Document Summary

The structure of macromolecules allows energy to be stored that can be released in metabolic pathways using specific proteins. Carbohydrates store energy in chemical bonds, energy is released when enzymes break those bonds. Anabolic metabolic pathways capture light energy and store as chemical. Light energy stored as chemical bonds of carbohydrates. Cellular respiration: complete oxidation, waste products: h2o, co2, net energy trapped: 32 atp. Fermentation: incomplete oxidation (not completely breaking down glucose, waste products: organic compound and co2, net energy trapped: 2 atp per glucose started with, used in previous history when oxygen wasn"t present. Catabolic metabolic pathways harvest energy of carbohydrates of atp. Pathway used depends on presence/absence of o2. Chemical energy stored in carbohydrate bonds is extracted and converted into usable energy (atp) Overall reaction for complete oxidation of glucose to co2. C6h12o6 + 6o2 6co2 + 6h2o + energy. Glucose is the reducing agent (electron donor) O2 is the oxidizing agent (electron acceptor)
