Metabolism & ATP

Return to Table of Contents

Slide 6 / 142

Metabolism is the totality of an organism’s chemical reactions. Metabolism is a property of all life.

Metabolic Pathways Slide 7 / 142

A metabolic pathway begins with a specific molecule and ends with a product Each step is catalyzed by a specific enzyme Without enzymes, metabolic pathways would proceed very slowly.

Starting Molecule Product Reaction 1 Reaction 3 Reaction 2

Slide 8 / 142

There are two types of metabolic pathways: Catabolic pathways Anabolic pathways

Metabolic Pathways Slide 9 / 142

Catabolic pathways break down molecules from the environment. Living things use the energy derived from breaking the bonds in these molecules to build structures and drive cell processes.

Catabolic Pathways Slide 10 / 142

Reactants Energy Products Progress of the reaction Free energy Amount of free energy released (ΔG<0)

Exergonic Reaction

Catabolic pathways are exergonic reactions; the change in Gibbs free energy is negative. Thus, they release energy and occur spontaneously

Slide 11 / 142

Anabolic pathways synthesize complex organic molecules and power cell processes using the energy derived from catabolic pathways.

Anabolic Pathways

Examples: building bones building muscle building starch powering active transport Click here for a pneumonic device

Slide 12 / 142

Reactants Energy Products Progress of the reaction Amount of free energy required (ΔG > 0) Free energy

Endergonic Reaction

Anabolic pathways are endergonic reactions; the change in Gibbs free energy is positive. Thus, they require an input of energy and do not occur spontaneously

Slide 13 / 142

A process will occur spontaneously if the result is a reduction of the Gibbs Free Energy (G) of the system. G takes into account the resulting change in the energy of a system and the change in its entropy. If the effect of a reaction is to reduce G, the process will proceed spontaneously. If ∆G is negative, the reaction will occur spontaneously. If ∆G is zero or positive, it will not occur spontaneously.

Spontaneous Processes Slide 14 / 142 Free Energy and Metabolism

Biological systems often need an endergonic reaction to

• ccur, but on it's own, it won't proceed spontaneously.

To be able to occur, the endergonic reaction is coupled to a reaction that is exergonic, so that together, they are exergonic.

Slide 15 / 142

NH2 Glu Non-spontaneous reaction: ∆G is positive ∆G = +3.4 kcal/mol NH3 Glu Glutamic acid Ammonia + ATP + H2O ADP Spontaneous Reaction: ∆G is negative + Pi ∆G = -7.3 kcal/mol ∆G = –3.9 kcal/mol together, reactions are spontaneous

• ccurs only when an enzyme or other catalyst is present

B cannot occur outside of a living cell C releases free energy when proceeding in the forward direction D is common in anabolic pathways E leads to a decrease in the entropy of the universe

Slide 18 / 142

3 Which of the following correctly states the relationship between anabolic and catabolic pathways? A Degradation of organic molecules by anabolic pathways provides the energy to drive catabolic pathways. B Energy derived from catabolic pathways is used to drive the breakdown of organic molecules in anabolic pathways. C Anabolic pathways synthesize more complex organic molecules using the energy derived from catabolic pathways.

Slide 19 / 142

A cell does three main kinds of work: · Mechanical (motion) · Transport (crossing a barrier) · Chemical (changing a molecule) To do work, cells manage energy resources by energy coupling, using an exergonic reaction to drive an endergonic one

Cell Energy Slide 20 / 142 ATP

Cells can store the energy from catabolic pathways in a molecule called ATP (adenosine triphosphate). ATP can be broken down later to fuel anabolic reactions.

Slide 21 / 142

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) includes three phosphate groups (PO4-3). Each Phosphate group has an ionic charge of -3e. In this model of ATP, each PO

4-3

is circled in blue.

ATP Slide 22 / 142 ATP

The phosphate groups repel each

• ther, since they each have a

negative charge. Therefore it requires Work to add the second phosphate group; to go from AMP (monophosphate) to ADP (diphosphate). To add the third group, to go from ADP to ATP (triphosphate), requires even more work since it is repelled by both of the other phosphate groups.

Slide 23 / 142 ATP

This is like the work in compressing a spring. The energy from the work needed to bring each phosphate group to the molecule is stored in that phosphate bond. When the bond is broken to go from ATP to ADP, significant energy is released. Going from ADP to AMP releases less energy, since there is less total charge in ADP than ATP.

