Document Summary

Cellular respiration produces atp from molecules with high potential energy. Energy storage molecule for later use is atp. Energy and glucose will get you atp, and you have a more energetic molecule compared to what you started with. In cells, the endergonic reactions needed for life are paired with exergonic reactions requiring atp. One of the first kind of set reactions in cells that extracted energy from glucose, but not efficient. Mitochondria amped up the level of energy extraction and efficiency (atp production) Each electron transferred from one molecule to another during a redox reaction is usually accompanied by a proton (h+) The reduced molecule gains a proton and has higher potential energy. The oxidized molecule loses a proton and has lower potential energy. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (nad) is reduced to form nadh. Nadh readily donates electrons to other molecules and is thus called an electron carrier and has reducing power.
