dinitrophenol (DNP) is an “uncoupler,” which means it interferes with the flow of electrons during electron transfer. Fifty years ago, DNP was given as a drug to help patients lose weight.
a. Why would taking DNP make someone lose weight?
b. Why would taking DNP be dangerous?
