ENERGETIC
Q2
Ans:
Bioenergetics is the study of energy transformations in living organisms.
Source of Energy:
‘© Plants capture sunlight through photosynthesis, while animals and other organisms consume
food.
‘+ This energy is then converted into usable chemical energy, stored in molecules like ATP
(adenosine triphosphate).
Concept of Energy Transformatio
‘+ Oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions are fundamental to the metabolism of organisms.
‘+ In these reactions, electrons are transferred between molecules,
Oxidation:
‘+ Inoxidation, molecule loses electrons and in reduction, it gains electrons,
‘+ This electron flow is essential for generating energy in the form of ATP during processes like
cellular respiration and photosynthesis
Explain ATP as a molecule that is the chief energy currency of all cells. (KB)
Definition:
Cells use a special energy currency for their reactions, This currency is a nucleotide called
adenosine triphosphate (ATP),

anaerobic respiration and are called anaerobes.
3. Skeletal Museles during Exercise
‘+ When skeletal muscles of humans work hard (during exercise etc.) but oxygen supply is,
not sufficient to fulfil the demand,

Q.1 How does the structure of ATP enable it to store and release energy efficiently?
Ans: Arp
Introduction:
Cells use special energy currency for their reactions. This currency is a nucleotide called
adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
High Energy Bonds:
ATP is a high-energy molecule that serves as the primary energy currency of the cell. In the
molecule of ATP, the covalent bonds between two phosphates are high-energy bonds.
Release of Energy:
‘The breaking of one phosphate bond releases about 7.3 keal (7,300 calories) per mole of ATP.
‘When this happens, ATP becomes ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and one Pi is released.
ATP +10 -> ADP +P, + energy (7.3 kcal/mole)
In some cases, ADP is further broken down to AMP (adenosine monophosphate) and Pi
ADP + H,0 —> AMP + Pi+ energy (7.3 keal/mole)
storage of Energy:
‘ells get energy trom the oxidation of food. They store this energy by combining ADP with Pi to
form ATP.
ADP+ Pi-+ energy (7.3 keal/mole) > ATP+ H,0
Conclusion:
So, we can summarize that the P-P bonds of ATP are adapted and involved in the energy storing
and releasing ability.

ISHORT ANSWER QUESTION:
Q.19 Why is ATP sometimes described as the energy currency of cell?
Ans: ENERGY CURRENCY OF CEI
ATP is sometimes described as energy
Explanation:
Just like money is used to buy things, cells use ATP to do different activities and reactions. When
a cell needs energy, it changes ATP into ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate) by breaking a bond
between the second and third phosphate groups. This releases a considerable amount of energy
equal to 7.3 keal/mole.

low lactic acid fermentation works to provide energy in the muscle tissues?
LACTIC ACID FERMENTATION IN MUSCLE CELLS
Lactic Acid Productio
During exercise, anaerobic respiration causes laetie-acid to accumulate in muscle cells and
surrounding tissues. This aecurmulation can lead to muscle fatigue and discomfort.
Lactic Acid to Glucose:
To ease this condition, the lactic acid from muscle is transported to the liver through blood,
which converts it into glucose.
Glucose as Energy Sour
This glucose can then be releaséd back into the bloodstream to provide energy to muscles and
other tissues, effectively recyéling lactic acid into usable energy.

Q.8 How photosynthesis and aerobic respiration are interlinked with each other?
Ans: DARK REACTIONS
Photosynthesis and aerobie respiration are interlinked in the following ways
Energy Transfer:
Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen, which are then used in aerobic respiration to
produce ATP (by breaking glucose)
Carbon Cyele:
‘© Photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and converts it into glucose.
‘¢ Aerobie respiration then converts glucose back into carbon dioxide, releasing it back into the
‘atmosphere.
This eycle is essential for maintaining the balance of carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.
Oxygen Cycle:
‘+ Photosynthesis produces oxygen as a byproduct, which is then used in aerobie respiration
‘+ Aerobic respiration releases carbon dioxide and water as byproducts, which are then used in
photosynthesis.
This eycle is essential for maintaining the balance of oxygen levels in the atmosphere
