Document Summary

Bsc 2010: chapter 6 summary (midterm study guide) Concept 6. 1 atp and reduced coenzymes play important roles in biological energy. Metabolism is carried out in small steps and involves coenzymes as carriers of chemical energy. Adenosine triphosphate (atp) serves a energy currency in the cell. Hydrolysis of atp releases a large amount of free energy. In oxidation, a material loses electrons by transfer to another material, which thereby undergoes reduction. Such redox reactions transfer large amounts of energy. The coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (nad) is a key electron carrier in biological redox reactions. It exists in two forms, one oxidized (nad+) and the other reduced (nadh) Concept 6. 2 carbohydrate catabolism in the presence of oxygen releases a large amount of. The sequential pathways of aerobic glucose catabolism are glycolysis, pyruvate, oxidation, and the citric acid cycle. In glycolysis, a series of ten enzyme-catalyzed reactions in the cell cytoplasm converts glucose to two molecules of pyruvate.
