Document Summary

Catabolic pathways yield energy by oxidizing organic fuels. Some of the energy taken out of chemical storage can be used to do work; the rest is dissipated as heat. Anaerobic respiration- harvesting chemical energy without oxygen. This breakdown of glucose is exergonic, having a free energy change of -686kcal per mole of glucose decomposed ( g = -686 kcal/mol) Oxidation of organic fuel molecules during cellular respiration. C6h12o6 + 6o2 6co2 + 6h2o + energy. Stepwise energy harvest via nad+ and the electron transport chain. If energy is released from a fuel all at once, it can not be harnessed efficiently for constructive work: glucose is broken down in a series of steps, each one. + - a coenzyme that cycles easily between catalyzed by an enzyme. Nad oxidized (nad+) and reduced (nadh) states, thus acting as an electron carrier.