Slide 24 / 142

The bonds between the phosphate groups of ATP’s tail can be broken by hydrolysis. Energy is released from ATP when the terminal phosphate bond is broken. The released energy is equal to the work that was done to form the bond. That work overcame the electrostatic repulsion between the last phosphate group and the initial ADP molecule. The result is a chemical change to a state of lower free energy.

ATP Slide 25 / 142

In the living systems, the energy from the exergonic reaction

• f ATP hydrolysis can be used to drive an endergonic

reaction. Overall, the coupled reactions are exergonic.

ATP Slide 26 / 142 ATP Performs Work

ATP drives endergonic reactions by phosphorylation, transferring a phosphate group to some other molecule, such as a reactant. The recipient molecule is now "phosphorylated". The three types of cellular work are powered by the hydrolysis of ATP.

Cellular Respiration

Return to Table of Contents

Slide 34 / 142 Equilibrium and Metabolism

Reactions in a closed system eventually reach equilibrium and then stop. Life is not in equilibrium Life is an open system , experiencing a constant flow of materials and energy. Life cannot survive without connection to the environment.

Slide 35 / 142 The Production of ATP Catabolic Pathways

Cellular respiration is a catabolic pathway that consumes

• rganic molecules and yields ATP.

Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins can all fuel cellular respiration. We'll look first at the simplest case, the breakdown of the sugar

• glucose.

But before doing that we have to learn about two molecules that are essential to respiration.

Slide 36 / 142

NAD+ + 2H+ + 2e- + Energy NADH + H+

NAD+ and FAD

The molecules NAD+ and FAD are used to store, and later release, energy during respiration; they are key to respiration. Each molecule has two forms, each form stores a different amount of energy. So moving between those two forms either stores chemical potential energy or releases it. Here are the reactions: FAD + 2H+ + 2e- + Energy FADH2 The double arrows indicate that each reaction is reversible, they can proceed in either direction. When the reaction goes to the right, energy is stored. When it goes to the left, energy is released

Slide 37 / 142 NAD+ and FAD

The amount of energy that is useable when the reaction goes to the left, depends on the availability of electron acceptors. Without a molecule, such as O2, to accept the excess electrons the energy stored in NADH and FADH

2 cannot be used to make ATP.

NAD+ + 2H+ + 2e- + Energy NADH + H+ FAD + 2H+ + 2e- + Energy FADH2

Slide 38 / 142 Electron Acceptors

Oxygen is the best electron acceptor because it generates the greatest free energy change (#G) and produces the most energy. In the absence of oxygen, other molecules, such as nitrate, sulfate, and carbon dioxide can be used as electron acceptors. If O2 is present, · 1 NADH stores enough energy to create about 3 ATPs · 1 FADH

2 stores enough energy to make about 2 ATPs

Slide 39 / 142

7 NADH is converted to NAD+. During this process, A energy is released B energy is stored C no energy is stored or released

Slide 40 / 142

8 FADH2 is converted to FAD. During this process, A energy is stored B energy is released C no energy is stored or released

Slide 41 / 142 Reduction and Oxidation

When we go from left to right we are adding electrons to a

• molecule. That is called reducing the molecule, or the process of

reduction. Going from right to left, we are taking electrons from a molecule. That is called oxidizing the molecule, or the process of oxidation. NAD+ + 2H+ + 2e- + Energy NADH + H+ FAD + 2H+ + 2e- + Energy FADH2

Slide 42 / 142

The reason for the term oxidation is that this is the effect that

• xygen usually has: it takes electrons from a molecule, oxidizing

the molecule The rusting of iron is an example of oxidation: oxygen is taking electrons from the metal, oxidizing it.

Oxidation

4 Fe + 3 O2 → 2 Fe

2 O3

Slide 43 / 142 Reduction and Oxidation

LEO says GER Losing Electrons is Oxidation Gaining Electrons is Reduction Since it doesn't seem right that adding electrons is called "reduction"; here's a way to remember these two terms.

Slide 44 / 142

9 Which of the following cannot act as an electron acceptor?

A sulfate B oxygen C ammonia D nitrate

Slide 45 / 142

10 The loss of an electron is __________ and the gain of an

electron is ____________. A oxidation, reduction B reduction, oxidation C catalysis, phosphorylation D phosphoroylation, catalysis

Slide 46 / 142

11 NADH is the reduced form of NAD+.

True False

Slide 47 / 142 Types of Cellular Respiration

Cells follow different paths of cellular respiration depending on the presence or absence of oxygen. Cells can be classified into 3 categories based on their response to oxygen. · Obligate Anaerobes - which cannot survive in the presence of

• xygen

· Obligate Aerobes - which require oxygen · Facultative Anaerobes - which can survive in the presence or absence of oxygen.

