Document Summary

Mitochondria are the sites of cellular respiration. Luft syndrome - first disorder to be linked directly to defective cellular organelle. In eukaryotes, mitochondria is the site of key reactions of cellular respiration - energy present in food molecules is extracted and converted into a form usable by the cell. Anabolic reactions: metabolic reaction that requires energy to assemble simple substances into more complex molecules. Cellular respiration: the process by which energy-rich molecules (carbohydrates, fats, proteins are broken down to produce energy in the form of atp - collection of metabolic reactions. Ultimate source of energy-rich carbon compounds is photosynthesis. Photosynthesis - light energy used to extract electrons from water: electrons combine with hydrogen to reduce carbon dioxide into glucose, major by-product is oxygen. Life and its systems are driven by a cycle of electron flow that is powered by light in photosynthesis and oxidation in cellular respiration.
