Document Summary

Energy: cells require energy from an outside source, flow. Flows into an ecosystem as sunlight, and leaves as heat. Photosynthesis generates o2 and organic molecules: used by mitochondria in cellular respiration. Cells use chemical energy stored in organic molecules: rengenerate atp. Cellular respiration preview: three stages: glycolysis, citric acid cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, includes both aerobic and anaerobic respiration, carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are also broken down. Focus on glucose: c6h12o6 + 6o2 > 6co2 + 6h2o + energy(atp+heat) Redox reactions: transfer of electrons during chemical reactions: release energy stored, used to synthesize atp, principle of redox. Oil rig: oxidation is loss, reduction is gain. Oxidizing agent: electron acceptor: some redox reactions don"t transfer, but the covalent bonds change, in cellular respiration: As glucose is broken down, electrons are stripped with hydrogen atoms, that are carried through nad+/nadh. Electron transport: nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (nadh) passes the electrons from reactions to the high energy end of transport chain (exergonic)