Slide 48 / 142

The Stages of Respiration

Cellular respiration consists of four stages: · Glycolysis · Pyruvate Decarboxylation · The Citric Acid Cycle (Krebs Cycle) · Oxidative Phosphorylation

Slide 49 / 142

The net result is: a net of 2 ATPs are formed along with 2 NADHs and the 2 pryuvates. Glycolysis means the splitting of glucose Some ATP is needed to start the process (Ea)

Gycolysis 2 ATP 4 ATP 2 NADH 2 C3H4O3 (Pyruvate) 2 NAD+

Glycolysis

Glycolysis is the first stage of cellular respiration. It involves the breakdown of glucose, a 6 carbon sugar, into 2 molecules of pyruvate, a 3 carbon sugar. Glycolysis means the splitting of glucose The net result is: a net of 2 ATPs are formed along with 2 NADHs and the 2 pryuvates. Some ATP is needed to start the process (Ea)

Slide 50 / 142

12 Until 2.5 billon years ago there was no oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere. Which of the following was also not present? A facultative anaerobes B obligate anaerobes C obligate aerobes D bacteria

Slide 51 / 142

13 How much activation energy is required to start glycolysis? A 0 ATP B 1 ATP C 2 ATP D 4 ATP

Slide 52 / 142

14 The net products of glycolysis are: A 2 pyruvate B 2 NADH and 2 pyruvate C 2 ATP, 2 NADH, and 2 pyruvate D 4 ATP, 2 NADH, and 2 pyruvate

Slide 53 / 142 Pyruvate Decarboxylation (PD)

The Citric Acid Cycle can only process 2-carbon molecules, and pyruvate is a 3-carbon molecule: C3H4O3

PDC 2 NADH 2 NAD+ 2 C3H4O3 (Pyruvate) 2 CO2 2 Acetyl Co-A

PD is an enzyme catalyzed reaction that takes the 2 pyruvate molecules and converts them to 2 Acetyl Co- A molecules: these are 2-carbon molecules. Energy is stored during PD by the converting 2 NAD+ to 2 NADH and the extra pyruvate carbons are expelled as CO2.

Slide 54 / 142

The Citric Acid Cycle

This shows one cycle, which is due to one Acetyl Co-A molecule. To account for one glucose molecule, two cycles are needed. Let's tally up the

Slide 56 / 142

The citric acid cycle is sometimes called the Krebs cycle. The cycle breaks down one Acetyl-CoA for each turn, generating 1 ATP, 3 NADH, 2 CO2 and 1 FADH2 per Acetyl-CoA. Since 2 Acetyl-CoA molecules were created from each glucose, the Citric Acid Cycle creates 2 ATP; 6 NADH; 4CO

2, and 2 FADH2 for

each glucose molecule.

Slide 58 / 142

16 During pyruvate decarboxylation, 3-carbon pyruvate is converted to 2-carbon Acetyl-CoA. What happens to the excess carbons atoms in this process? A They are expelled in molecules of CH4 B They are expelled in molecules of CO2 C They are covalently bonded to NADH D They are recycled to reform glucose

Slide 59 / 142

17 In total, the first 3 stages of cellular respiration produce how many molecules of carbon dioxide? A 1 B 2 C 3 D 6

Slide 60 / 142

So far we've done a lot of work to just get a net gain of 4 ATPs. But we have stored a lot of potential energy in the form of NADH and FADH2. The big energy payoff is in oxidative phosphorylation, where we convert the energy stored in those molecules to ATP.

Oxidative Phosphorylation (OP) Slide 61 / 142

Stage NADH FADH2 ATP Glycolysis 2 2 PD 2 CAC 6 2 2 Total 10 2 4

Oxidative Phosphorylation (OP)

We're now going to convert all the NADH and FADH2 into ATP, so the energy can be stored throughout the cell. Here's what we start this cycle with. When O2 is present, we get about 3 ATPs per NADH and 2 ATPs per FADH2. So how many ATPs would we have at the end of this next stage?

