Document Summary

Metabolic pathways harvest energy from high energy molecules like glucose (most common source of chemical energy used by organisms) What happens when glucose is oxidized? the glucose in cells is oxidized through a long series of carefully controlled redox reactions. Respiration, like burning, resulting in the complete oxidation of glucose into co2 and water. Fermentation, on the other hand, does not fully oxidize glucose. Cellular respiration releases more energy from glucose than fermentation. The complete oxidation of glucose via cellular respiration can be thought of as a four step process used to convert the chemical energy in glucose to chemical energy in atp. Each of the four steps consists of a series of chemical reactions, and each step has a distinctive starting molecule and a characteristic set of products. Glycolsis: one 6 carbon molecules of glucose is broken is two molecules of the three carbon compound pyruvate. During this process, atp is produced from adp, and nad+.
