Document Summary

Glucose - most common source of chemical energy used by organisms. Process sugar, energy released is used to transfer a phosphate group to adp, generating atp. Atp produced from chemical energy from glucose. Storage carbohydrates such as starch and glycogen acts like saving accounts for chemical energy. Glucose used to produce atp through one of 2 general processes. Difference lies in degree to which glucose is oxidized. Glucose undergoes oxidation reaction - burning, some pe stored in chemical bonds converted to ke in form of heat and light. C6h12o6 +6o2 6co2 6h2o + heat and light energy. Released free energy from glucose is used to synthesize atp from adp and pi. Fermentation - process that oxidized glucose; but not fully; small reduced organic molecules are produced as waste; not as much energy is released in fermentation. 4 interconnected process to convert chemical energy in glucose to chemical energy in atp.
