Document Summary
What keeps us going: eating and breathing. Conversion of energy in carbohydrates and other molecules into atp: redox reactions: reduction and oxidation, mitochondria is the key organelle, c6h1206 + 602 = 6co2 + 6h20 + energy, oxidation = the loss of an electron. Loss energy: reduction = the gain of an electron. Gain energy: if an oxidation happens then a reduction must happen and vise versa. Memorize the following: electrons have energy, follow the electron to follow the energy. Indirect production via electrons: reducing agents: molecules that give away their electrons. Reducing agents themselves will be oxidized in the redox reaction. Monday, september 26, 2016: oxidizing agents: molecules that can receive electrons. Oxidizing agents themselves will be reduced in the redox reaction. Oxidizing agents have less or no energy: a redox reaction is one in which an oxidation and a reduction occurs. 4 stages of cellular respiration: glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, citric acid cycle, oxidative phosphorylation.
