Document Summary
The energy needed to make adp to atp (anabolic), it comes from catabolic pathway (hydrolysis of atp to adp + pi). Energy released from catabolic pathway is used to drive anabolic pathway: role of c-h bond in bioenergetics glucose is a good fuel molecules because of the abundance of hydrogen in the form of c-h bonds. Electrons in c-h bond are farther away from the nucleus contains more energy which can be easily removed. In contrast, molecules that have an abundance of o2 contain less potential energy because o2 is high in en. C6h12o6 + 6 o2 6 co2 + 6 h2o. The process of cell respiration also depends heavily on the reduction of nad+ to. Nadh and the reverse reaction (the oxidation of nadh to nad+): biological energy is frequently stored and released by means of redox reactions, role of fad, nad+ as electron carriers. Nad+ becomes reduced (add an h + 2 e-) to nadh - respiration note:
