Document Summary

Energy flows through ecosystems while the chemicals within an ecosystem are recycled. Energy flow: light => organic molecules => atp + heat. C6h12o6 + 6 o2 => 6 co2 + 6 h2o + energy (atp + heat) >>>>>the atp generated is used for work and then regenerated. Atp producing pathway in which the ultimate electron acceptor is an inorganic molecule, usually oxygen. >>>>>redox reactions release energy when electrons move closer to electronegative atoms. Release energy when electrons move closer to electronegative atoms. Chemical reactions which involve a partial or complete transfer of electrons from one reactant to another. Ch4 + 2o2 co2 + energy + 2h2o. The transfer of electrons doesn"t have to be a complete transfer (shown above) it may only be a partial transfer (e. g. , combustion of methane) X is the reducing agent, and y is the oxidizing agent. Xe- is oxidized to x and y is reduced to ye-
