Cellular respiration: the process by which cells acquire energy by breaking down nutrient molecules produced by photosynthesizers, Requires oxygen and gives off carbon dioxide. C6h12o6 + 6o2 6co2 + 6h2o + energy. The energy released is used to produce atp molecules. Energy within a glucose molecule is released slowly, so that atp can be produced gradually and therefore is usable heat. Energy in atp molecules is equivalent to about 39% of the energy that was available in glucose. Nad+: a coenzyme of oxidation-reduction, accepts two high-energy electrons plus a hydrogen ion and nadh results, Fad: coenzyme of oxidation-reduction, sometimes used instead of nad+, accepts two electrons and two hydrogen atoms to become fadh2. Glycolysis is anaerobic meaning a chemical reaction that occurs in the absence of oxygen; an example is the fermentation reactions. All other phases are aerobic meaning a chemical process that requires air (oxygen),
