Controlled release of energy from organic compounds to produce ATP
Role of ATP in CR
ATPis an immediate source of energy
How much ATP does anaerobic CR yield from glucose.
Small yield
What is required for aerobic CR and what does in yield?
Requires oxygen and gives a large yield of ATP from glucose
Anaerobic CR in yeast is used in baking because
It produces ethanol and carbon dioxide to help the dough rise
Main organic compounds in cr
Carbs, but lipids and proteins can also be digested
Anaerobic - what and where?
Partial breakdown of glucose in the cytosol
Aerobic - what and where?
Utilizes oxygen to completely breakdown glucose for a large ATP yield in the mitochondria
Complete equation
C6H12O6 + 6O2 = 6co2 +h2o +ATP
ATP and its structure
High energy molecule that functions as an immediate source of power for cell processes. It contains three covalently linked phosphate groups that store potential energy in their bonds
How does cr regenerate ATP?
Uses energy stored in organic molecules to regenerate ATP from ADP +Pi via oxidation
ATP AND ADP
ATP can be phosphoryllated from ADP
Lactate production-why?
To maximise the power of muscle contractions
