Document Summary
Cellular respiration: collection of metabolic reactions within cells that breaks down food molecules (carbohydrates, fats, proteins) and uses the liberated free energy to synthesize atp. Comes after photosynthesis which uses light energy to ultimately create glucose, a carbohydrate. Oxygen is also a by-product of photosynthesis that is necessary for cellular respiration. *oxygens high electronegativity makes it ideal as the terminal electron acceptor of cellular respiration. Dehydrogenases: group of enzymes, which oxidize food molecules (transfer electrons from food to a molecules to a molecule that acts as an energy carrier). Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide: most common energy carrier- nad+ is oxidized, The dehydrogenases remove two hydrogen atoms from a substrate and transfer the two electrons and one of the protons to nad+, reducing it to nadh. Enzymes break down glucose molecule into 2 (3c) pyruvate molecules. It occurs in all three domains of life. In glycolysis, atp is generated by substrate level.
