Document Summary

Atp hydrolysis provides energy to drive cellular work and energy coupling. Organic molecules (e. g. , glucose, glycogen, starch) store energy. Metabolic pathways that release energy stored in complex organic molecules are catabolic. Fermentation one catabolic pathway for atp production. Partial degradation of sugars in absence of oxygen (anaerobic metabolism) Cellular respiration a more e cient and widespread catabolic process for atp production. Oxygen (o2) is a reactant to complete the breakdown of organic molecules. Organic compounds + o2 > co2 + h2o + energy. Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins can all be used as fuel. C6h12o6 + 6o2 + 6h2o + energy (atp + heat) ^g = -686 kcal per mole of glucose. Redox reactions release energy when electrons move closer to electronegative atoms. Catabolic pathways relocate the electrons (e-) stored in food molecules. Redox reactions transfer of one or more electrons form one reactant to another. Formation of table salt from sodium and chloride is a redox reaction.
