LIFESCI 7A Chapter Notes - Chapter 4: Oxidative Phosphorylation, Pyruvic Acid, Organic Compound
Document Summary
Cellular respiration uses chemical energy stored in molecules such as carbohydrates and lipids to produce atp. Atp is generated by substrate-level phosphorylation and oxidative phosphorylation. Define and relate the terms oxidation and reduction as they relate. Describe the energy changes associated with oxidation-reduction to chemical reactions (redox) reactions. Discuss what happens to matter and energy through the overall process of cellular respiration. Identify where the different stages of cellular respiration occur in. Discuss what happens to matter and energy through the process of the eukaryotic cell glycolysis. Cellular respiration : a series of chemical reactions in which organic molecules are oxidized to carbon dioxide, converting the energy stored in organic molecules to atp. Organic molecules are not being converted into energy (first law) Rather, it converts chemical potential energy stored in organic molecules to the chemical potential energy in atp. Cellular respiration is one of the major sets of catabolic reactions in a cell.
