Document Summary
Catabolism breaking down molecules, get energy, molecules are left with less free energy (negative), spontaneous. Energy coupling reactions o: individual half-reactions. G = -3. 9 kcal/mol: actual reaction mechanism, couple an endergonic reaction with an exergonic reaction using atp, top individual half-reactions, bottom actual reaction mechanism. Breaking down a molecule with carbon to co2. Convert glucose into atp: where is it found and what does it do, what"s at the start the end, free energy, requires o2, where is the carbon, not an accountant, compare to photosynthesis. Bacteria can undergo anaerobic respiration or oxidative photorespiration. You consume some atp (phosphorylate) in early steps to make the molecule have energy) higher free energy (more reactive) and it is charged, restricts sugar to compartment where it was made. Get some atp and nadh (holds electrons) out at the end (net 2 atp) Pyruvate and glucose have different free energies (pyruvate has lower free.
