Concept Map 2

The process of energy transfer in biological systems involves several key mechanisms and pathways. Photosynthesis in plants captures light energy to produce glucose, which cells then break down with oxygen during cellular respiration to release energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Energy Transfer

Organism Level
Hetero and Autotrophs (Individual)

Metabolic rate how much energy an organism uses, affecting energy needs.

Energy Flow in Populations: Individual energy needs impact group energy consumption.

Energy Loss Between Levels (Community): Only about 10% of energy is passed up each trophic level; the rest is lost as heat.

Photosynthesis
Cells break down glucose with oxygen to release energy, CO₂, and water.

ATP Production: Energy from respiration is stored in ATP molecules for cellular functions

Energy Loss as Heat: Not all energy is stored; some is lost as heat during metabolic processes.

Cell Respiration

Aerobic

Requires Oxygen

Glycolosis

1st Step:

Glucose to Glucose-6-Phosphate with the enzyme hexokinase.


3rd Step:

Fructose-6-Phosphate to fructose-1-6-phosphate with the enzyme phosphofructokinase.


Output:

2 Net ATP

2 Pyruvate

2 NADH



Pyruvate Oxidation

Pyruvate Oxidation requires oxygen.


Pyruvate makes:

1 Acetyl CoA

1 NADH

Citric Acid Cycle

Citric Acid Cycle (Krebs Cycle/TCA Cycle)


Step 1:

Acetyl CoA and Oxaloacetate go together and make Citrate.


Step 3:

Isocitrate becomes ketoglutarate


Output:

1 ATP

3 NADH

1 FADH2


Oxidative Phospohlation

This process is broken down into two parts, the Electron Transport Chain(ETC) and Chemiosmosis.

Chemiosmosis

Once many H+ exits into the intramitochondrial space through the ETC, ATP synthase allows H+ to go back into the matrix in through facilitated diffusion in attempt to even out on both sides. This takes ADP turning it into ATP.

Electron Transport Chain

This process includes:

Complex I

Complex II

Complex III

Complex IV

Complex Q

Cyc


NADH gives an electron to complex one turning it into NAD+. FADH2 gives electron to Complex 2, turning into FAD. They both give their electrons to Q, from Q to complex III, Complex III to Cyc, then to complex IV and given to oxygen where it makes water(H2O). Complexes I, III, and IV are proton pump which pump out H+ into the intramitochondrial space when the electrons are being passed around.

Anerobic

Doesn't Require Oxygen

Alcohol Fermentation

When there is no O2, pyruvate forms acetaldehyde and is reduced to ethanol where CO2 is released.

This reduced electrons from NADH allowing glycolysis to continue.

Lactic Fermentation

When oxygen is not present, pyruvate is reduced and forms lactate and recycled back into NAD+ allowing glycolysis to continue. In Lactic Acid fermentation CO2 is not formed.
