Document Summary

Lowers activation energy barrier via stabilising the reaction intermediate. Reactions occur at a much faster rate. All organisms use atp to drive cellular processes. Atp- made through metabolising energy rich products (carbs, fats) Both products can act as the substrate for cellular respiration. Each molecule of pyruvate results in the production of 1 atp molecule. Requires 2x atp, produces 4x atp, therefore net production: 2x atp. First stage: 2x atp used to phosphorylate & change glucose in prep for splitting into 2 x 3 carbon molecules (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate) Second stage: oxidation of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate to pyruvate atp synthesis, 4 atp"s produced, 4 electrons & 2 hydrogen atoms transferred to 2 molecules of nadh. As earth developed oxygen rich atmosphere- pathways for oxidative respiration. Ffa used as substrates in beta-oxidation. Broken down 2 carbon atoms at a time. 4 reactions oxidise the beta-carbon & produce acetyl coa. First 3 reactions: degradative pathways- oxidation & rearrangements.
