 Module ATP in Cellular Metabolism
1 and Photosynthesis

What I Need to Know

Scientists use the term bioenergetics to discuss the concept of energy flow through living
systems, such as cells. Cellular processes such as the building and breaking down of complex
molecules occur through stepwise chemical reactions. Some of these chemical reactions are
spontaneous in releasing energy; other require energy to proceed. Just as organisms must
continually consume food to replenish what has been used by the many energy – requiring chemical
reactions that constantly take place.

This lesson will equip you on how ATP is produced and consumed by the body. You will also
learn the importance of pigments present in the leaves in photosynthesis. After going through this
module, you are expected to:

1. explain coupled reaction process and describe the role of ATP in energy coupling
and transfer, and (STEM_BIO11/12-IIa-j-1)
2. explain the importance of chlorophyll and other pigments. (STEM_BIO11/12-IIa-j-3)

Energy from the catabolism of biomolecules such as fats and glucose is converted to a freely-
avail-able form of high energy compound: adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This chemical, deemed
the ‘’energy currency of the cell, ‘’ contains high-energy phosphate bonds. ATP donates energy via
hydrolysis of its high-energy phosphoanhydride bonds. ATP is continually synthesized by the body.
The process of all organisms - from bacteria to human – require energy. To get the energy, many
organisms access stored energy by obtaining from other organism; for animals, this is done through
ingestion. But where does the stored energy in food originate? All of this energy can be traced back
to photosynthesis.

Green plants have the ability to make their own food in a process called photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis uses pigment called chlorophyll. A pigment is a molecule that has particular color
and can absorb light at different wavelengths. There are many types of pigments in nature, but
chlorophyll is unique in its ability to enable plants to absorb the energy they need. Through
photosynthesis, the plant uses the stored energy to convert carbon dioxide (absorbed from the air)
and water into glucose, a type of sugar.

In summary, photosynthesis and cellular respiration are just opposites

Photosynthesis: Cellular Respiration:

sunlight
CO2 + water glucose + CO2 Glucose + CO2 water + oxygen + energy

What’s New

Now that you have recalled your topic in grade 9, perform the succeeding activities to
have some overview on our new lesson. Read first the paragraph before answering the
activity 3.

ATP is the principal molecule for storing and transferring energy in cells. It is often
called the energy currency of the cells. ATP is a nucleotide consisting of adenine based
attached to ribose sugar, which is attached to three phosphate groups. It is converted to
ADP when one phosphate group is removed by breaking the phosphoanhydride bonds
through hydrolysis. Likewise, AMP will be produced when one phosphate group is remove
from ADP. AMP can form to ADP or ATP by adding phosphate groups. Thus, the three
molecules are interconverted.

ACTIVITY 4. Paper Chromatography
Directions: To help you acquaint with different plant pigments, perform this activity on
chromatography. This activity will allow you to visually demonstrate that leaves contain
different colored pigments. Before performing the experiment, read the purpose of
chromatography.

Chromatography—is a separation technique used to identify various components of mixtures based

on the differences in their structure and/or composition. It involves a stationary phase (e.g., paper
or any thin layer of an absorbent surface) and a mobile phase (i.e., solvent containing the dissolved
substances). The solvent will move up the paper through capillary action carrying with it the
dissolved substances. These substances will be carried along at different rates because they are
not equally soluble in the solvent and they will be attracted in different degrees to the paper.
Objective: Perform chromatography to separate a mixture of pigments from plants
Materials:
• Chromatography paper or Filter paper (will be provided together with the module)
• Alcohol (solvent)
• tall glass jar
• fresh spinach (alugbati, kangkong) leaf
• Mayana leaf or other leaf that is red in color
• coin
• pencil
• ruler
• stick
Procedure:
1. Using a pencil, draw a base line that is 2cm from the bottom of the paper strip. Be careful in
handling the chromatography paper as oil from the human skin can alter the results. Lift the
paper only by its sides and be careful not to touch its front.
2. Place the spinach leaf over the paper. Pressing hard, roll the edge of the coin, and rub the leaf
onto the paper, following the path of the line. Repeat until the line turns very dark.
3. Repeat the same process for the mayana leaf using a second strip of chromatography paper.
4. Add enough alcohol to cover the bottom of the glass jar (no more than 1cm high).
5. Attach the top of the paper strips to a pencil or a coffee stir stick. This can be done by making a
loop with the top of the paper and fastening it with a paper clip or tape.
6. Lay the pencil or stick across the top of the beaker so that it suspends the paper above the liquid.
The bottom of the paper strip must be dipped in the solvent but the solvent should not surpass
the 2cm baseline that is the point of origin.
7. Lay the paper strip face up. Using the pencil, immediately mark the line where the solvent stopped
before it evaporates. This is called the solvent front.
8. Allow the strips to dry.
9. Before the pigments fade, mark the top of each color that you can identify.
10. Measure the distance (in mm) travelled by each pigment from the point of origin. And tabulate
your date below.
Tabulate your data below.
Leaf Name Color Observed Distance travelled

