Document Summary

Concept 9. 1: catabolic pathways yield energy by oxidizing organic fuels, catabolic pathways release stored energy by breaking down complex molecules, electron transfer plays a major role in these pathways, these processes are central to cellular respiration. Redox reactions: oxidation and reduction: the transfer of electrons during chemical reactions releases energy stored in organic molecules, this released energy is ultimately used to synthesize atp. Oxidation of organic fuel molecules during cellular respiration: during cellular respiration, the fuel (such as glucose) is oxidized, and o2 is reduced. Concept 9. 3: after pyruvate is oxidized, the citric acid cycle completes the energy-yielding oxidation of organic molecules, in the presence of o2, pyruvate enters the mitochondrion (in eukaryotic cells) where the oxidation of glucose is completed. The citric acid cycle: the citric acid cycle, also called the krebs cycle, completes the breakdown of pyruvate to. Co2: the cycle oxidizes organic fuel derived from pyruvate, generating 1 atp, 3 nadh, and.
