Cells break down glucose using ______ into ___, ____ and most importantly ATP***
oxygen, C02, water
All use the SAME metabolic pathways for harvesting energy
- animals
- fungi
- plants
- protisa
Major metabolic pathway requires…
O2 which produces GREAT amounts of ATP
In absence of O2, some cells still harvest energy, but…
yield is lower
_____ flows through ecosystems
Energy
Plants harvest sunlight through…
- photosynthesis
- energy stored in carbs
- used for plant growth
Heterotrophs consume, directly or indirectly…
- energy stored by PLANTS
ex. herbivores, carnivores
Cellular metabolism converts stored…
CHEMICAL energy into forms useful to cell
ATP
-energy molecule that POWERS chemical reactions in cell
ATP & ADP are related _______
- compounds
- different in # of phosphates
Phosphorylation
- transfer phosphate TO molecule
- energizes recipient MOLECULE, allows chemical reactions
Transferring e- also transfers…
ENERGY in cell
In biological systems, energy carriers transfer _______ & _______
e- and H+
e- carriers include _____
- NADH
ex. linx bus
NAD + 2e- + H+ —-> NADH
Energy harvest occurs through the ______ OR _______ pathway
aerobic OR anaerobic
