Document Summary

Two key features: bag within a bag the intermembrane space and the matrix, electron carriers are organized within the inner bag . Harvests energy to be used for cellular functions. The food we eat is oxidized to produce high-energy electrons that are converted to stored energy. Atp molecules are like free-floating rechargeable batteries in all living cells. Pop off the 3rd phosphate group: atp -> adp + phosphate group + energy release, releases a burst of energy. Cellular respiration 3 step process: glycolysis, krebs cycle, electron transport chain. Glycolysis - the first step of cellular respiration, the universal energy-releasing pathway. Anaerobic: preparatory phase, glucose spends 2 atp molecules to become an unstable molecule prepared to be broken down, payoff phase, results in 4 atp, 2 nadh, and water into 2 pyruvate molecules. 2 carbon dioxide molecules are released into the atmosphere: the remaining 4 carbon molecule is rearranged to form oxaloacetate.
