Document Summary

Cellular respiration: collection of metabolic reactions within cells that breaks down food molecules to produce atp: transform the potential energy found in food molecules into a form that can be used for metabolic processes. Life and its systems are driven by a cycle of electron flow that is powered by light in photosynthesis and oxidation in cellular respiration. The more electronegative an atom, the greater the force that holds the electrons to the atom, and, therefore, the greater the energy required to remove the electrons. Concept of redox reactions: although many oxidation reactions involve oxygen, others, including a number involved in cellular respiration, do not, the gain or loss of an electron in a redox reaction is not always complete. Cellular respiration can be divided into 3 parts: glycolysis: enzymes break down a molecule of glucose into 2 molecules of pyruvate.
