Document Summary

Bioa01fall2010 chapter 7: pathways that harvest chemical energy. glycolysis: begins glucose metabolism in all cells and produces two molecules of three carbon product pyruvate. A small amount of the energy stored in glucose is captured in usable forms. cellular respiration: uses oxygen (aerobic) from the environment and completely converts each pyruvate molecule into three molecules of carbon dioxide. A great deal of the energy stored in the covalent bonds of pyruvate is released and transferred to adp and phosphate to form atp. Converts pyruvate into lactic acid or ethyl alcohol which are still energy rich molecules. Because the breakdown of glucose is incomplete, much less energy is released than by cellular respiration. glycolysis takes place first then 3 steps of cellular respiration: pyruvate oxudation, citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain. reduction is the gain of one or more electrons. oxidation is the loss of one or more electrons.
