Document Summary

About %34 of the energy in a glucose molecule is transferred to atp during cell respiration. So a lot of heat is made, but not much atp. Chemiosmotic theory - how atp made in respiration (peter mitchell figured this out) Proton motive force used to make h + Uncouplers used to be diet aids - eat as much as you want, but no energy to do work. Oxidative phosphorylation - what happens if there is no oxygen: some organisms can use other elements to respire (like nitrate or sulfate or carbon dioxide). Works fine for smaller organisms, because not big enough supply of nitrogen/sulfur/etc for bigger organisms: fermentation - electrons from oxidation are passed to other carbon compounds. Lactic acid fermentation - glycolysis with one extra reaction to make nad+. Humans make lactic acid when oxygen is scarce. Uses fermentation to make a little atp. Reduce nadp + to nadph (if remove p, backwards from respiration)
