61 views5 pages

Document Summary

Food is fuel/energy: cellular respiration breaks down this fuel generating atp to power cells. Catabolic pathways yield energy through a series of redox reactions that involve loss/gain or shift in position of electrons (to lower energy states) Glycolysis harvests chemical energy by oxidising glucose to pyruvate. After pyruvate oxidation, the citric acid cycle completes the energy-yielding oxidation of organic molecules. During oxidative phosphorylation, chemiosmosis couples electron transport to atp synthesis. Glycolysis and citric acid cycle connect to other metabolic pathways. Fermentation and anaerobic respiration allow cells to produce atp without use of oxygen. C6h12o6 + 6o2 6co2 + 6h2o + energy (atp + heat) involve loss/gain (transfer) or movement of electrons. Loss of electrons from one substance= oxidation (donor) Addition of electrons to second substance = reduction (acceptor) Electrons move from a high-energy to low-energy state via a (complex) controlled series of energy-releasing steps each catalysed by a different enzyme. Glucose nad+/nadh electron transport chain oxygen.
