Document Summary

Potential vs kinetic: chemical energy stored vs energy of movement. Energy transformations are inefficient energy is always lost as heat. High pe- cellulose polymer that is storing a high amt of pe; required endorgonic reactions to form this molecule (energy must go in before it can be stored) Electron donor molecule (e- transferred from donor to acceptor) electron acceptor molecule donor is now oxidized molecule acceptor is now reduced molecule. R. i. g. oxidation is loss of electrons, energy released (exergonic) Reduction is the gain of electrons, requires energy (endorgonic) Mitochondria- energy transferred through oxidation and reduction with goal to make atp. Electron transport chain- series of membrane proteins that are used to transfer electrons from donor to acceptor. Energy stored in p-p bonds atp is a nucleotide that temporarily stores energy. Potential energy is in the p, when youo break the p-p bond, you release energy (hydrolysis) adp + energy.
