Document Summary

Chapter 6 cellular respiration textbook notes. 6. 1 the chemical basis of cellular respiration. The reactions of photosynthesis trap light energy and use it to convert co2 and water into organic molecules such as sugars, which contain an abundance of free energy. Cellular respiration extracts the potential energy and converts it into atp, a form of chemical energy that can be used by cell for energy-requiring reactions. The complete oxidation of food molecules results in formation of co2. Common thing between glucose and gasoline: both are good fuel molecules that contain an abundance of hydrogen in the form of c-h bonds. Electrons associated with c-h bon are equidistant from both nuclei. Because of this, they contain high energy and can be easily removed. Molecules that have many oxygen have less potential energy because oxygen is highly electronegative and so a greater energy is required to remove these electrons.
