Document Summary

Start with glucose, break down, liberate energy, use energy stored in glucose to make atp from adp + Aerobic cellular respiration uses oxygen as final electron acceptor. Glycolysis- in cytosol in eukaryotic cell-net of 2 atp, nadh-electron carrier. 2 molecules of pyruvate, processed in mitchondria matrix to acetyl coa. Atp synthase-used stores hydrogen ions to make atp. Hydrolyze atp-produce lots of energy, to activate endergonic reaction. Endergonic-unfavorable, non-spontaneous, requires energy input, positive delta g. Exergonic-favorable, spontaneous, no energy input requires, negative delta g, increased entropy, decreased energy. Phosphorylate-introduce neg charge, change shape, activate enzyme or substrate. Electrons move from one molecule to another, or shift position in covalent bond. Oxygen is acting as oxidizing agent because it causes the oxidation of glucose. In cell, transfer of electron is accompanied by h+ from surrounding solution. Nad+(oxidized state) reduced to nadh-picks up electron and hydrogen. Nadh-reducing power, can donate electrons to molecule, reducing it. Carbon skeleton is being oxidized from glucose molecule.
