A mixture of oxygen and gasoline, when ignited by y= a spark, produces a small, controlled explosion in ~ CAN YOU EXPLAIN IT? the engine's cylinder that Drea Both cars and your body need fuel. Most cars use gasoline as a fuel, which often includes ethanol in addition to gasoline. For a car or a human body to use fuel, the energy in the chemical bonds of the fuel must be released. A combustion reaction ina car's engine releases this energy. Your body uses a similar reaction in which it releases the energy contained in the chemical bonds of the food you eat. Gather Evidence As you explore the lesson, gather evidence that bonds are broken and new bonds are formed in the process of cellular respiration. FIGURE 1: The ignition of a mixture of ethanol and oxygen in the air produces a combustion reaction, which releases energy in the forms of heat and light. ) Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Predict How is the process of fuel combustion in a car engine similar to the way the cells in your body release energy stored in fuel?

In the process of photosynthesis, plants transform light energy from the sun into chemical energy in the form of glucose. When an organism eats a plant, any energy the plant has not used can be used by the consumer. Ancient plants and animals that died decomposed and were buried under soil, rock, and sometimes sea water. These organisms decomposed into organic materials that contain unused stored energy. Over millions of years, heat and pressure transformed these remains into the fossil fuels we use today. Chemical bonds must be broken for the stored energy to be released. In cars, a combustion reaction provides the energy needed to break these bonds and release energy. In cells, a similar process called cellular respiration releases chemical energy from sugars and other carbon-based molecules to make ATP when oxygen is present.

Cite evidence from the graph shown in Figure 3 to support your explanation. Lesson 2 Cellular Respiration 129 Seen _ Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis ® EL em e-Le) Almost all energy for living things comes from photosynthesis, either directly or indirectly. Producers absorb light energy from the sun and transform it using photosynthesis to a usable form of energy, or food. This energy is then passed from producers to consumers. Although only producers carry out photosynthesis, both producers and consumers carry out cellular respiration. Photosynthesis stores energy from sunlight as chemical energy. In contrast, cellular respiration releases stored energy as ATP and heat. Investigating Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Design an experiment to determine which organisms (pond snails or Elodea) produce carbon dioxide and which use carbon dioxide.

Bonds in food molecules and oxygen molecules are broken and new molecules are formed that transfer energy in forms that the organism can use. Cellular respiration transfers chemical energy stored in the bonds of glucose and other molecules to ATP.

Before it can take place, however, glucose must be broken down into compounds the mitochondria can use. This process occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. Glycolysis, shown in Figure 9, is an anaerobic process that uses a series of enzyme-catalyzed reactions to break glucose into two three-carbon molecules, called pyruvate. Mitochondria use the pyruvate molecules to fuel cellular respiration.

The function of the Krebs cycle is to complete the breakdown of glucose started in glycolysis and fuel the production of ATP. This is done by transferring high-energy electrons to the electron transport chain.

High-energy electrons are transferred to NAD", forming a molecule of NADH. The NADH moves to the second stage of cellular respiration, the electron transport chain. Coenzyme A is added A molecule called coenzyme A bonds to the 2-carbon molecule, forming an intermediate molecule. Citric acid is formed The 2-carbon part of the intermediate molecule is added toa 4-carbon molecule to form the 6-carbon molecule called citric acid. Citric acid is broken down The citric acid molecule is broken down by an enzyme, and a 5-carbon molecule is formed. A molecule of NADH is made, which moves out of the Krebs cycle. A molecule of carbon dioxide is given off as a waste product. Five-carbon molecule is broken down The 5-carbon molecule is broken down by an enzyme. A 4-carbon molecule, a molecule of NADH, and one ATP are formed. Carbon dioxide is given off as a waste product. Four-carbon molecule is rearranged Enzymes rearrange the 4-carbon molecule, releasing high-energy electrons. Molecules of NADH and FADH,, another electron carrier, are made. They leave the Krebs cycle, and the 4-carbon molecule remains. Explain During the hands-on lab, which product of the Krebs cycle caused the bromothymol blue solution to change color?

Like gasoline, ethanol contains energy in its chemical bonds that can be released by the process of combustion. Combustion and cellular respiration are both exothermic reactions that result in the release of energy. The energy is released when chemical bonds that store energy are broken. Combustion is a fast process that results in the production of energy in the forms of heat and light.
