Document Summary

C6h12o6 + 6o2 6co2 + 6h2o + atp + heat. Woman with luft disease was very weak and thin and always hot. Cellular respiration is the oxidation of organic molecules to get their potential energy to make atp which is needed for many processes in the cell and there"s a result of co2 released. In these bonds the electron is in the middle and at the highest energy level and can be easily removed. Unlike oxygen which has its electrons close to itself since its very electronegative and the electrons don"t have as much energy. Same reason why fats have a lot of energy since they are made of purely c-h bonds. Leo (lose electron oxidation) the lion says ger (gain electron reduction) The two are coupled and together are called redox reactions. The term oxidation is put because when a fuel molecule is oxidized the electron goes to oxygen and the oxygen becomes reduced or accepts it.
