94 views12 pages

Document Summary

In eukaryotes, the mitochondria is where the key reactions of cellular respiration occur. During these reactions, energy in food molecules is broken down to be used by the cell. 6. 1 - the chemical basis of cellular respiration. Cellular respiration the process by which energy-rich molecules are broken down to produce energy in the form of atp. Anabolic reactions metabolic reaction that requires energy to assemble simple substances into more complex molecules. Photosynthesis is the source of energy for compounds such as proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. During photosynthesis, the electrons from light energy and water combine w/ hydrogen, which results in the reduction of co2 and the production of glucose. Photosynthesis also produces o2 which is needed for cellular respiration to occur. Therefore systems of life are driven by photosynthesis and cellular respiration: 6. 1a - food is fuel. Glucose is a food molecule because it contains many c-h bonds.
