Document Summary
Material from the first 4 cycles (30-35 mc) cellular respiration. 3 turns of the calvin cycle 1 g3p. Making glucose, idea of polymers and monomers as basic units of life 3,5,6 carbon molecules forming individual monomers or monosaccharides. Monosaccharide rings tend to fold into ring-like structures, things like glucose do exist in linear forms but they typically form a ring. Polysaccharides used for structural ways in many different organisms (not just an energy source) like cellulose, chiton etc. Built up from g3p which comprise parts of the cells. Breaking down glucose into co2, water and energy. Cellular respiration is the other half or opposite of photosynthesis. Catabolic, exergonic pathway which consumes oxygen and produces water. O2 is the ultimate acceptor which accepts it and consumed, entirely necessary in. Energy is extracted from glucose to a form that the cell can readily use atp. Changing glucose to atp and losing all this energy because atp can be used cellular respiration.
