Document Summary

Captures light energy from the sun and stores it as chemical energy: heterotrophy. Each step of photosynthesis and heterotrophism gives off heat energy: catabolism. Breaking down larger molecules into smaller molecules for energy anabolism. Using energy to build cell components, more complicated molecules: metabolism. Electron transfer: tca cycle, glycolysis, pentose phosphate shunt, major source of energy in cell. Passage of electrons releases energy: requires electron donor and electron acceptor, electron transport found in all cells from bacteria to us. Different donors, acceptors: electron energy can be stored. Phosphorylation energy: less energy than oxidation-reduction reactions that result in the electron transfer method, but still useful. Useful energy level for most cell reactions: no electron donor or acceptor needed. Released via hydrolysis (addition of h2o: atp most common energy source. Reduced geological compounds (rocks, inorganic compounds) (reduced) biological macromolecules (starch, fats) (energy source for animals) (first energy source) Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate glyceraldehyde-3- phosphate + dihydroxyacetone phosphate: very specific for their substrate.
