Document Summary

9. 1 catabolic pathways yield energy by oxidizing organic fuels. Photosynthesis generate oxygen by mitochondria of eukaryotes respiration breaks fuel down using o2 and generating atp waste is co2 and water. Organic compounds have energy because of electron bonds. Compounds that are exergonic act as fuel. Energy from chemical storage can be used to do work. Fermentation: partial degradation of sugars or other organic fuel that occurs without use of oxygen. Aerobic respiration: oxygen consumed as reactant along with organic fuel. Prokaryotic may use substances other than oxygen. Cellular respiration: both aerobic and anaerobic processes. Food provides fuel for respiration exhaust is carbon dioxide and water. Starch: storage polysaccharide that can be broken down into glucose subunits. Free energy change of -686 kcal per mole of glucose decomposed. Products of chemical process store less energy than reactants. Redox reactions: transfer of one or more electrons from one reactant to another electron transfers are called oxidation reduction reactions.
