Document Summary

Flow of energy in biological systems organisms transform energy and fuel metabolism. Flow of energy in biological systems photosynthetic reaction is the reverse of cellular respiration. 6 co2 + 6 h2o c6h12o6 + 6 o2 (+ light energy) (+ atp + release of heat) Other carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are also used as fuel for cellular respiration, but glucose is starting point for glycolysis. Endergonic reactions (requiring energy) are needed for cellular metabolism. They are paired with exergonic reactions (releasing energy) involving atp. Cellular respiration produces atp from molecules with high potential energy e. g. glucose. Glucose processing has four components: (1) glycolysis (2) pyruvate processing (3) krebs cycle (citric acid cycle or tricarboxylic acid cycle) (4) electron transport coupled with oxidative phosphorylation. Glycolysis continues when lack of an electron acceptor shuts down electron transport chains. Atp is used in organisms to drive endergonic reactions, because it is high in potential!