Slide 62 / 142

Oxidative phosphorylation is powered by the electron transport chain. One way to think of the ETC is as a proton pump . The ETC transports electrons, through chemical reactions, out and then back through a plasma membrane. The net effect is to pump protons from the inside to the outside of a plasma membrane, creating a proton gradient which is used to power

• xidative phosphorylation.

Electron Transport Chain (ETC) Slide 63 / 142

Electron Transport Chain (ETC)

The electron path is shown in black. The proton path in red.

The ETC generates no ATP, but enables Oxidative Phosphorylation, which accounts for most of the ATP produced.

Slide 64 / 142 Anaerobic ETC

For the first 2 billion years of life on Earth, anaerobic (no O

2)

respiration was the only means of obtaining energy from food. These organisms used the electron acceptors, NO

3-, SO42-, or

CO2 to pull the electrons through the ETC. These molecules would accept the electrons at the end of the chain forming N

2,

H2S, and CH

4 respectively.

Slide 65 / 142 Aerobic ETC

Click here for a video of the ETC

But then, the Oxygen Revolution occurred about 2.5 BYA, flooding the planet with oxygen. In aerobic respiration, the final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain is O2; forming water (H2O). Oxygen strongly attracts electrons in order to fill its outer shell. This stronger pull makes much more energy available to life, enabling the more complex food chains we see today.

Slide 66 / 142

18 Which of the following is created during the electron transport chain in human cells? I ATP II NADH III proton gradient IV H2O

A I, II, III, IV B I, II only C III only D III, IV only

Slide 67 / 142

19 Obligate aerobes use which of the following as their final electron acceptor? A CO2 B NO3- C O2 D SO42-

Slide 68 / 142 Oxidative Phosphorylation (OP)

The ETC creates a positive electrostatic potential outside the plasma membrane and a negative potential inside. The excess protons outside, are strongly attracted to the inside, but are blocked by the membrane. One path is open to the protons, but they must do work to use it. ATP Synthase is essentially a motor, constructed of proteins. The protons must travel through that motor in order to return to the cell, creating an electric current that powers the motor. As the motor turns, it adds a phosphate group to ADP, creating

• ATP. Electrical energy is transformed to chemical energy.

Oxidative Phosphorylation The Hydroelectric Analogy

The Hoover Dam is a massive structure that holds back the potential energy of 9 trillion gallons of water

Slide 70 / 142

Like oxidative phosphorylation, it creates a gradient then exploits the stored energy by allowing water to pass through a small pipeline, transforming it to kinetic energy.

Oxidative Phosphorylation The Hydroelectric Analogy Slide 71 / 142

Massive turbines are spun, causing the kinetic energy to be turned into mechanical energy which is utilized to make electrical energy.

Oxidative Phosphorylation The Hydroelectric Analogy Slide 72 / 142

We calculated earlier that we would expect to get 38 ATP molecules by the time we'd converted all the NADH and FADH

2 to ATP.

The actual yield is between 36 - 38 ATP molecules per glucose molecule. The reason for the small variance is that in some cases energy is needed to transport the NADH molecules to the site of the ETC.

Slide 76 / 142 The Versatility of Catabolism

Catabolic pathways funnel electrons from many kinds of

• rganic molecules into cellular respiration.

· Glycolysis accepts a wide range of carbohydrates · Proteins must be digested to amino acids; amino groups can feed glycolysis or the citric acid cycle · Fats are digested to glycerol which is used in glycolysis. An

• xidized gram of fat produces more than twice as much ATP as

an oxidized gram of carbohydrate

Fermentation

Return to Table of Contents

Slide 79 / 142

When no electron acceptors are available, obligate anaerobes and facultative anaerobes can still break down glucose to release energy through a process called fermentation.

Fermentation

Fermentation begins just as cellular respiration does, with glycolysis.

Slide 80 / 142 Fermentation

Glycolysis results in 2 pyruvate molecules and 2 NADH

2

• molecules. Without an electron

acceptor, the energy stored in these molecules can't be used. The net energy gain is just 2 ATPs. (Remember 2 were invested and 4 were produced, netting 2) C6H12O6 (Glucose)

Fermentation breaks down the products of glycolysis so that glycolysis can be repeated with another glucose molecule. The pyruvates and NADHs are fermented into 2 NAD+ and either Lactic Acid or CO2 & Ethanol.

