as energy is captured and converted, the amount of energy available to do work

decreases

kinetic energy to potential energy

light energy from the sun→energy transformed into heat→ chemical energy stored in plants

potential energy to kinetic energy

chemical energy(glycogen) stored in muscles and liver→energy transformed into heat→kinetic energy of forced motion

where does photosynthesis take place in the plant cell

organelles called chloroplasts

stroma

production of sugars

thylakoids

conversion of light to chemical energy.where chlorophyl is located

describe the energy movement through chlorophyl

1)light energy causes chlorophyl to enter an excited state.2)the excited electron either transfers some energy to a nearby molecule(thus exciting that electron) OR the excited electron is transferred entirely to a nearby molecule

1)fixation 2)sugar creation 3)regeneration

fixation

the enzyme rubisco plucks carbon atoms one at a time, from CO2 molecules in the air, attaching them to an organic molecule

sugar creation

the organic molecule is modified into a small sugar called G3P, using energy from ATP and NADPH

regeneration

some molecules of G3P are used to regenerate the original organic molecule, using energy from ATP

stomata

carbon dioxide enters a plant through stomata, but water can be lost through the same openings

describe how plants that are adapted to dry conditions use stomates

they tend to keep stomata closed during the day , but open at the end of the day

cellular respiration

organisms release energy stored from the chemical bonds of food molecules they eat(or sugar they produce in photosynthesis) and use it as fuel

where is energy is stored in cellular respiration

what is the first step of glycolysis and what happens

preparatory phase-ATP must be spent to initiate glycolysis

donates electrons to pyruvate, producing fermentation products like lactic acid or alcohol