1. Alugbati/Kangkong
2. Mayana/

What Is It
A living cell cannot store significant amounts of free energy. Excess free energy would
result in an increase of heat in the cell, which would result in excessive thermal motion that could
damage and then destroy the cell. Rather, a cell must be able to handle an energy in a way that
enables the cell to store energy safely and release it for use only as needed. Living cells
accomplish this by using the compound adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is called the “energy
currency” of the cell, and, like currency, the versatile compound can be used to fill any energy
need of the cell. How? It functions similarly to a reachable battery.
As its name suggests, adenosine triphosphate is comprised of adenosine bound to three
phosphate group. At the heart of ATP is molecule of adenosine monophosphate (AMP), which
is composed of an adenine molecule bonded to a ribose molecule and to a single phosphate
group. Ribose is a five – carbon sugar found in RNA, and adenine diphosphate (ADP); the
addition of a third phosphate groups, in order of closest to the furthest from the ribose sugar,
are labeled alpha, beta, and gamma. The last two bonds on the phosphate groups contain
especially high energy and are therefore very useful for doing work within living cells. The bonds
that holds phosphate groups are easily broken by hydrolysis which results in the release of
energy. Together, these chemical groups constitute an energy powerhouse.

ADP – ATP Cycle

Whenever we talk about energy, we think about the molecule called ATP. It is a molecule
that drives our all cellular process inside our body. When ATP is used up, how does it gets recycled?
ATP cycle is a process where ATP is recycled. The following are mechanisms in the ATP cycle:
Cyclic biochemical process that yields ATP from ADP
 Phosphorylation of ADP (adding of phosphate molecule) and hydrolysis of ATP
molecule (breakdown of ATP molecule due to reactions of water and oxygen)
ATP cycle release energy stored in phosphoanhydride bond

Image taken from Senior High TG

Figure 2. The ATP – ADP Cycle

When ADP is converted to ATP, energy is needed and there is an addition of inorganic
phosphate (Pi). This energy is from cellular respiration. When ATP is broken down, usually by the
removal of its terminal phosphate group (hydrolysis), energy is released. Note that the energy
released is not from the phosphate group but it is from the phosphoanhydride bond. The potential
energy stored in the bond between phosphates is harnessed to do work. The energy released is
used to do work by the cell, usually by the released phosphate binding to another molecule,
activating it. Since ATP hydrolysis releases energy, ATP regeneration must require an input of free
energy. To carry out this life processes, ATP is continuously broken down into ADP, and like a
rechargeable battery, ADP is continuously regenerated into ATP by the reattachment of a third
phosphate group. Water, which was broken down into its hydrogen atom and hydroxyl group during
ATP hydrolysis, is regenerated when the third phosphate is added to the ADP molecule, reforming
ATP.
Like most chemical reactions, the hydrolysis of ATP to ADP is reversible. The reverse
reaction regenerates ATP from ADP + Pi.
ATP mediates most energy coupling in cells and it powers cellular work. There are three kinds
of work of a cell: chemical (synthesis of polymers from monomers; pushing of endergonic reactions),
transport work (pumping of substances across membranes), and mechanical work (beating of cilia,
contraction of muscles).
Obviously, energy must be infused into the system to regenerate ATP. What does this energy
come from? In nearly every living thing on earth, the energy comes from the metabolism of glucose.
In this example, the exergonic reaction of ATP hydrolysis is coupled with the endergonic reaction of
converting glucose for use in the metabolic pathway. In this way, ATP is a direct link between the
limited set of exergonic pathways that power living cells.
 Most of the time when an animal is exposed in a cold environment, the reaction of the body
is through shivering. In this reaction of the organism, shivering uses ATP during muscle contraction
to warm the body. Since it will also be a disadvantage for organisms to generate heat during ATP
hydrolysis, in order to maintain the living conditions inside the cell, the energy released during ATP
hydrolysis is used by proteins to perform work: chemical, transport and mechanical hydrolysis of
ATP leads to change in the shape of protein and in its ability to bind to another molecule.
Phosphorylation (ADP to ATP) and dephosphorylation (ATP to ADP) promote crucial protein shape
changes during important cellular process disadvantage

