Document Summary

Cellular respiration: involves oxidation of organic molecules and concomitant release of energy. Adenosine triphosphate (atp): energy stored in chemical bonds; used later as a direct source of energy for cellular metabolism. Photosynthesis uses light energy to split water and harvest high energy electrons. Their energetic electrons (and accompanying h+) are passed to carbon dioxide, thereby reducing carbon dioxide to energy-storing sugars. Respiration removes electrons from glucose, captures some of the energy in atp, and passes the electrons to oxygen to form water. Glycolysis: oxidation of glucose to pyruvate via a set of chemical reactions; begins respiration. Krebs cycle: continue respiration if oxygen is present by oxidizing pyruvate to carbon dioxide via chemical reactions. Aerobes: organisms that use oxygen for respiration beyond glycolysis. Aerobes oxidize the acetyl group from the pyruvate in the kreb cycle, they store energy in electron carriers such as nad+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). Aerobes store energy by reducing nad+ and fad+ by adding high energy electrons.
