Document Summary

Energy flows into ecosystem as sunlight exits as heat. Energy flow and chemical cycling in biosphere. Photosynthesis: plants convert sunlight energy to chemical energy stored in sugars and other organic molecules. Cellular respiration: both plants and animals convert chemical energy to work and heat. Work: synthesizing proteins, replicating dna all cell has to do to. Catabolic pathways yield energy by oxidizing organic fuels. Catabolic pathways: metabolic pathways that release stored energy by breaking down complex molecules. Fermentation: partial degradation of sugars or other organic fuel that occurs without the use of oxygen. Uses only substrate -level phosphorylation to generate atp. Aerobic respiration: oxygen is consumed, along with the organic fuel. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms carry out this. Anaerobic respiration: harvests chemical energy without oxygen. Uses an electron transport chain with final electron acceptor other than o2 (e. g. sulfate in some bacteria and archaea. Cellular respiration: both aerobic and anaerobic processes. Often referred to aerobic process (uses oxygen)
