Document Summary

Cells tap energy from electrons falling from organic fuels to oxygen. Glucose gives up energy as it is oxidized (loses electrons)-electrons lose potential energy. Dehydrogenase removes electron (in hydrogen atoms) from glucose molecules (oxidation) Nadh passes electrons to an electron transport chain. As electrons fall from carrier to carrier and finally to o2. Cellular energy: all organisms use atp to do cellular work, all organisms use some form of cellular respiration to produce atp, all organisms start with glucose and break it down in series of enzyme controlled steps. Some of the energy released is captured to make atp; the rest is lost as heat. Only occurs in organisms that have aerobic cellular respiration. Aerobic cellular respiration occurs in three main stages. Cellular respiration oxidizes sugar and produces atp in three main stages. The citric acid cycle (krebs"s cycle) and the oxidative phosphorylation (via the electron transport chain) occur in the mitochondria.
