Document Summary

Catabolism- set of chemical reactions that break down molecules into smaller units. These reactions release energy that can be stores as atp. Anabolism- set of chemical reactions that build molecules from smaller units, require an input of energy, usually atp. Cellular respiration- fuel molecules (glucose, proteins, etc) are catabolized into smaller units, releasing energy to power the cell, co2 is a waste product. Cellular respiration can be aerobic (with oxygen) or anaerobic (without oxygen) Cellular respiration produces so much energy because the sum of potential energy of the reactants (glucose and oxygen) is higher than the products (carbon dioxide and water) Energy is gradually released, so it is not wasted as heat. 32 molecules of atp are produced from a single molecule of glucose. Only 34% of energy released is harnessed as atp, the rest is given off as heat. Atp is produced 2 different ways through cellular respiration.
