Document Summary

Cellular respiration is catabolic; breaking down a molecule with lots of free energy and converting it to carbon dioxide because carbon dioxide has no real usable free energy in co2. Is exergonic, catabolic, and the energy form we convert to is atp. If we were to break down fats and get chemical energy, the cell would use a single type of energy, so in terms of evolution, it made sense to use atp as energy. Atp is the currency of the cell because everything accepts this currency. Three major cycles: glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, and electron transfer system and oxidative phosphorylation. Everything that occurs in chloroplast and mitochondria occurs in certain bacteria; these processes did not evolve with eukaryotes; they evolved much earlier though bacteria don"t have chloroplasts/mitochondria, they undergo aerobic respiration and oxidative photosynthesis. Product of glycolysis is pyruvate, sits in the cytosol of the cell. During transport into the mitochondrial matrix, some co2 is lost; this is called.
