Document Summary

Concept 9. 1: catabolic pathways yield energy by oxidizing organic fuels. The breakdown of organic molecules is exergonic: an exergonic reaction proceeds with a net release of free energy and is spontaneous. Fermentation is a partial degradation of sugars that occurs without o2 wine! Aerobic respiration consumes organic molecules and o2 and yields atp. Anaerobic respiration is similar to aerobic respiration but consumes compounds other than. Cellular respiration includes both aerobic and anaerobic respiration but is often used to refer to aerobic respiration. Although carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are all consumed as fuel, it is helpful to trace cellular respiration with the sugar glucose. C6h12o6 + 6 o2 6 co2 + 6 h2o + energy (atp + heat) glucose. The transfer of electrons during chemical reactions releases energy stored in organic molecules. This released energy is ultimately used to synthesize atp. Imagine electrons equally shared by atoms are a bit like satellites orbiting high above two planets.
