Document Summary

Breakdown and utilization of sugars and fats 420-425. Energy in biological systems: organisms use energy to build complex biological molecules, maintain their structure and move; required in every cell and either comes from food consumption or form light energy (for plants) Two sources of energy available to organisms: electromagnetic and chemical: chemical energy = energy stored in molecules, usually held in electron orbitals and. Electromagnetic energy = light energy molecular bonds: breaking and formation of bonds results in energy transfers. In atp, energy is stored in the structure of the molecule and released when the molecule is cleaved to form adp and phosphate. Break down of glucose; both prokaryotes and eukaryotes use glycolysis, even anaerobic bacteria. Glu(cid:272)ose (cid:1006) pyruvate + (cid:1006) atp + (cid:1006) nadh. Pyruvate a(cid:272)etyl coa (cid:894)+ nadh(cid:895) (cid:1007) nadh + fadh2+ 2 co2+ gtp. Net gain of atp from tca + etc is another 36 atp.
