Document Summary

Take sunlight and turn it into chemical compounds to use for energy. Carbon source to build organic carbon based molecules. Take co2 and energy and build sugars. Break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins because they are bigger and less stable (energy yielding nutrients) Catabolism: breaking down bigger compounds to small energy poor end products (exergonic, oxidative) (energy released) From amino acids, sugars, fatty acids, and nitrogenous bases to proteins, polysaccharides, lipids, and nucleic acids. Energy in glucoses chemical bonds are used to make atp (cellular respiration) An atom or molecule that loses an electron is said to be oxidized ; an atom or molecule that gains an electron is said to be reduced . These reactions are always linked- the energetic electrons are transferred when bonds are made or broken. Energetic electrons carry potential energy so that molecules gaining electrons gain potential energy. Nad+ (empty bucket) nadh (full bucket of electrons/energy) Fad (empty bucket) fadh2 (full bucket of electrons/energy)
