Document Summary

Glucose catabolism is tightly regulated and occurs at temperatures compatible with life. Glucose catabolism pathway extracts energy stored in the covalent bonds of glucose and stores it instead in. Adp +pi+fee energy atp o the standard free energy change resulting from the complete conversion of glucose and o2 to co2 and water (by combustion or metabolism) is -686 kcal/mol. Overall reaction is highly exergonic and can drive the endergonic formation of a great deal of atp from adp and phosphate: 3 catabolic processes harvest the energy in the chemical bond of glucose: o glycolysis. Glucose converted to 2 molecules of 3c pyruvate. Small amount of energy captured in usable forms. Anaerobic process (does not require o2) o cellular respiration. Each pyruvate is converted into 3 molecules of co2 through a set of catabolic pathways including: Electron transport chain in the process, a great deal of energy stored in the covalent bonds of pyruvate is captured to form atp o fermentation.