Slide 84 / 142

Fermentation

The result of the combined steps of glycolysis and fermentation is: · The input is 1 Glucose + 2 ATP molecules · The output is 4 ATP molecules (for a net gain of 2 ATP's) In addition, · Lactic Acid fermentation results in lactic acid · Ethanol fermentation results in ethanol and CO2

Slide 85 / 142

The big difference is that for each glucose molecule: aerobic cellular respiration yields 36 to 38 ATPs fermentation yields only 2 ATPs

Cellular Respiration vs. Fermentation Slide 86 / 142

· Some anaerobic bacteria rely soley on fermentation, such as lactobacillus, which is used to make cheese and yogurt. · The alcohol in wine, beer, etc. results from yeast (a facultative anaerobe) undergoing ethanol fermentation. · Bread rises due to the release of CO2 bubbles by fermenting yeast. · Your muscles burn after a strenuous workout because they can't get enough O2, so they perform lactic acid fermentation. Lactic acid results in soreness.

Examples of Fermentation Slide 87 / 142

Aerobic respiration uses oxygen (O2) and glucose (C6H12 O6) to create carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O)...and release energy. Photosynthesis is the exact opposite, it takes carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) plus energy to make glucose (C6H12 O6) and oxygen (O2)

What is the source of glucose? Where did the oxygen that flooded Earth 2.5 BYA come from?

Our Original Questions Slide 101 / 142

The products of photosynthesis are: ·

• xygen (O2)

· glucose (C 6H12O6) Photosynthesis produces the glucose that feeds respiration, and eventually, all of us. Photosynthesis also produces the oxygen that filled the atmosphere and made complex life, as we know it possible.

Photosynthesis Slide 102 / 142

Photosynthesis and the addition of oxygen to Earth's atmosphere, began about 2.5 BYA, and was having a major impact by 2.0 BYA. This is called the Oxygen Catastrophe because it spelled the extinction of a vast number of obligate anaerobes. Some survive today, but only in locations where they are not exposed to the atmosphere.

The Oxygen Catastrophe Slide 103 / 142

This simple equation sums up the result of photosynthesis: its reactants and products. However, the processes that make photosynthesis possible are not very simple. Just like the four stages of respiration result in a simple equation, the process itself is complicated. Similarly, the process of photosynthesis is complicated. And in some ways similar to the steps of respiration, but backwards.

During respiration the molecules NAD+and FAD are used to store energy. Photosynthesis uses the molecule NADP+, which is a lot like NAD+, to store energy, and convert it between its two stages. The reduced form of NADP+ is NADPH.

NADPH Slide 106 / 142

Photosynthesis also depends on chlorophyll, a molecule that absorbs red and violet-blue light and uses it to energize electrons to a higher energy level.

Slide 110 / 142

There are two types of photosynthesis: Cyclic Energy Transport Non-Cyclic Energy Transport

Two Types of Photosynthesis Slide 111 / 142

Cyclic Energy Transport was probably the first type of photosynthesis to originate. It does not create glucose, it just converts solar energy to ATP.

Cyclic Energy Transport

Cyclic Energy Transport uses Photosystem I, a protein complex embedded in the thylakoid membrane to convert light energy to ATP.

Slide 113 / 142

33 Noncyclic energy transport arose before cyclic energy transport. True False

Slide 114 / 142

34 Which of the following statements about cyclic energy transport is true? A Cyclic energy transport requires water. B Glucose is produced by cyclic energy transport. C Cyclic energy transport reduces NADP+ D Light energy is converted to chemical energy during cyclic energy transport.

Slide 115 / 142

There are two major stages to Noncyclic Energy Transport: Light Dependent Reactions Light Independent Reactions (Calvin Cycle)

Noncyclic Energy Transport Slide 116 / 142

Light Dependent Reactions occur in membrane bound structures called thylakoids. It's necessary to have a membrane surface separating the inside from the outside on an enclosed volume, thylakoids provide that. The inside is called the lumen; the outside is called the stroma.

Light Dependent Reactions Slide 117 / 142

Light Dependent Reactions

2 H2O + 2 NADP+ + 3 ADP + 3 Pi O2 + 2NADPH + 3 ATP The Light Dependent Reactions use light energy and water to form ATP, NADPH, and oxygen gas. This process requires 2 photosystems, Photosystem II and Photosystem I. They occur in this order (they were named in the

• rder in which they were discovered).

