Document Summary
Cellular respiration: catabolic oxidation of macromolecules for storage of free energy in the bonds of atp, o2 is needed as the final oxidizing agent (last item in electron transport chain, c6h12o6 + 6o2 = 6co2 + 6h2o (co2 comes from glucose, water comes from o2, resulting atp use/production, 2 atp used 38 atp produced (net production of 36 atp, use of enzymes for each step reduces total activation energy and releases energy with more control, a single release of all the energy in glucose would kill the cell. Two mechanisms for forming atp: substrate level phosphorylation, direct release of free energy from a substrate is used to build atp through an enzymatic reaction, atp is created because adp and a substrate containing an inorganic phosphate bind to an enzyme and the p is transferred to the adp to produce atp, redox reactions in etc (electron transport chain) creates chemical gradient which creates, oxidative phosphorylation (oxp) diffusion which creates atp.
