Document Summary

Energy flows through ecosystems while the chemicals within an ecosystem are recycled. Energy flow: light => organic molecules => atp + heat. C6h12o6 + 6 o2 => 6 co2 + 6 h2o + energy (atp + heat) >>>>>the atp generated is used for work and then regenerated. >>>>>redox reactions release energy when electrons move closer to electronegative atoms. The transfer of electrons doesn"t have to be a complete transfer (shown above) it may only be a partial transfer (e. g. , combustion of methane) X is the reducing agent, and y is the oxidizing agent. Xe- is oxidized to x and y is reduced to ye- Carbon and hydrogen of c6h12o6 is oxidized to 6 co2 and 6 h2o, oxygen of 6 o2 is reduced to 6 h2o. The valence electrons of carbon and hydrogen lose potential energy as they shift toward the more electronegative oxygen atoms; the released energy is used to make.
