ENE 1.H.2 Life requires a highly ordered system and does not violate the second law of thermodynamics—

b. Cellular processes that release energy may be coupled with cellular processes that require energy.
c. Loss of order or energy flow results in death.
ENE 1.H.3 Energy-related pathways in biological systems are sequential to allow for a more controlled and efficient transfer of energy. A product of a reaction in a metabolic pathway is generally the reactant for the subsequent step in the pathway.

ENE 1.I.1 Organisms capture and store energy for use in biological processes—
a. Photosynthesis captures energy from the sun and produces sugars.
i.Photosynthesis first evolved in prokaryotic organisms
ii. Scientific evidence supports the claim that prokaryotic (cyanobacterial) photosynthesis was responsible for the production of an oxygenated atmosphere.
iii. Prokaryotic photosynthetic pathways were the foundation of eukaryotic photosynthesis.

BILL What's my job?
ENE 1.J.2 Photosystems I and II are embedded in the internal membranes of chloroplasts and are connected by the transfer of higher energy electrons through an electron transport chain (ETC).
ENE 1.J.3 When electrons are transferred between molecules in a sequence of reactions as they pass through the ETC, an electrochemical gradient of protons (hydrogen ions) is established across the internal membrane.
ENE 1.J.4 The formation of the proton gradient is linked to the synthesis of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate via ATP synthase.
ENE 1.J.5 The energy captured in the light reactions and transferred to ATP and NADPH powers the production of carbohydrates from carbon dioxide in the Calvin cycle, which occurs in the stroma of the chloroplast.

ENE 1.K.2 Cellular respiration in eukaryotes involves a series of coordinated enzyme-catalyzed reactions that capture energy from biological macromolecules.
ENE 1.K.3 The electron transport chain transfers energy from electrons in a series of coupled reactions that establish an electrochemical gradient across membranes—
a. Electron transport chain reactions occur in chloroplasts, mitochondria, and prokaryotic plasma membranes.
b. In cellular respiration, electrons delivered by NADH and FADH are passed to a series of electron acceptor2s as they move toward the terminal electron acceptor, oxygen. In photosynthesis, the terminal electron acceptor is NADP+. Aerobic prokaryotes use oxygen as a terminal electron acceptor, while anaerobic prokaryotes use other molecules.
c. The transfer of electrons is accompanied by the formation of a proton gradient across
 the inner mitochondrial membrane or the internal membrane of chloroplasts, with
the membrane(s) separating a region of high proton concentration from a region of
 low proton concentration. In prokaryotes, the passage of electrons is accompanied
 by the movement of protons across the plasma membrane.
d. The flow of protons back through membrane-bound ATP synthase by
 chemiosmosis drives the formation of ATP from ADP and in organic
phosphate. This is known as oxidative phosphorylation in cellular respiration,and
photophosphorylation in photosynthesis.
e. In cellular respiration, decoupling oxidative phosphorylation from electron transport
generates heat. This heat can be used by endothermic organisms to regulate
body temperature.
ENE 1.L Explain how cells obtain energy from biological macromolecules in order to power cellular functions. Cellular Respiration
