Document Summary

Glucose (through the mitochondria) gives atp. (you also need oxygen and co2 is a waste product of making atp) Anabolism synthesis of larger energy storage molecules. Aerobic cell respiration the extraction of energy from organic molecules. It takes four steps to break down glucose to form atp glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, the krebs cycle, When a molecule is oxidized there is a loss of electron this atom is the reducing agent. When an atom gains an electron it is reduced and this atom is an oxidizing agent. Nad+ is the main electron carrier of cellular respiration. Nadh is nad+ when it is given electrons. (two electrons and a hydrogen normally) it is the reduced state. Glycolysis happens in the cytoplasm it starts with glucose. When glycolysis is finished glucose is changed to pyruvate. Starting molecule is glucose 6 carbons are found in glucose.
