Document Summary

All cells require energy to drive metabolic reactions. Cells produce cellular energy through the break-down of energy rich molecules like fatty acids, proteins, and carbohydrates. The break- down of energy rich molecules to produce cellular energy for the cell is referred to as cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is a controlled catabolic process whereby energy is made available for the cell to do work. In eukaryotic cells, cellular respiration involves several metabolic pathways that are coupled together through intermediate molecules and enzymes. Some of the enzymes associated with cellular respiration are found in the cytoplasm of the cell, whereas others are located in the mitochondria. Thus, the entire process of cellular respiration spans multiple locations across the cell and includes several interlinked metabolic pathways. Intro to cellular respiration: cells in a complex multicellular body need to produce mass amounts of atp and most need bulk flow systems to ensure speedy exchange of materials.