Image taken from Senior High TG

Figure 3. Energy released by breakdown reactions in the cell is used to

phosphorylate ADP, regenerating ATP. Chemical potential energy stored in ATP
drives most cellular work

ATP is a renewable it can be regenerated by the addition of phosphate to ADP

Catabolism (exergonic) provides the free energy to phosphorylate ADP. ATP formation is not
spontaneous, so there is a need to use free energy for the process to work. ATP cycle is the
shuttling of inorganic phosphate and energy. It couples the cell’s energy yielding processes
(exergonic) to energy consuming process (endergonic) ATP regeneration happens very fast.
Catabolism takes a phosphate on and while anabolism takes the phosphate off.
Organisms take in what are known as energy, to us that’s food for plants that’s light. They use
those energy sources to take ADP and phosphorylate it to make ATP. They then utilize the ATP
to do everything that’s involved in being alive. Therefore, you have this energy coupling between
taking in energy source and doing what it is organism does of those energy sources. The
coupled more or less is involves taking ADP converting it to ATP and back again.

Chlorophyll and Other Pigments

You have been taught in your junior years that plants are able to make their own food
in the process called photosynthesis. Plant cells have chloroplasts that contains chlorophyll – a
green pigment responsible for absorbing light.
 Chlorophyll absorbs blue and red light while it transmits and reflects green light. This
is why leaves appear green. There are several kinds of chlorophyll. Among these, chlorophyll a
appears green in color. It absorbs blue and red light and reflects green light. It is the most
abundant type of pigment in leaves and thus the most important type of pigment in chloroplast.
Chlorophyll b, is less abundant than chlorophyll a but has the ability to a wider wavelength of
light energy. Chlorophyll c is not found in plants but it is found in some microorganisms capable
of performing photosynthesis. Carotenoid pigments are found in many photosynthetic
organisms, as well as, in plants.
Pigments are substances that absorb visible light. Different pigments absorb light of
different wavelengths. Light, as it encounters an object, is either reflected, transmitted, or
absorbed. Visible light, with a wavelength of 380–750nm, is the segment in the entire range of
electromagnetic spectrum that is most important to life on earth. It is detected as various colors
by the human eye. The color that is not absorbed by pigments of objects is transmitted or
reflected and that is the color of the object that we see.

Image taken from Senior High TG

Figure 3. The Electromagnetic Spectrum

Pigments are the means by which plants capture sun’s energy to be used in photosynthesis.
However, since each pigment absorbs only a narrow range of wavelength, there is usually a need
to produce several kinds of pigments of different colors to capture more of sun’s energy.
The importance of pigment in photosynthesis is that it helps absorb the energy from light. The
free electrons at the molecular level in the chemical structure of these photosynthetic pigments
revolve at certain energy level. They cannot continue to stay in that level, as it is not the state of
stability of these electrons, so they must dissipate this energy and come back to their stable energy
level. During photosynthesis, these high-energy electrons transfer their energy to other molecules
to form sugar and other nutrients by using carbon dioxide and water.

 Additional Activities

ACTIVITY 9. Photosynthesis at the Grocery Store

Major grocery stores in the country are organized into departments, such as dairy,
meats, produce, bread, cereals, and so forth. Each aisle of the grocery store contains
numerous different products for customers to buy and consume.
Although there is a large variety, each item is linked to photosynthesis. For instances,
meat and dairy came from animals that were fed plant based foods. The rice, breads, cereals
and pastas come largely from starchy grains, which are the seeds of photosynthesis –
dependent plants. What about dessert and drinks? All of these products contains sugar - a
sucrose is a plant product, a disaccharide, a carbohydrate molecule, which is built directly
from photosynthesis.
Moreover, many items are less obviously derived from plants. For instance, paper
goods are generally plant products, and many plastics (abundant as products and packaging)
are derived from algae. Virtually, every spice and flavoring in the market were produced by a
plant as a leaf, root, bark, flower, fruit, or stem. Ultimately, photosynthesis connects to every
meal and every food a person consumes.
Knowing these things, write your reflection on the importance of plants or
photosynthesis in our daily living.
