Document Summary

Explain how oxygen is processed on the cellular level. Antioxidant, reactive oxygen species, oxidative stress, free radicals. Explain what ros does to the body. Explain the importance of exogenous antioxidants (as compared to endogenous) Describe how antioxidants become integrated into the diet. All organisms (including photoautotrophs) convert chemical energy of organic compounds to chemical energy of atp. Atp is a common energy currency that drives metabolic reactions in cells. Convert glucose and other sugars into pyruvate. End in cytoplasm, do not use oxygen, yield 2 atp per molecule of glucose. Ends in mitochondria, uses oxygen, yields up to 36 atp per glucose molecule. All organisms produce atp by degradative pathways that extract chemical energy from glucose and other organic compounds. Aerobic respiration yields the most atp from each glucose molecule. Glycolysis : yields 2 net atp, 2 nadh, 2 pyruvate. Krebs cycle : yields 6 co2, 2atp, 8 nadh, 2 fadh2. In eukaryotes, aerobic respiration is completed inside mitochondria.
