Document Summary

Fermentation: the partial degradation of sugars or other fuels without using oxygen. Aerobic respiration: catabolic pathway where oxygen is used along with the fuel. Some prokaryotes use other substances like sulphur to carry out respiration and this is known as anaerobic respiration. Cellular respiration: the term for both aerobic and anaerobic respiration. Glucose breakdown: c6h12o6 + 6 o2 = 6 water + 6 co2 + 36atp. Redox reactions: the transfer of one or more electrons from one reactant to another. Not all redox reactions result in complete loss of electrons can result in covalent bonds. Organic molecules with an abundance of hydrogen make excellent fuels. It is inefficient to breakdown a molecule (ex. Glucose) in one step, so it is instead broken down in multiple steps to release maximum energy. At keys steps electrons are stripped from glucose and usually given to nad+ which can be reduced to nadh.