Slide 118 / 142 Thylakoid

This shows the membrane, separating the stroma from the lumen, the two photosystems and the enzymes, ATP Synthase and NADP Reductase. The light reactions will use Photosystem II and Photosystem I to create an excess of protons in the stroma, and a deficit in the lumen. The only way protons can get back to the lumen, is through ATP Synthase, to produce ATP.

Slide 119 / 142 Photosystem II

First, Photosystem II absorbs light and energizes electrons, splitting a water molecule in the process. Those are used to pump protons across the membrane, creating an electrical potential difference which is used to create ATP.

to reduce NADP+ to NADPH (adding electrons to NADP+, instead of returning them to chlorophyll as in cyclic energy transport).

Slide 121 / 142

35 The inside of the thylakoid is called the ______ and the

• utside is called the ______.

A lumen, stroma B stroma, lumen

Slide 122 / 142

36 Light dependent reaction produce ____ ATP and ____ NADPH for each O2 produced. A 1, 1 B 2, 3 C 3, 2 D 2, 4

Slide 123 / 142

37 Water is split, releasing O2, in which protein complex? A photosystem I B photosystem II C ATP synthase D NADP reductase

Slide 124 / 142 Light Independent Reactions

The ATP and NADPH created during the light dependent reactions proceed to the Light Independent Reaction. The light independent reactions are also know as the Calvin Cycle or Dark Reactions. These reactions can occur in light or dark, thus dark reactions is not an accurate name. The Calvin Cycle uses the ATP and NADPH to convert CO2 into Glucose (C6H12 O6) in a multi step process.

Slide 125 / 142 Light Independent Reactions

In 3 turns of the cycle we use 9 ATP and 6 NADPH and 3 CO2 to make a 3-carbon sugar

Slide 126 / 142

Light Independent Reactions

To make one 6-carbon glucose molecule: 18 ATP and 12 NADPH and 6 CO

2 are required.

Slide 127 / 142 The Carbon Cycle

The Calvin Cycle is also called Carbon Fixing. This means that carbon, a gas in the atmosphere, in the form of CO2, is turned into a solid as a glucose. When glucose is used in respiration, that carbon is then released back into the atmosphere. This process of fixing and releasing carbon is called the Carbon Cycle. Carbon is not being created or destroyed, but cycles through the environment.

Slide 128 / 142

The Light Reactions produce equal amounts of ATP and NADPH, but the Calvin Cycle use more ATP (18) than NADPH (12) to make a glucose molecule. To have enough ATP, photosynthetic organisms use Cyclic Energy Transport to create the needed ATP.

Slide 131 / 142

40 Which of the following statements about photosynthesis is true? A The light dependent reactions can only occur in the light, the light independent reactions can only occur in the dark. B Cyclic energy transport is more efficient at producing glucose than noncyclic energy transport. C The light dependent reactions produce ATP which is used to power the Calvin cycle. D Cyclic energy transport occurs only in bacteria.

Slide 132 / 142

41 The Calvin cycle is an anabolic pathway. True False

Slide 133 / 142 Global Climate Change

The carbon cycle plays a key role in Global Climate Change. Photosynthesis releases oxygen into the air, but also takes CO2 out of the air. CO2 is a greenhouse gas, it absorbs infrared light that would

• therwise carry heat away from Earth, into space; cooling

Earth.

Slide 134 / 142 Global Climate Change

If it were not for CO2, and other greenhouse gases, Earth would be far colder, perhaps too cold to support life as we know it. Greenhouse gases are essential for life. However, the amount of greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere is critical to maintaining a constant average temperature for the planet.

Slide 135 / 142

Global Climate Change

A great deal of carbon was trapped under the surface of Earth by life forms that died over many millions of years; effectively taking that carbon out of the carbon cycle. That reduced the CO2 in the atmosphere, reducing the temperature of Earth by allowing more heat to leave, leading to

• ur current temperature.

Slide 136 / 142 Global Climate Change

The hydrocarbons we use for energy (oil and natural gas) were formed from the breakdown of that long-dead plant and animal life. As we burn those fuels, we are releasing CO2 back into the atmosphere, increasing the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Slide 137 / 142 Global Climate Change

As a result, more heat is being trapped in our atmosphere; the balance of energy brought to Earth by solar energy, and released from Earth in infrared radiation is being changed. This is causing Earth's average temperature to rise. The effect of this temperature rise is not that the temperature goes up in all places or in all years necessarily. But it is projected that there will be massive changes in climate in the future, with accompanying changes in sea level, crops, plant and animal life, etc.
