Document Summary

All organisms use glucose to build fats, carbs, ad other compounds. Cells recover glucose by breaking down these molecules (glucose used to make atp through cellular respiration or fermentation) Cellular respiration produces atp from a molecule with high potential energy (usually glucose) Carbon atoms of glucose are oxidized to form carbon dioxide. Oxygen atoms in oxygen are reduced to form water. C6h12o6 + 6 o2 6 co2 + 6 h2o + heat glucose oxygen carbon water dioxide. Glucose is oxidized through a long series of carefully controlled redox reactions. The resulting change in free energy is used to synthesize atp from adp and pi. Cellular respiration is any set of reactions that produces atp in an electron transport chain. Steps: glycolysis (glucose is broken down to pyruvate), pyruvate processing (pyruvate is oxidized to form acetyl coa), citric acid cycle (also called as krebs cycle; acetyl coa is oxidized to carbon dioxide), electron transport and chemiosmosis.
