Energy Transformation(Photosynthesis, Respiration and ATP) - Coggle Diagram
Energy Transformation(Photosynthesis, Respiration and ATP)
Autotrophs: synthesise fuel molecules for respiration using non-living materials in the environment.
Heterotrophs: obtain fuel molecules for respiration by consuming materials derived from other living things
Photosynthesis is a complex chemical process that converts light into chemical energy through the transformation of carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and sugars

Anaerobic Respiration

In alcohol fermentation energy is released when glucose is transformed into ethanol and carbon dioxide and this process occurs in yeast as well as some plants, protests and animals
In lactic acid fermentation, energy is released when glucose is transformed into lactic acid
Energy transformation
-
The energy released in metabolic reactions including respiration is used to synthesis adenosine triphosphate from ADP and pi.
The energy released in metabolic reactions is stored temporarily in ATP, which is highly water soluble and mobile molecule that moves throughout the cytoplasm and organelles of a cell. The energy stored in ATP is released when adenosine triphosphate is broken down into adenosine diphosphate and inorganic phosphate.
Hydrolysis
a chemical reaction in which a larger molecule such as ATP is broken down into smaller molecules such as ADP and Pi by reaction with water.
The chemical bonds between phosphate group are broken and energy is released when ATP reacts with water.
