Document Summary

Core reactions that harvest energy in the cell: glucose + 6o2 yields (potential energy decreases) 6co2 and 6 h2o and atp. Why glucose- these reactions are the backbone of the catabolic metabolism (break down to make atp). So even when using fats, complex carbohydrates, proteins etc as energy source eventually modify these until they can feed into the central pathway. The core reactions of respiration: pat attention to: Steps where energy is exchanged between molecules. Steps where the number of carbon atoms in a molecule changes. Hexokinase (an enzyme) phosphorylates glucose in the cell"s cytoplasm. In the process, a phosphate group from atp is transferred to glucose producing glucose 6-phosphate: step 2: Phosphoglucoisomerase converts the glucose 6 phosphate into fructose. Isomers have the same molecular formula, but their atoms are arranged differently: step 3: Phosphofuctokinase (another enzyme) uses another atp to transfer a phosphate group to fructose 6 phosphate to form fructose 1, 6 bisphosphate: step 4:
