Document Summary

Chapter 8 harvesting energy part 1 of 2. How do cells transfer energy from energy storage molecules. 6 co2 + 6 h2o + light energy c6h12o6 + 6 o2. C6h12+6)2 = 6co2 + 6 h20 + chemical energy(atp-cellular energy) + heat. Cells are efficient, they store ab 40% of energy released from breakdown of glucose in bonds of atp. After glycolysis there are two possible pathways: cellular respiration occurs if oxygen is available (aerobic, fermentation occurs if oxygen is not available (anaerobic) 2 pyruvate + 6 o2 6 co2 + 6 h2o. Occurs in the cytoplasmic fluid- series of 10 reactions each catalyzed by its own enzyme. Glycolysis has two parts: glucose activation, energy harvesting packing it on is evolutionarily advantageous. Four atp generated, but 2 atp were used. Also generate 2 molecules of nadh see fig. - before glucose can be broken down it must be activated stable glucose to unstable fructose bi- phosphate.
