Document Summary

Cellular respiration: the collection of metabolic reactions within cells that break down food. The ultimate source of the organic carbon used to synthesize carbohydrates, fats, and proteins is molecules and use the liberated free energy to synthesize atp photosynthesis. 5. 1a food is fuel bonds the oxygen atom. 5. 1b coupled oxidation-reduction reactions are central to energy metabolism. Glucose is a good fuel molecule because it contains an abundance of c-c and c-h covalent. Molecule that contains more oxygen contains less free energy. Oxygen is strongly electronegative, and thus electrons are held closer to the nucleus of. Electron donor: substance from which the electrons are lost. Electron acceptor: substance that gains the electrons. The oxidation and reduction reactions occur simultaneously. Oxidation: the partial or full loss of electrons. Reduction: the partial or full gain of electrons. 5. 2b the mitochondrion is the site of aerobic cellular respiration in eukaryotes mitochondria.
