Plant Processes and Reproduction 19 Name Date Class Enrichment LESSON 1 Plant Respiration Green plants perform photosynthesis, but all living things perform cellular respiration. You have learned that cellular respiration produces the energy molecule ATP from glucose and oxygen. It is ATP that fuels animal bodies for running, finding food, and all the other things for which we need energy. But if a plant makes its own food, why does it need to perform cellular respiration to get ATP? Why Do Plants Perform Cellular Respiration? Look at the chemical equation for cellular respiration. C6H12O6 (one molecule of glucose) and 6O2 (six molecules of oxygen) react together to produce 6CO2 (six molecules of carbon dioxide), 6H2O (six molecules of water), and ATP (energy). C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP (energy) What is the “food” made by plants in photosynthesis? Glucose. Which molecule do cells use for energy? Not glucose. It’s ATP. So in cellular respiration, plants use the glucose they make in photosynthesis to produce ATP. No living thing, including plants, can use glucose directly as energy. Cellular respiration provides the ATP that all cells need to support the activities of life. Where Does Cellular Respiration Occur? Within the cytosol of a plant or animal cell are large organelles called mitochondria. Mitochondria are the sites of cellular respiration. These organelles occur in different numbers depending on the type of cell they are in. Mitochondria are usually more numerous in a cell that has a high energy requirement. Mitochondria can number in the thousands in the leg muscle cells of a marathon runner. Leaf cells that are carrying out the activities of photosynthesis also contain numerous mitochondria. Applying Critical-Thinking Skills Directions: Respond to each statement. 1. Compare photosynthesis with cellular respiration. 2. Predict what the side effects might be of a chemical hormone that interferes with the normal function of mitochondria when applied to a plant. 3. Infer three functions of a plant cell that require energy in the form of ATP. 20 Plant Processes and Reproduction Copyright © Glencoe/McGraw-Hill, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Plants don’t run or hunt for food, and they don’t breathe in and out with lungs either. Plants give off oxygen as a product of photosynthesis. They get oxygen for cellular respiration from their own cells and from the environment through special structures on their leaves. Plant cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide just as it does in animals and other heterotrophs. Remember that a heterotroph is an organism that consumes plants or other organisms for food and an autotroph makes its own food through photosynthesis. So the question is still, “Plants don’t breathe, and they don’t move, and they don’t do hardly any of the things that animals do, so why do they perform cellular respiration?” The Answer Is in the Equation Name Challenge Date Class LESSON 1 The Colors of Photosynthesis A pigment is a chemical compound that reflects only a certain wavelength of light. Chlorophyll is a green pigment that absorbs light energy and moves that energy directly into the photosynthesis pathway. Did you know that there are other pigments in plants that help with photosynthesis? There are pigments classified as carotenoids (red, orange, yellow), xanthins (blue), and erythrins (in red algae). These pigments absorb light energy and pass that energy to chlorophyll to transfer into the photosynthetic pathway. These pigments are present in plants year-round but are masked by green chlorophyll most of the time. In fall, when there is less light, the days are shorter, the temperatures are cooler, and the rate of photosynthesis slows and stops as food is stored inside the plant. The green pigment fades, and the brilliant colors of fall become visible. Copyright © Glencoe/McGraw-Hill, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. See the Pigments Select two leaves—a dark-green leaf and a leaf of a plant that is red or yellow. Some ornamental shrubs have colorful leaves even in summer. Place each leaf on a piece of waxed paper, and cover it with a white coffee filter. Use a coin to rub the leaf until the coffee filter is stained with the leaf’s pigment. Cut the filter into a long strip with the stain on one end. Tape the strip over the side of a small glass container with the stain at the bottom. With adult supervision, pour rubbing alcohol into the glass until the stain is covered. You can also carefully chop the remains of the leaf into fine bits and put it in the alcohol. Wait about an hour and a half and then observe your setup. Draw your setup in the space below. Then write a description of your procedure and your results. What do you see on the strip? How many different colors can you see? How can you classify the colors? Plant Processes and Reproduction 21
