Document Summary

As we break down large molecules into its components, we can use those pieces to build new molecules and the released energy can be stored as atp or another intermediate. Glucose is a six carbon sugar (c6h12o6) and it is necessary for cellular energy. During cellular respiration, energy can also be stored by electrons: Reduction si the gain of one or more electrons by an atom, ion or molecule. The high energy electron can be later used to make atp. Oxidation is the loss of one or more electrons. Cellular respiration has 4 steps: glycolysis a glucose molecule is broken down into 2 pyruvate (with 3 carbons each). The energy released is enough for 4 atp and some nadh excess. Glycolysis is anaerobic (no oxygen) and occurs in the cytoplasm. It requires an investment of energy (2atp) because it has an activation energy: transition the two pyruvate lose 1 carbons molecule each and become 2 acetyl coas.
