Document Summary

The targeted reading is created to guide your study, directing your attention to the content that will help you meet the learning objectives. There are detailed learning objectives at the end of the document if you need extra guidance. The answers to the self-assessment questions are also included. 7. 1 an overview of cellular respiration (p. 135-138) Cellular respiration is a series of catabolic reactions that converts the energy in fuel molecules into energy in atp. Relate life"s requirement for energy to cellular respiration, the series of catabolic reactions that convert energy in fuel molecules into energy in atp. Cellular respiration: a series of chemical reactions in which organic molecules are oxidized to carbon dioxide, converting the energy stored in organic molecules to atp. Adenosine triphosphate (atp): the molecule that provides energy in a form that all cells can readily use to perform the work of the cell.
