Document Summary

Intro a: respiration is a catabolic pathway b. i. *sunlight and food provide source of e* b. i. 1. Sugars/amino acids/fatty acids bloodstream cells for. Cellular respiration b. ii. b. iii. can"t do cellular work. Nad+ (oxidized) vs. nadh (reduced) dehydrogenase (enzyme [b/c ends in -ase] b. iii. 1. b. ii. 1. moves h b. iii. 1. b. ii. 1. a. when used- substrate = oxidized b. iii. 1. b. ii. 1. b. Nadh stored as e used for. Atp synthesis b. iii. 2. release stored e (from glucose) *glucose is a monosaccharide carbohydrate get e from chemical bonds in food e stored in b. iii. 2. a. b. iii. 2. b. Aerobic respiration in eukaryotes catabolism of nutrients co2, h2o, e. Atp also a simple sugar food w/ chem bonds that b. iii. 4. b. iii. 3. a. iv. 3. most food is this (glucose) happens in all cells (in order to get atp), regardless if the cell is an autotroph or a heterotroph. Reduction- gain of e-; reduces; results in (+) charge a. ii. 1. 3. e- can"t exist in living cells as a free radical (in free state: antioxidants prevent these free radicals from forming.
